Essay on Your Aim in Life Complete Essay for Class 10, Class 12

and Graduation and other classes.

Everybody should have an aim or an ambition in life. There are, however
some persons who do not plan their careers. They have no aim in life.
Those who have no aim in life are like a ship without a rudder or an
envelope without an address. They are tossed to and fro by circumstances.
They complain of hard times and blame their fate. It is no wonder that they
cut a sorry figure in the battle of life. While deciding our aim or choosing a
career, we have to hope for the best and get prepared for the worst. We
must have some aim or ambition in life and should leave no stone unturned
to achieve it.
Different people have different aims. Some persons want to
become doctors while others want to start business. If law appeals, to some,
army has attraction for others. Some aim at becoming a teacher while social
service or politics attracts others. So different people adopt different aims
according to their inclination or taste or pocket. It is the duty of the parents
and the teachers to persuade their wards to choose a profession according to
their aptitude. Right aim means right life and wrong aim means a wrong life.
So, we should be very cautions while deciding our aim. Perhaps the most
difficult problem that a young man faces is the choice of a profession. If a
person does not choose his aim rightly, he will be a square peg in a round
hole. The best profession would be one in which an individual feels at home
and can do something worth- while and which, at the same time, assures him
of good prospects in life.
There are various professions. I do not want to take a leap in the
dark. I know that success in life depends upon the well-planned aim. Law
and business may have charm for others, but they have no attraction for
me. Business needs a huge amount of money which I do not have.
My aim, however, is to be a teacher. Teaching is the noblest form
of profession. It is like killing two birds with one stone. A teacher can earn
an honest and independent living. He can serve his society and country in
the best possible way. He is a nation-builder. He can mould the destiny,
shape the future and can ennoble the minds of the students who are the
wealth, pride and future of the country. In a democracy where every adult is
a voter, education is of utmost importance. A teacher alone can impart the
right type of education and make the students ideal citizens. He can

inculcate refined qualities in the young minds and create patriotic fervor in
them. If teachers are efficient and serve as torch-bearers to the students,
our democracy will have a bright future.
I know that teachers in these days are ill-paid and can hardly make
both ends meet. But money is not the only consideration with me. He lives
among the smiling faces and young hearts. So, he neither become old nor
feels sad or serious.
I will create a family atmosphere in the school and will teach my
students as Gurus did in ancient times. May God inspire me to be what I
have decided to be!
Teaching: The Most Noble Profession
I just heard from a friend of mine, a middle school teacher in Wisconsin. She
is an extraordinary educator, one of the most innovative, inspiring,
dedicated, passionate, successful, loving and beloved teachers I have ever
met. I only wish Id had a single teacher during middle and high school as
good as she is. She has been attending rallies at the Capital and reported
that the state and future of education in Wisconsin are looking very bleak,
and that it was wearing her down.
She missed the teachers convention last week for the first time in 10 years.
Her heart just wasnt moved to want to improve herself or the profession. In
fact, she said with sadness, if the job market were better, shed probably be
looking. She wondered how to stay hopeful and positive when the state she
was born and raised in seemed to be crumbling around her. She could have
said a lot more but had to get back to work because a couple of students had
come to her for some help (during her lunch break).
It is a scary thing to imagine that we are driving out the very best teachers
like her. If this happens, the situation for our future really does become
bleak. I encouraged her to remember what drew her to education, to
remember who she is and why she does this work that, right now, seems
thankless, but which is, above all else, the key to a better world. I told her
that one governor and a climate of rhetoric cannot be overturned and
changed without people who think deeply and innovatively to solve
problems, and if she stopped preparing those thinkers and change agents of
the future, then who would do this great work? I asked her to remember
people like Martin Luther King, Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi and Wangari Maathai
and Aung San Suu Kyi and the forces arrayed against them that they
struggled (and struggle) to topple against all odds.

My hope is that she will fight with all her heart and soul to teach with her
passion intact no matter what systems around her seem intractable and no
matter what happens in the Wisconsin Capital. We need her our future
needs her now more than ever.
In college a friend in medical school told me that he thought that medicine
was the most noble profession. It was a strange statement, really, and quite
provocative. I wondered at the time, can any profession be the most noble? I
ruminated on it for a long time, and now, thirty years later, I feel ready to
respond. If pressed to name the most noble profession, I would not hesitate
to say teaching.
Teachers are the agents of the future. Will our world be populated by people
ready and able to meet that future as creative and critical thinkers; as wise,
compassionate and knowledgeable citizens; as skilled and motivated
solutionaries within their professions? The answer to this question lies with
teachers. More than any other profession, teaching has the power to create a
healthy, just, and peaceful world (or not). It has the ability to seed our
society with informed, caring and engaged citizens (or not). It has the
capacity to inspire lifelong learning and a passion for knowledge,
understanding, and innovation (or not). Is there anything more important
than this?
Yet here we are with the media and elected officials lambasting Wisconsin
teachers and decrying their huge salaries. Yes, their huge salaries, which the
media have been reporting as, on average, $51K/year with benefits (good
pensions and health insurance). We see middle class people pitted against
each other (as in: Public school teachers are paid so much more than their
non-union private sector counterparts!) Are these news reporters and
government officials comparing public school (union) teachers with private
school (non-union) teachers, which might be the only valid comparison? No.
They are comparing public school teachers to the average worker in
America.
Imagine if we had a public healthcare system like Canada does. Doctors
there make, on average, over $200K/year. Thats well above the average
worker in Canada. Are those doctors greedy and selfish? Why do they get
paid this much with citizens tax dollars? They are paid well above the
average worker because as a society, Canada thinks they deserve it.
Because who would become a doctor if they werent well compensated for
their time and preparation and responsibility? Because if you want good
healthcare from competent and highly trained professionals, it costs money.
Given that I believe that teaching may well be the profession with the
greatest responsibility and require the truly best and brightest, wisest and
most motivated, most creative and compassionate people, the argument

that teachers are overpaid because they make more than the average
worker is not only absurb, it is also dangerous. We rightly decry bad
teachers in our schools, and I am the first to agree that bad teachers are
overpaid. I think theyre overpaid if they they make $30K/year. They should
be fired, period, just as incompetent doctors are stripped of their licenses.
But we are now doing the opposite of promoting master teaching and
reducing poor teaching. Instead of seeding our schools with great teachers,
many of the most creative and brilliant educators are leaving a field laden
with bureaucracy, rote memorization for standardized bubble tests,
increased classroom size, and now the insulting commentary from a public
that wants to reduce their already inadequate wages and which seems to
have forgotten who it is who has the grave responsibility of educating our
children. The best teachers are fed up, and many are deciding to take their
talents and skills elsewhere, where theyll not only get paid more but where
their intelligence and creativity will also be respected and rewarded. This is
the great irony and tragedy of the discussion were having through the
media, launched by the protests in Wisconsin against a governor trying to
bust the unions. We say we want to fix the educational system, which indeed
needs an overhaul not just repair, but by denigrating the profession and
claiming that $51K/year plus good benefits is excessive, we are doing the
opposite of creating better schools for our kids.
The truth is that we pay great teachers far less than they are worth. The
master teachers out there, the ones who provide their students with the
knowledge they truly need, the critical and creative thinking skills without
which our future is so uncertain, the capacity for reason, research and
thoughtfulness that will make them, among other things, able to parse
ridiculous rhetoric and sound-bites and reject and refute them with clarity
and kindness, and the passion for lifelong learning in a world changing so
rapidly and so in need of positive solutions, should be paid as much as
radiologists and orthopedists. Fortunately, given the state of our economy,
great teachers are willing to work for what amounts to a pittance given their
talent and responsibility. And we are trying to deny them this. How ignoble is
that?
Your Aim of Life Or Your Plans For Future
An aimless life is practically no life. A man without aim is like a ship without a
rudder or an engine without steam. His ambition puts him into action. We
must there have some definite aim in life that is, we must choose a
profession. One who choose no profession passes an unhappy life.
The right choise of a profession is very necessary. Right chise is the key to
success in life. The question of choosing a profession was not very serious in
the past. The son generally followed the profession of his father. It is not

possible now. Times have changed. Talents and tastes differ. Every profession
cannot suit everyone. So while choosing a profession , we should keep in
mind the natural taste, physical fitness, opinion and guidance of teachers,
elders and parents, economic condition of the family and the future
prospects in the profession.
Everyone , no matter how rich or poor, old or young , intelligent or
dulldreams of a rich future life. Some wish to become leaders, some desire to
achieve power over nature and some dream of high position. Keeping in the
factors for right choice, I, too, have my own ambition.
I wish to be a doctor. My choice is according to my taste and talent. My
family traditions also go in favour of my choice. In this profession, there is a
great field for service. The doctor is second to none for the sick persone.
Secondly, this profession is an independent one. A doctor gives his time,
energy and skill in curing the sick. From the very bignning I dreamed to
searve the poor people of my my town. This profession of my liking will give
me enough chance for service. I want me to be an ideal doctor. Some doctors
care more for their gain and less for their patients. They dream of a
bungalow, a car and other luxurious of life. I will keep away all such things
from my mind. I shall give free medicine to the patients who are poor and
needy. My aim will be speedy recovery of my patients.
It is neither for money nor for high position that I wish to become a doctor. It
is something nobler than these. It is my wish to serve my fellow beings. I am
sure of success as a doctor. Sincerity and devotion will be my guiding factors.
May God fulfil my aspirations.
