You have graduated from University, earning that higher degree that you have
always longed for. You did very well, graduating at the top of your class. Everyone
you meet you tell them, “I am going to do great things in my field
of study, I will be climbing the ladder of success heading straight to the top
because the industry needs me!”
A reality check kicks in when after sending out hundreds of
resumes
you are still unemployed a year after graduation.
Before you realize it you have fallen into a pit of
despondency as you realize that degree or not, work experience or not, once again you will have to start at the
bottom. So you revamp your resume, you ask your friends and former classmates to
put in a good word for you at their jobs, but still nothing is forthcoming.
There is one particular organization that you would love to be a part of but
try as you may there seems to be a closed door. So you decide to do something
else other than your field of study, hoping that one day someone – your
teachers, former classmates, friends, former bosses - will remember your skills
and expertise and call upon you.
You get that call, finally! But it’s not for what you want,
it is for something else. Something that you have never studied for but is
something that you have years of experience in doing. Some of your friends are telling you to ignore it and hold out for what you really want, but this is
something that you can do with your eyes closed so you decide to give it a
chance. At the interview you realize that your prospective employer has a lot
of ideas for his organization. He has a dream for its success but he needs help
in interpreting this dream and bringing this dream into reality. Using your
past working experience, you propose how you would take the company to higher heights.
You advise him to expand the company, as it was too small to deal with the matters
and issues at hand effectively, and you also tell him exactly what you would do
to make the company more efficient. He is pleased with your proposals and
decides on the spot to hire you and put you in charge of this new project,
laughingly calling it The Dream. For
this position you are given full reign to do what you want for the best
interest of the company and you will answer only to him. You will have no
supervisors because he trusts you and believes in your capability. In a matter
of hours you have risen from obscurity to prominence just because you had the
ability to interpret the dream of someone else.
We all have our own dreams and our own desires, but there
are times when our role on this earth is to interpret, and bring into reality,
the dreams of others. Think about it, maybe, just maybe, doing this will inadvertently
fulfill your dream and your desire which was always to be a success.
