Follow Your Passion
Mr . Naja Faysal was invited to speak in a conference organized by the Cultural Department in Baakline Municipality to inspire young individuals and giving them life lessons that can help them in the future endeavors and guide them in their chosen careers . His speech / presentation goes is hereby displayed :
First of all I ’ d like to thank Mrs . Amal for the opportunity to talk to you today about this very interesting topic . * What do you wanna do with your life ? * What is your purpose ? * Do you have a plan ? * Do you want to pass through life being just a number or you want to leave a legacy ? * What do you want people to say about you when you die ? Complicated ha ? Well , asking these questions is the beginning of a wonderful journey of finding one amazing treasure : Yourself . I hope that my story inspires you somehow to do that .
Before Graduation I grew up in Baakline and as I became a teenager , I quickly got frustrated from the restricted life we live in here in the Shouf -ditrict . I didn ’ t like for example why we don ’ t have cinemas , nightlife , entertainment centers , indoor sports venues .. etc . But “ -frustrtion although quite painful at times , is a very positive and essential part of success ” it gave me the fuel I needed to leave my comfort zone , leave my home , explore , and seek fulfilment . As soon as I graduated high school I insisted to leave the shouf area but my parents thought NDU Deir El Qamar is close to home and safe , So I enrolled there but soon after I broke the chains and moved to the Zouk Mosbeh campus . At university , like most students , I didn ’ t know what I want . Since I liked filming , I registered into Radio / Tv major , then changed to Graphic Design , then to Advertising and Marketing , and maybe -ar ,” I would have changed again , maybe to لو ما العيب والحيا “ chitecture or law . I had this curiosity to discover , which I later realized is one of the most important element in your journey to discovering your passion . Einstein said : “ I have no special talents , I ’ m just passionately curious ” I think you can never know what you want to do or what major to choose unless you have a taste of what is it like . So I encourage you to take courses or work in different fields before settling for a major or a career .. Don ’ t listen to society . Mute all voices around you and ask yourself what is interesting to me ? Think of your childhood , what did you like to play ? Don ’ t let people tell you this major or profession has lots of job offering and that major doesn ’ t , reality is every major can lead you to success if you love it , “ Do what you love , love what you do ” that ’ s the spirit ”.
