Life advice from ChatGPT
I felt better after this chat
I always have a feeling of not working for my own growth when i am employed. I always feel someone is controlling my life in this IT industry. I became 31 today and I am grateful to write this on my birthday.
I always like to code, learning new trends. As the years are passing by and seeing others make progress in their life, it makes my life looks less progressive. When I try to make progress, I am getting more and more problems and complications. When I discussed this feeling to someone, while discussing I always think in the back of my head, “may be this person is not a right one to discuss about this feeling. Because how would he know about everything related to this”. I think everyone can talk philosophically today. So I am convinced to ask ChatGPT as it is trained with billions and billions of data.
Here is what I asked,
Me:
can you talk philosophy?
ChatGPT:
Certainly! I’d be happy to discuss philosophy with you. Philosophy encompasses a wide range of topics, from metaphysics and epistemology to ethics and political philosophy. Is there a specific branch or topic within philosophy that you’re interested in exploring, or do you have a particular question in mind? Feel free to let me know, and we can delve into a philosophical discussion.
Me:
i am working as a software engineer for a company, but i feel uncertain about future. I dont have a permanent job yet, i am working as an expat in another country. There is a lot of competition in this IT industry and keeping up to technology and learning new things is always a challenge and over whelming. Is this the same for any other jobs like small business or freelancing. Or Is there people who are certain about their future ?
ChatGPT:
It’s not uncommon to feel uncertain about the future, especially in industries like IT that are dynamic and constantly evolving. The rapid pace of technological advancements can indeed be overwhelming, and the need to stay updated with the latest skills and knowledge is a challenge for many professionals in the field.
Uncertainty about job security and the competitive nature of the industry can be stressful. However, it’s important to note that uncertainty is not exclusive to the IT industry. In various professions, individuals may face different forms of uncertainty, whether it’s due to economic factors, market trends, or personal circumstances.
For small business owners or freelancers, while they may have more control over their work, they also face uncertainties such as market fluctuations, client demands, and economic changes. The key is adaptability and resilience.
As for certainty about the future, it’s rare for anyone to have absolute certainty. Life is inherently unpredictable, and factors beyond our control can influence our paths. What many people strive for is a sense of security and confidence in their ability to navigate uncertainties. This often involves continuous learning, adaptability, networking, and a willingness to embrace change.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, consider setting both short-term and long-term goals, both professionally and personally. Keep updating your skills, but also focus on developing transferable skills and a mindset that allows you to adapt to different situations.
It might also be beneficial to speak with mentors or career advisors who can provide guidance based on their experiences. Additionally, taking steps to build a professional network and staying aware of industry trends can enhance your ability to navigate uncertainties.
Remember that you’re not alone in feeling uncertain about the future, and many individuals across various professions share similar concerns. Seeking support and proactively managing your career can contribute to a greater sense of control and confidence.
Cheers ♥️
