I always used to wonder, can you help change someone? You can say good things, lecture someone of the way of life, how they can fix everything and make their life a rosy path but does it help? Does it have an impact?
I did this all my life. I guess it is my second nature to counsel people and help them to overcome their problems, issues, fears and succeed in what they are doing. I always wanted to become a psychologist. I did read couple of books when I was doing my Master's in Computer Application in India. In fact I decided, if I get a chance to go to US I would pursue a master's in clinical psychology.
12 years later, I am a software engineer by profession. But I did not stop counselling people. Somehow I end up with one or two friends who need help and I end up making them my clients. I help them and I did succeed in helping them understand their issues and getting what they wanted. Some are easy to work with some are a little difficult but I must confess, difficult makes it interesting/challenging.
