Hello Puja,

maybe it is a about diffrent cultures or different school systems. 

OpenSource development is not driven by

"what should I do?" but by "what do I like to I do?"

What are my personal interests (or the goals of my customer)?

That means, motivation doesn't come from outside but from inside.
When Kasper Skårhøj created TYPO3, he was driven by a personal vision.
Same for Linus Torvalds when creating Linux.

It starts as a sport of brain, but some are able to make their obsession to a profession.

As long as you ask "What should I do?", it is better to join a company, 
to find a chef, who can answer this question.

Just me personal point of view and experiance. :)

Regards

Elmar
