So,
I passed out last year, completing my Computer Science engineering. Right now I feel If I'd have dropped out two things would have happened, One Either I'd be at no job after trying so hard or two I'd be doing something meaningful. I can say that because I'm going through one of that right now. And you guys know how they say trust your gut feeling, well its that - i would not be in mediocrity If I'd have dropped out.
The very reason for that is how our education system is. Oh! By the way I'm from India. while we say we are proud Indians, oh yeah damn we are! But not so proudly an Engineer. You see they teach us windows 98 for "the purpose of understanding" , yeah and i'm not kidding.
It has been one whole year this July since I passed out my college and the whole truth about my syllabus is that what ever I learned or tried at least, only mere 5% of it is useful in actual tech world ,Everything else is obsolete!
Anyway I would not blame anyone for how I am today anyway because in the end it is how it is. No one actually cares about how a single being would face the world in it's future, leading to the popular belief "it's you versus everyone".
But if you actually see it thoroughly but,then there is where actual magic lies . In this one year I've tried the ways of the world, I've tried corporate offices, being part of a growing business, freelancing even and I've not gotten anywhere really.
Now the magic is why do it have to be me versus everything else why not me versus something I create for myself, "Me versus me"!
I've learnt many things otherwise which my classmates didn't while they topped the ranks in academics,
One of that being making strong relationships with everyone and fulfilling what I promise.
Here I am today, trying to fulfill one promise I made to myself that I'll start by letting myself loose and experiment until I get success and happiness.
So if you feel me, if you feel your are not going somewhere, if you feel you have to do something bigger than what you did yesterday, if you feel you are suppose to do so much more, if you feel you want to do better, for the sake of yourself , start fighting.
Start fighting your yesterday self and start going forward , it doesn't matter if it's mere a minute part of a centimeter, if it's forward even as little as a step of an ant, it is still forward and never stop until you feel happy , truly happy that you achieved something.
So if you feel me, join me in my start to this journey and let's create something better out of ourselves.
PeaceOut.
