You can’t succeed doing something you don’t like
You have to find out what you like
CEOs become CEOs because they are doing what they like (Indra Nooyi, A M Naik, Chandrasekhar, Bill Gates)
Few people know what they like and even fewer are able to do what they like. When you do or do too much of what you don’t like you reduce your Quality of Life
Career Counseling helps you find out what you like and how to do it
Career Counseling helps you in synthesis of Career Growth with Quality of Life
Better Career and Better Life is the goal
