opportunities.....and you

Never before i have realized the meaning of this word "opportunity". Or it may be because never before i have been stuck in such a situation where you have number of roads waiting to be followed and you have to decide the one. It is very much true that it's depends on your choice, your dream of future in academics. But what will happen when educational dream as well as your personal real life dream "contrasting to your first one" come in the way of each other. Of all many of the opportunities are good for you but you have to choose the one that best suits your needs satisfying both the dreams up to some extent or you can follow one among the twos neglecting the second. Talking of a situation where to be with your gf you have to choose the job out of the two opportunity of joining the job or joining the iim. It looks ridiculous that you are leaving the IIM and joining the job, but here comes the real decision making capability out of all the opportunities available to you as well as discovering new one that best suits your need. You can either take a chance on yourself that if i am capable of clearing the iim once i can do it twice "the next year" or you can look for other fiels like administrative services. It seems very depressing that you are choosing UPSC over IIMs but it all depends upon your will as well as on your self motivation towards the newer and the better one. And you are doing all this to your (never know whether he\she is faithful enough) soulmate. But you know life is about taking chances of which we indians are not good in. I am doing the same, betting on my abilities and determination.
