Follow your heart

Never thought that things would take such a drastic turn in a days time...when i left India on 14th September, the job market was quite cool and a day later when i landed in UK, Lehman brothers had declared bankruptcy, US govt was trying to bail out AIG and Lloyd's announced Halifax Takeover...How the heck did these guys came to know that i am searching for a job :)

All said and done, i am sure that things would work out fine...i realise that i am over confident and i am taking a stupid risk in my life but if i do not do this now, when will i get the chance to take such a risky decision again without thinking about all the dependency factors!!! Some well wishers advised me to take back my resignation but i am not going to - i have taken a decision and whatever be the outcome, i wanna go ahead with my decision.

Sometime back i saw a video of Steve Jobs delivering his commencement speeches to Stanford univ graduates . In his speech he mentions about how he dropped out of college, about him taking the calligraphy instructions, etc. Using the above instances from his life, he mentions about connecting the dots looking backwards and about trusting in something - guts, destiny, life, karma and trust that the dots will connect somehow in the future- this will give you the confidence to follow your heart!!!

Guess this is the time to follow my heart :)
