“Know Thyself”- is a Greek adage which conveys in a right manner the essence of all living creatures. The concept of self-analysis is the key to undertake any task and if understood seriously and scientifically, can shape one’s career path. It is not just introspection but a scientific approach to analysis of abilities and qualities one possesses by virtue of being a human being. Assessment of mental or psychological attribute such as skill, or ability or a dimension of the personality.
A large number of individuals say for example want to be technocrats but have hardly understood that their ability is governed by a large number of traits. Interest or marks alone don’t convey the whole story. One can venture to become a technician first, and with gradual increase in their mindset, end up being a technocrat. But this task of getting convinced is nothing but having a high attitude to scale the heights.
The herd mentality seen in the career market has undermined many a career today and it is high time that all the stakeholders realise the mistakes committed over the course of last half a century. The scientific approach to master the technique of determining the aptitude of an individual rests on different parameters like ability test, which can further be achievement abilities and aptitude abilities. Testing sometimes is crucial to enable a candidate to make an informed decision. In all these the language (English) versatility, skills of computation and spatial attitude play an important part. In the present day, infotech age, every individual possesses some skill or another. The good for nothing (GFN) attitude is the negative reflection in our society which can have bad consequences for the individual. There needs to be a clear and careful analysis of one’s potential which will open up multiple doors. The set of potentials possessed by an individual have to be graded hierarchically in order to be proficient in any sphere.
One needs to work really hard to learn and develop the basics of a respective ability. Potentials could then be graded by continuous nurturing which can be done by practicing, strengthening the basics and possess mastery in a chosen domain. Aptitude thus can be realised as an asset rather than a liability and in the long run the individual would only excel and never remain mediocre. Thus potential has to be supplemented by hard work at all given times which would then make an individual as a well oiled machine. Thus there is a urgent need to remove the crisis presently facing the young population today by and large of hard work to be fully realised to aim a holistic upgradation of their faculties. The personality profile also has to be fully assessed and analysed.
With determination of proper career avenues effective decision taking will then be fully realised. But ultimately some vitals like the ability of an individual to change, make adjustments and compromise will go along way to clear the path for any individual to scale great altitude. It will never make an individual distressed but enable him to identify the roads which would lead him to his ultimate dream in any optimum manner. The need of the hour for the generation next of our state is to realise their “Aptitude” at the earliest possible in their youth to get a head start to understand themselves in proper light in order to be a productive individual to realise maximum potential of our youngistan.
