Life's lessons from engineering
My four years in engineering taught me a fair bit about life too. Here's some of them:
- Making mistakes may not be the easiest way to learn something, but these lessons last longest.
- Somebody knows the answer, you only need to ask.
- The sanest people lose all rationality when swayed by emotions. Try not to let your emotions rule you.
- People change. If you can change like them, great- else move on.
- Your efforts will not always be tangibly awarded. The process matters more than the end.
Can someone write 4 years in 5 points??
ReplyDeleteWell....:)
I am still persuing and have so much to write..
I don't think that even 4 books will be enough..:)
Cheers
Nuts
p.s. These points summarises the journey to a great extent..:)
Good... People will now beat me if they read this blog after mine... "Aisa chotta nahi likh sakta tha ?? x-( Aise hi hamara time waste kar diya.. " :) .. keep writing... :)
ReplyDeleteI sort-of disagree with [5]. "End" does matter, but depends on how you look at it. If you are relating it with the prizes/awards et.al then it doesnt. But satisfaction of doing something worth and learning quotient involved does matter at the end !
ReplyDeleteDamn @ Me : I never learn from my mistakes and end up repeating them :-(
P.S: Your blog is very diversified. I would suggest to have more than one but focussed blogs.
@Nipun- Agreed. This is just the content to put on the back cover of the book.
ReplyDelete@Deepak- Thanks :) They can see the demo here and the full version on your blog. :)
@Wiki- Thanks for dropping by :) Satisfaction comes with the process too. Thats what I learned.
@focus- The name of my blog is Kaleidoscope. It means ever changing variety. I dont want to focus it. Thats the whole point!!!
If only it would have been four years, sigh! ^-^
ReplyDeleteMy learning from 4 years of engineering is "Dil pe mat le yaar..." :)
