Perception a Problem?

The topic refers to the tension, dissever and nervousness the human mind goes through after reaching the dividing roads of life. The perception plays an important role here. Cause the most important criteria of judgement is played by perception in such a situation. But perception is after all perception, it is believed to be right but cannot be ensured. And hence the tension, dissever and nervousness. Its a circle in itself. The more you know, the more you perceive and yet far more your perception changes (in same or other direction).

I often wonder is it only me for whom the perception has such a wide play ground to lurk around? As for me, the perception about few major things have altered drastically. The latest happenings in my life has helped me to evaluate the perpetually altering perception as the basic criteria for selecting the road's crossway.

To let you know about my present state of mind, I am at a junction and need to select a way as means of my livelihood, between Business, Job and Further Education. I am a graduate now, have 1 year full time work experience and belong to a business family. I am lucky to have all the three options healthily available to me. But the divide here is the choice of selection.

Its already been long that I have tried to perceive about the pros and cons of all the three streams. Yet the dilema of confusion persist. More number of people I meet more of personal advice I get, and I am sure you have your own too to pass on to me, but hold on till this one gets over.

I, in order to make the most aware decision, met well settled and highly acclaimed people of my family's social circle of all the fields. And the irony being I found hardly anyone acclaiming his own profession to be superior than the other. An highly earning employed person thinks there's nothing better than own independence and work, while an highly earning businessman suggests the business has evolved a lot and its not as easy in today's competitive world as a professional life. But however slyly the latter accepts that in some aspects its always good to be entrepreneur. But still everyone has his own logic to adjunct the debated topic.

Since childhood I had strong inclination towards job and profession. I remember, in my early school - 1st to 3rd grade, I did not like to say that my father is neither a doctor nor an engineer but a business man. Even till the time I been for graduation, I was so lured with high executive job profiles that I wanted to do my PG from one of the best institution. However, during my grads I got under influence of some learned men from industry, learnt about their experiences - History - the Great Men of Worlds. This affected my school of thoughts and gave me the deviated insight. And finally the entire perception changed. Today looking back I am surprised that its the same me, who looked down upon the business once is all ready to embrace it. Even my work experience of small tenure helped me to build my perception.

Such a major change in perception is still a mystery for me. But however I feel today I am more aware, and has developed the basic anvil of reasoning to make my judgement based on perception. Still whatever the decision that I take, will be based entirely on perception. And more I know, more I perceive. And as here its entirely the new road the only experience at hand is the past record of the role the perception has played in such dilemma-tic situations.

Consequently as without any experience, the entire decision maker is perception the tension, dissever and nervousness continues. It ends only once an unalterable direction is chosen.
