I started to think about my life goals, ambitions etc, during last september when i am planing to app for higher studies. We used to have brainstorming sessions in our room on this topic every now and then, even though i have never reached any conclusion, rather every session will leave me more confused, i have realized that i have taken my first step to think of what i what in my life. One of my broader goal in my life is to serve the humanity, at first i am very unclear of how i am going to do any good to the community being a Software Professional, i thought of contributing towards charity, donations, sponsoring education for some poor children etc. But at the same time i want my contributions to be 100% utilized. Then i felt what i am doing has too little impact, but i have settled on this for now.
Over last few months, i have realized i am already contributing to the community(to a small extent though) by being at google, and working on the success of its great products. Hmm my search quality tweaking helped in improving the search, and hence letting people to find the information they want faster, but what about Orkut? Everything can be argued in both ways, for any social network there will be features that are meant to help community, but all it boils down to one point, given a feature x, how many people are really getting benefit from it and how many people use it a mere tool of time pass and madness. Its very subjective to argue on this, so i am leaving this at this point.
So conclusion of this post is that i am really started thinking of my life now, and instead of accepting things, i am doing what i feel that will help me realizing my dreams, this indeed helped to be more clear on what i want to do, that reduced the gap between my wishes and actions making me lot more happier every moment of my life.
