In our lives sometimes we are wondering “What I really need to do?” in most situations like choosing a career. No wonder most of them are ending up doing nothing or doing something they even don’t like. I’ve been in both of the situations and couldn’t manage to get out of it like I'm waiting for a miracle to happen. Somehow finally I managed to choose something that I really need to do. Yeah, I choose UI/UX designing over other things as my career. So I'm going to share some of my tips to go for a better selection.

  1. Start with things that you are passionate about

We all have a passion. Like it’s something coming deep down from your body. When you are passionate, you don’t have to force yourself to do it. You will spend your time and you will definitely find more time to do something you are passionate even with other works. So prioritize things that you are more like to do and more like to learn and improve and more like to spend your time with. Like I prioritize UI/UX designing over Software Engineering and Quality Engineering. It’s okay if you took much time to prioritize things because of the complicated aspects like salary, time, and stability. Just start to go for what you really like to do from the moment you realized.

2. Talk to someone

It’s very important to talk about the concerns with someone who has a better knowledge and experience to get a better idea about the things that you are going to start. Simply read about their stories, get to know about their first step, ask about how they manage to do it and what types of learning that they have done to improve them. Here, talking to someone doesn't mean to ask their positive or negative opinion about what you have chosen to do. You will only take the push-up you need to go forward. If you want motivation, you can watch others' success stories in finding careers on youtube or any other social platform. You can learn a lot of things by going through someone's path of success in order to create your own success.

3. Be with a Better circle

We are always effected by the people who are around us. So more impoertenly you have to check about your circle. It dosen’t matter you got small or big circle of people, try to choose people who are positively impacted to your things that you need to do. Don’t be with people who always critize your selections and paths that you are passionate about. Instead try to be with someone who has a better understanding about choosing most importent things in life. They will always help you out to prioritize your selections and more importantly help you to understand yourself by highlighting your abilities. Always choose people who introduce new opportunities of learning and improving.

4. Always search for oppertunites and practice

In order to go for some thing you like,you really need to improve day by day. You might have to start things from the level 0. But it dosen’t matter if you are willing to learn and take oppertunites and practice for it. Sometimes you don’t have to born with some special skills or abilities to do things you like. You can be a Pro in that by learning and practicing those skills. So don’t hesitate to take chances and the risk of trying. Always be ready to learn and search new things from anyware or anyone or anyhow to improve yourself to do what you really need to do!

Miracle will happen if you listing to yourself,determine to go for it and achieve it!
