Dear all...THIS IS FOR ALL PARENTS AND STUDENTS IN COLLEGES...
Other day a girl came to me...an engg college girl, topper...she said 'sir, i am sad and upset!! (she was crying her heart out!!)...Today one core company came to our college, the most sought after company, dream company of all students. They conduct about 8 rounds of selection process and select about less than 05!!...Though i am the topper i was sent out in the first round itself!!...So, i feel miserable, worthless, rejected and depressed!!'
i asked her...
"At the time of birth, did God or parents or teachers told you to work and study hard to join this X company?"
"No!"
"At the time of joining the college or taking up this course or while working for exams or preparations did you dream to join this company?"
"No!"
"so, it just came on your way during the course of time and you got motivated to attend the interview and get selected, is it right?"
"yes!"
"At the time birth did God tell you that you should make millions on this earth?"
"No!"
"Did all those who made millions on this earth till date ate everything and died?"
"No!"
"Does every one live here for 100 years?"
"No!"
"Topper and the best placed guy can die at 40 and the other can live upto 90 and see more of this earth and enjoy, right?"
"yes!"
"first rank, topper etc can decide only the first job, and not entire life!!
"??"
"first ranker and best placed can flop in profession, family life, social life etc in no time but the average and steady going can win the race in life in all dimensions, right?"
"ya!"
"Remember, there are millions of companies, institutions and research organisations all over the world waiting you to join their team, do you agree?"
"yes!"
"Then why are you sad!!...Just brighten up!!..go to google...go to the website of all colleges and universities in your city, state and country...You will find hundreds of organisations in their placement page...make your resume and upload to all those organisations...Go to google and type 'list of all public sector and government organisations for engineers' or such other search options...you will get the biggggggg list of companies...upload your CV to all these organisations with your GATE score if required...Are you sure that you will get calls from at least few tens of these organisations?"
"yes!"
"Then what...are you not sure that you will get placed in at least few companies?"
"sure!!"
"Then why are you sad?...just get on with google!!"
she felt soooooo happy and relieved!!
"If you are not selected in an interview or at the end of the interview when you are asked "anything you want to ask?" just ask them 'what all things in which i have to improve myself?'...If you are selected in any interview ask them 'What 'learning' value i will achieve in your organisation?'....I am sure you will gain from their answers!!"
"yes sir!!"
"Remember...your birth here is not to make millions, work like a donkey in a job and environment that you don't like, live a tired and frustrated life at the end of the day every day, live in anxiety all the time, live a life full of diseases and ailments of body and mind, and die one day, wasting this precious once in a life time oppurtunity of living and enjoying this beautiful earth!!"
"***"
"Your birth here is to learn...learn and learn...about life, about everything, about engg or medicine or law or arts or whatever you feel like...at every point in life...be with people from whom you will 'learn'...be in organisations where you can 'learn'....be in countries and places where you can 'learn'....be at institutions where you can 'learn'...define your standard of living...if rich and lavish, then you will have to die every day to never live that rich and lavish...others only will enjoy your wealth...so keep it enough to reach your dream places/people/organisations of 'learning'...that is good enough...Learning by definition is a 'process that results in relatively permanent change in behaviour'....If that learning gives you peace, happiness (not pleasure!), good physical-mental-socail well-being, contentment and fulfillment in and of life in long term too, then justtttttt go ahead!!...Don't be like the mad people in this country where politician, religious gurus, rich, poor, educated, uneducated...evvvvvvvery one is in a mad race of making money and wealth...without knowing how much they want!!...Killing them, their lives and lives of others!!...When you take up this journey of Learning, you will 'earn' also enough to be called as rich by others, believe me, and really really live an achieved life, meaningful life, adored by others too!!"
The girl felt sooooooooooooooo happy and relieved!!...I am sure their parents if they heard this will say "What a bloody stupid advice!!...A shit!!"....because all our people really live that shit life only!!...But i am damn sure this girl who takes up the "Journey of Learning" will live a better life than their parents, friends, relatives "those four people about whom their parents fear!!"), successful life, achieved life, rich and posh life and meaningful life too..!!
"earning" is a subset of the universe "Learning"
"the life of others, the normal people, will be a small subset of "Learned" people (not 'educated' people!)"
Peacefully yours...rams...Psychologist!!
