 🧑🏻‍🏫 I clearly remember Goose-Bumps being at Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad 9 years back. I am sure, my friends too had similar experience. We were there to gain insights through Nielsen workshop. However, the best part was to be there.

One cannot do everything in life, due to capability, capacity or certain conditions. And me being extra curious, try to live to the fullest even in smallest moments. As sometimes, there is no harm in enjoying the best from the trailer, when movie is not on the platter. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I used to think, how those students will be, how will be the faculty and the college campus (It reminds me of back to back College/University post which is a mere coincidence 🤦🏻‍♂️ ). Everyone has 24 hours, so how do they make the best of it. The answer was not clear at that time of exploring the IIM horizons. But now i have the answer, if someone reading the post is still doubtful. 𝗪𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗔𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗮𝘂𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 🌎

I still remember 💭 and in the past had regretted many times of not filling the GMAT form and only filled CAT. It was one of my dreams to study from one of the premier college of the world in a foreign country.

It may sound funny to many, but i heard that GMAT form costed Rs.15000 at that time, which was too costly. That was the first reason, i didnt fill. I share most of the things with my dad. But did not told him this. I should have…

Secondly, i did not know what next? What to do if i get the desired score? Where/How will i go? I wont be able to afford the fees and many more queries.
I just needed one push/guidance, that “. 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗶𝘁, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗱𝗼 𝗶𝘁. 𝗛𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘆, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿, 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱.”

🧑🏻‍🎓In my close family, i was the first engineer and no one did MBA. Since engineering i always wanted to pursue MBA. I pushed harder, studied after coming from office and over weekends to pursue it. I did not knew what next?
- But during the 2 years, things fell in place. I knew what next.
- After couple of years of job after MBA, i was like what next?
- Again i got to know what next. It was going abroad. There is a big childhood story behind this as well. May be some other time…
- Since past few years i am thinking what next. In 2021 i got to know what next. But over the years, i have understood, things may take time. Remain patient and work towards your next dream (and meanwhile dont forget to enjoy the Journey 😊 )

I have always been an average student in my lifetime. As far as i remember, after 100/100 in class 3 in social science, I never had the taste of magic 100% ! 🙂

Firstly, i wont say that one shoe will fit all. But you can always gain from other's experiences and find something which would be beneficial for you.

Preparation for PTE, it was full dedicated study over the weekends (being a full time employee and need to have a work life balance).
It was mostly prioritizing:
1) Study and get familiar with each section
2) No Complacency
3) Completed a TV Series in English (which normally i do not watch, as i find them addictive and comes very low in priority for healthy life)
4) Few aspects sounded funny when i started preparing. But practiced as per others experience as well
5) Many more tips which i would add in future videos.

It was my second attempt. In my first attempt, 2 years back, i had scored 75% with one week of preparation along with work during day time.

𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗻 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲. During School or Colleges times i used to think… 💭 Learning and Exams will be over soon, then during job, we will perform our duty. It took few years to digest that Learning is never ending. And some more to make Learning and Examinations a Habit and something to look up to.
🚫Now, if i am not learning anything new for some time, then i get uncomfortable as if something is missing and then take out time to think what should i do next !! (may sound weird)
But, such a drastic change in mindset. May be in genes 🧬

So, i was trying to portray this photograph having one of the many notes written by my Mother. Last week she was preparing for few examinations. I got to know, when she and her colleagues had some issues related to Diksha mobile application. (𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯 𝘐𝘛 𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘺 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘴, 𝘪𝘧 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘧𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘺 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘦𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘏𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘳 𝘚𝘰𝘧𝘵𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘦, 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘢 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭, 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘮 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘣𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘚𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘤𝘩-𝘣𝘰𝘢𝘳𝘥 😀 )

Firstly, i had to guide her over video call to replicate the issues, then to clear the cache (which did not work), then some other way to fix the issue. I must say, She is having a lot of patience and learning curiosity as well. She had to use dad’s mobile with back camera on to show me her own mobile its settings, apps, etc.

Then i tried to read few of the aspects which she was learning. It was not that easy. Also, when she asked few questions such as what is animation. I love to explain aspects using real life examples. But here is was not getting any. As if whatever moves on computer without sound is animation 🤔

Anyways, the main objective of this post through my mom’s example was to highlight #Learning and #Growth #Mindset and moreover, ready to face exam, with Age being just a number. 🔢

💡i believe, it is always better to keep a check on oneself and Learn (Prevention). Rather than wait for Life to Teach a Lesson and make us redundant or obsolete then to get up again (Cure).

I clicked this photograph today and found it so so beautiful (even without any filters). Till the time someone said, “can’t you see the messy ice-cream all over the glass like leftover and its not even scooped out properly” 👀

Little Background:
As i didnt had any ice-cream bowl at home. So as a Jugaad, used wine glass instead. Added few scoops into them and 📸

💬 Spoke to myself:
thats called an ‘awe’ click and gave credits to the mobile camera. Rather than my photography skills, as i felt i didnt do anything 🤷🏻‍♂️ , just pressed the camera button in potraint mode.

Take Away:
Try to find #GOOD in everything personally and professionally. Initially, you may find it unusual. But my friend, if you keep on your #PRACTICE . It will become a #HABIT . You will start finding good in almost everything and remain #HAPPY . What else is more important in Life ⁉️

While concluding, i remeber a video which i created and added to my YouTube Channel on similar context (if you wish to go though it, specially the end part) ⤵️

Keep Trying and Embrace Failures because Success is Inevitable

 9th May 2013 - I was awarded with the Best response by Business Standard !

Looking Back in Time, i remember the day it was published, i was so Happy. It was followed by some monetary reward. Though, it was ₹500 , But it felt like #Gold 🌟

While going through the content and introspecting, i realised:
You Win/Succeed, Not because you are or always have been the Best ❌

Rather:
1️⃣ You Tried your Best many times
2️⃣ You Failed many times
3️⃣ You gained experience meanwhile
4️⃣ You did Not give up
5️⃣ You Succeeded

🍔 Food for Thought 💭
Being Born Brilliant is Awesome. However, Do you really think
- Harvard University picks the Best Student ?
- Google hires the Best Talent ?
- Guinness World Records has the Best on Planet ?

In my opinion, there might be few/many, but rest of us will be just because we #TRIED

Lastly, though it may be a small achievement on a smaller forum. My objective was to portray the larger picture 🛤

Depending on which phase of Life you are in, its said (in generic situations), you can have only 2 of the above 3

As LinkedIn is a platform having professionals, majorly so called Young age. So, i would say:
1️⃣ Children can be taught the #Power of #Knowledge , when they have #TIME and #ENERGY by their side
2️⃣ We Adults must #Prioritise #Work #Life #Balance (Example: i personally talk/listen/spend time for hours with family members. Although the context are mostly random and not #Logical. But for me that quality time is really #Magical . Thus, Healthy mind leads to being productive at work as well 😇 ) .
3️⃣ Take care of Elders. They receive #ENERGY and #Positivity from us

Note: i clicked this photograph of smart watch last month and found it relatable to measuring all the three aspects.
