Appraisal Time!

Dear Upasana,

Let's meet tomorrow morning at 10:00 AM for your annual appraisal.

Regards,
Boss

:) Does it ring a bell? Does it give you a swirl in your tummy… or a tiny little voice from with in recalling all projects gone live & all the ‘oh damns’gone by in the yr?

I for one, am on the ‘self appraisal mode’…

Am I where I want to be?
Is this want I want from my life? From my career?
Am I heading in the right direction? Not just professionally, but personally as well…

And while thinking about all this, I am beginning to realize that from a college student, who had no clue what career should I choose, I have come a long way where I know what I want from my career, where I have a clear direction about professional growth.

But personally – from a college student who was busy dancing all the time (so much so that I never attended more than 3 classes of some subject I cannot recall! Oops), I haven’t really done much about the things which I really loved.

So besides setting professional targets, it is also important to set personal goals.
Get back to painting, sketching, dancing - whatever you enjoy... Set goals and see how far you have reached.

Ciao for now!
