Life teaches you a lot !!!

I am not still able to understand what I want to do in my life. Shall I work as mining engineer or as an MBA is still incompressible for me? Considering my experience in mining industry I am better suited as a mining engineer but sometimes I feel that I am not a good engineer at all. People invariably say that I possess good analytical skills and I also feel that sometimes but still I have not able to find a place where I can utilize these analytical skills. The type of expectations I had with this company and the perception about it when I joined, there is a huge gap. And I have also learned that this huge Gap cannot be eliminated but it can be minimized.
I need to cajole myself and I have to convince me that i can utilize my skills here and learn new things. I should learn that opportunity never knocks on your door; you have to search it out and snatch from others. This I have learned from when I attended an Interview at Jamshedpur.
When I came here, I had some plans in my mind and a mission to go to Australia. But when it comes to implementation, my lethargic approach towards upgrading myself became a hindrance. I know I am the only person responsible for this .How to overcome this lethargy is still unfathomable for me. Probably my attitude towards work is changed. I am becoming more and more reserved type and started hating parties and public gatherings. Probably this is due to the period of mental trauma and stress level I had in my last company.
The good thing about this new job is my working hour has reduced drastically and I can maintain my work life balance. Regarding the type of profile I got here is way better than what I had in my last organization.
I have got plenty of time for me to upgrade myself. Although my salary is reduced by almost 30% but comparing necessary expenses in Calcutta with other metros the impact on my wallet is considerably less.
I think I have to relook my strategy for my mission Australia and I have to work accordingly and achieve my objective. By this blog I am just asking my friends to suggest a practical way to overcome the habit of procrastination. Please don’t give any Global Gyan, its available on internet.
