As a 20 year old who's 75% through with his bachelors, you'd be justified to expect a decent amount of career oriented clarity in me. Well, I request you not to. In fact, I suggest you don't expect that from anyone my age in my position! You're asking me why?? Let me tell you a funny story:
Once upon a time, there was a young boy. He never had worn shoes; till the day came when his eyes suddenly looked down. His head fell and he realized every one of his friends wore shoes. Though there were some tailored shoes, most of them wore a single type of shoe : the slip-on. He asked them where they got the shoes and they said they earned enough to buy themselves shoes. So, our young hero told his parents that he wanted shoes. His parents asked him what type of shoes he wanted. And off the top of his mind, he told them he wanted slip-ons.
And so, his parents told him they'd come with him and pick a slip-on for which they were ready to pay. But our hero was not the kind who wanted to be special. He also wanted to earn for the shoes like his friends had. So, he worked: Hard enough one would say, enough to buy a decent pair of slip-on shoes.
Excitedly, he went with his parents to the store and bought a new pair of shoes with his own money. His parents were proud of their son. He wore the shoes and they felt awesome! A week passed by, the shoes lost a bit of their shine because he wore them day in and day out. One more week passed by and they became quite loose for him. The third week passed by and they started biting his feet when he wore them and started flying off when he walked with them. He was sure he couldn't use them anymore!
So, here is our hero, at the end of the third week, confused as to what he'd do with his shoes. The slip-ons have become very uncomfortable! But he can't just walk bare foot anymore! He needs shoes. And here he is, in a wide world of choice. Which one will he choose?! The only thing he knows for now is that slip-ons aren't his type of shoes.
Well, his parents are still ready to pay for new shoes, but which one should he get? The same type of shoes that his father wears maybe?! I think we've got to wait to see what he does.. For now, he's got his eyes on those really shiny ones though, the ones worn in HOLLYWOOD! :D :D he thinks they suit him! ;)

so nw he has to wait another odd 365 days to visit the shop wherein those shoes r been sold :D.... nice one da..
I wonder if the boy wants to try out his dads shoes.
The boy should choose the pen instead of the shoe.
whatever it is try.. everything is an experience.. Nothing is bad or good.. IMO, let our hero be a hero in trying those shoes which look shiny(for now). But the most important point is whether our Hero will continue to be a hero by keeping his shoes shine and clean!
my fav lines for our hero!
