Rejections

-

Uhm well it's placement season and people are getting upset with rejections, but as a wise man in told once in a Ted talk on rejections. It's more important to ask why you were rejected and correct yourself than to take it personally and do nothing about it. Sometimes there maybe a point in being rejected and the best people always learn their lessons.
So take rejections as an opportunity to improve ourselves by asking why and make the corrections to reach the global optima instead of being happy at staying at some local optima.

    I know you are miles ahead of me in every thing you do, but I just didn't see the local and global optima thing coming!!!

    For the future me who is reading this after some years from when it was written, let me reemphasize what's the excitement is all about!

    I obviously had no time to go through Matty's great blog in the time between travelling to college, getting rejected and returning back home. So Obviously I had no clue of this post until now.

    And 16 days later after he posted this, I got placed and posted a whatsapp status that read something like, "I have reached local optima and I wish we reach global optima as a class"!!

    And less than a week after that, I read this post!!

    You don't have to be a genius to figure out that the great Matty is well ahead of people of his time or atleast me!!

Priority Inversion

-
Life is all about priorities and which we give the highest amount of value to. Priorities keep changing, but sometimes we misplace our priorities and that's when troubles happen. Sometimes thrill of overspeeding and reckless driving supersedes all other things and takes all the priority, but in hindsight we realise that after that spur of the moment that maybe, it wasn't worth that risk after all.    The key takeaway I want you to have from this very crudely put together post is please wear that helmet and fasten your seat belts and don't let the throttle control you, let your rational thinking control it, be safe and keep others safe. Your life is more valuable than the thing you're rushing to.

Yet another post

Another hectic day with almost no time to compose a proper post 😐. Anyway here goes nothing. Patience and forgiveness are two were underrated virtues. It makes the world a better place and man a human and kind person. Forgiveness and kindness go hand in hand, you don't have to go and make huge acts of charity everyday. It could start with simple things like, letting that person cut in front of you because he is stuck behind another vehicle, maybe he actually has a very important reason for being in a hurry. You may think that I'm not an idiot to let everyone get in my way and that although completely understandable doesn't help to make this world a little bit better, instead letting other person go wouldn't hamper your journey a lot while it will most likely put a smile on the other person's face  and may even make his day. Try doing random acts of generosity and smile. Make the world a better place once person at a time.

Sleep deprived to give this a proper title :P

If everything was perfect, we wouldn't have a story to tell, would we? And physics wise we wouldn't even be here because the imperfect distribution of the matter after big bang led to formation of the stars and dust clouds. So maybe that's why imperfect is better than perfect. Cause scars maybe ugly on the scars, it's beautiful when you dig deep.
