So it's time to write my second article and what I came across last week was very interesting question: "What careers suit thalassaemics the best?" Though I don't know there is any specific answer to that. See, I don't think there is anything we cannot do. But the thing here that needs to be discussed is that we should do what makes us happy what keeps our body happy; happy bodies make happy selves. Career is like having your favorite food like some of us love pomegranate, meat, beef, spinach but we know it can affect our health and it works for non-Thalassaemics too but if we really want have our favourite food, we need to take care of other things like chelation and maintenance like if you really want to have junk you have to exercise it out. The key to happiness is always self-awareness. We should never under or over-estimate ourselves irrespective of Thalassaemics or non-Thalassaemics. We should be aware of our mental and physical qualities and constraints both. Our bodies demand more care than others and that's the undeniable fact, so, exerting it beyond a limit can take a toll on health, and it's true for any damn body, it's always good to be ambitious but not deluded. I don't believe in moving out your comfort zone, I believe in expanding it organically, and when we push ourselves to see what we really want, we can achieve it easily. I have seen many humongous talents gone in vain because they exhausted themselves so soon. So, it's all about channelising the right energy into right things and making happiness out of it. You don't need to get out of comfort zone like suddenly. Sometimes it's better to expand it gradually and eventually you will find a new and satisfied place. You are the writer of your story, make it the best one. Our fellow friends have marked their impression in almost every field because they managed themselves, it's just we need to know what our heart wants to do. On professional and academically front, I have done engineering, then masters in footwear designing and now heading a designing department in a children books publications. And if I can be of any help, I am just a message away, shoot your questions. I will be more than happy to share my academic and professional experience with you. I will wait for your views and opinions, and if you like the article kindly do like and share.

GOOD I like to admire the way you did carewr councilling to thal fellows in your article Though for all succesful professions or careers mental n physical efforts are keys to success and in my opinion ,thal people should not choose the career in which it require field work or too much out door activities or travelling or physical hardship like armed forces, police departments or technical departments etc as our majority of thal population belongs to extreme hot regions of the world where in summer tempreture reach to 45 to 50 degree centigrade. I suppose they should select their career in which relatively mental abilities are much required than physical hardship such as in the field of art (writing singing, paiting,acting teaching designing )banking commerce medicals or IT etc.

I'm finding this forum very interesting. It's wonderful to communicate with other thal people. Whenever I'm in a physically demanding job I feel guilty that I can't keep up with my workmates and they'll think I'm lazy. I currently work in aged care as an AIN or personal care worker mainly doing shorter shifts which totally wear me out. If I'm asked to work long shifts I get very anxious and feel overwhelmed at the responsibility and how I'll cope. I'm 53 and have felt my whole life that I'm just not as capable as others. I compare myself to work colleagues who are ten years older but don't seem to struggle like I do. Now when I travel I seem to get ill and am wiped out for the first 24 hours. So maybe thal explains my dizziness & faintness. I'm fed up though with feeling like a zombie or sleep walking everyday. I've only just realised a lot of the population don't constantly feel this way. Zombie like state is my normal.
