Do away with dependency syndrome to get ahead in your career

When every year starts, most people make resolutions. The most common resolutions have to do with career advancement ambitions and targets. Sadly, only a few of us follow through these great intentions and goals we set for ourselves. We end up putting the fate of our careers to the government, our employers, friends, parents, or other relatives. Year in, and year out, we continue with the same trend. This is known as dependency syndrome. Dependency syndrome is a personality trait involving enduring patterns of perceiving, relating, and thinking about one’s environment in a wide range of social and personal contexts. We appreciate that we are social beings and we need each other for survival. However, people should transition from dependency to independence and interdependence for healthy growth. It is essential for anyone who wishes to succeed in life to have a mind of their own.
