The key to excellent performance is finding the match between your talents and your role.
Unfortunately more often than not many of us miss this mark. We hardly pick our majors based on our passions or talents. Speaking strictly as a Nigerian, I presume this is true more so with us because we are raised to choose our majors/careers based on monetary gains or moreover based primarily on favorable status acquisition.
My goal of starting this blog is to, with comments received, come up with a resolution to this problem. I believe it is critical that we solve this problem. If not for this problem we won't have majority of people going to work everyday and claiming that they can't stand their job. I believe that if people are passionate about what they do, they would enjoy getting up for work daily. For example in Nigeria there are a lot of people with Medical degrees who hate what they do and if asked why they went through such rigor their likely answer would be because it made my parents proud or some other flimsy answer, instead of because they love what they do.
I would appreciate as many comments as possible, and please feel free to share personal experiences with regards to this issue, you can stay anonymous. Thanks in advance. I would endeavor to put up posts periodically, that would stimulate your comments on this subject. Lets collectively solve this problem together so that our children won't have to deal with it. Resolution of this matter would inevitably help in creating a more productive/brighter future.
