JLT: Just like that
Another of those jargons used, while chatting. Realised the importance of this gradually in the past few months. That’s like the answer for most of the questions that I have now..
Why did u do an MBA.. most of us would have prepared an answer for this which either recites itself each time one is posed a question.. or an answer which is formed dynamically depending on the person u r answering to.. I used both the techniques.. but never actually believed in either.. yes.. at the verge of my course with just about a couple of weeks remaining, I think I did my MBA just like that. J
Now, I also think that the reason for my computer science is .. JLT again. I still remember myself writing my first program after having chosen my computer science engineering wondering wat it was all abt. I never thought of my fit in that field. All I knew was, most of the top rankers aspire for it and I wanted to challenge myself with that course. Happy that, I was real good fit there( or atleast thought so) and enjoyed almost all the electives offered in that course. Excellent profs, awesome classmates, exciting challenges, deadly ideas.. At the end of the day, what matters is whether u enjoyed doing what u choose.. and I did.. But I always wondered if I would say the same things, even if I choose electronics, electrical or for that matter MBBS or any other field. Ended up with a job, which was as normal and boring as all others.. Again thr could have been a gamut of challenges waiting ahead.. but didn’t give it enuf time and jumped over to an MBA.. Why again.. just like that J
History repeats itself.. does it? I didn’t know.. neither did I realise, but its sort of cool to believe :P. Again a choice on my way.. which job? ( not that I would get any job I want, but just to make it sound more dramatic :P) where to start a career in? Fin? IT? Strategy? Consulting? How does one choose? The answer lies in the answer of one of these questions. Try answering these and u would know whr to go. ( This was told by many of my frnds, elders and others whom I asked advice for)
One in which u r good at? One which u njoy doing? Whr do u see urself in five years?
I may think that I am good at more than one or none :P
I njoy most of things I do.. What I see in future depends on which angle I see through :P
With due regards to all those who tried to help me, these questions just confuse me more. I can chose any of these and give a couple of reasons if not a thousand reasons for my choice. But the point is, whatever I choose.. I think I would have done that just like that.
It’s just the start.. many decisions awaiting in my life.. Hope I figure out how a human thought process or atleast my thought process works and how I come to a particular conclusion. Or else, JLT would become my philosophy of life soon.
But then, in all these choices I faced till now, thr was some pattern even in the just like that bit.. which basically is a way of saying that the reason behind doing something is unexplainable or too trivial to reveal. There sure is some base to it and am yet to find that out.
