Its been a year since we left VJTI. I really dont remember the exact date. I thought its time to think about what I learned in this one year.
A lot of things to be honest. I learned to communicate with outside world. I was just too introvert and shy when I left college. I am not claiming that I have changed a lot in that sense. But I think people can tell the difference. This period has also taught me the importance of failure. I just read the speech by J. K. Rowling at Harvard and she is true in every sense possible. I understood to achieve big things you need to start with small steps. There is short cut to success and hey, hard work doesnt mean success. People so often misunderstand that if you work hard then you will succeed. Its not completely wrong. But what makes hard work actually work is the hard work in right direction. Also, there are times when even this doesnt work. I realised that some things are just not in our hand. We can try our best in best direction, but we cant always predict other people's respnse.
One good thing that happened was that I started interacting more with my college freinds than I actually did when I was in college. During Dec'07 and Feb'08 I called so many classmates. It felt really good to talk with them, laugh with them. It seems after college its impossible that we will ever meet each other due time and place constraint but it is also true that we all are just one call away from each other.
There is still a feeling that I could have done better things in this year, but then what has been done cannot be undone. I look forward to a better success next year with more friends and one good guide.
P. S.: Sorry for the bad english and weak sentence structure. Its been long since I wrote a new post.
