Interest makes a successful way
If somone choose their subject of interest by his choice, he should not avail the opportunity by chance. And there will be reverse when there is chance over choice. There are so many cases around us in front of every student where one has to become successful only after choosing his field of interest and aptitude by choice.
In many cases, a student has failed in medical stream but shines in simple arts stream only after identifying his interest stream by changing the actual track.
Many students bring laurels and excelled in different academic areas with special attributes like achieving of Gold Medals, qualifying of state or national level exam (SLET/SET, NET, JRF) & Post doctorates only after choosing their field by choice.
A huge group of unemployed youth are there as jobless, only choosing their courses by chance not by their personal choice. Many engineers are working as bankers, post graduate with bachelor of education degree holders working other than teachers, stenographers as cashiers etc.
In fact unemployment sector is one of the reasons behind this all. But we must not ignore the main fault which is lying ahead of this unemployment. Those having interest in a particular subject have been performing well in the same.
Unfortunately most of our educated youth were unaware and feeling a fair before appearing in the national competitive examinations. There is a great opportunities for the candidates having determination to qualify Civil Service Examination (CSE) for selections into IAS, IPS, IRS, IFS & other allied services, Common Defence Services (CDS), Indian Forest Services (IFS) Assistant Commandant CAPF, NDA & NA etc. the prestigious examinations conducted every year across the country by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC).

Consistency and Determination is the way ahead
All the human beings are mixtures of good and bad. No body is perfect. Self-motivation should begin with self-acceptance. Only toppers can’t get good chances. As many gold medalists failed to do a purposeful and contemporary research work in academia. While as many average students excelled in this field and have successfully rewritten the history.
What you are doing in life is governed by the choices you make without wrapping a cloth on your eyes. Parents, teachers, institutions and other experts must have to play their positive role and show them the right direction. Students must have to choose the best courses like clothes that suits you. Your purposefulness life will shine forth and you will have a passionate life, a life of honour, name and fame.
