INTELLENIT DENIQUE QUANDO VADIS?? Most of you might be thinking that this title is sounding like Greek or Latin .yes, it is in Latin which means that finally I realised so when are you going to? This article is about my pre assumed “ideas” and its deleterious effects .If I am not wrong these “ideas” spring up at every one of us at one point or the other in our life. I was always under the impression that i am no where in the world as I didnt have any prestigious university’s tag attached after my degree.(BTech IIT/MBA IIM etc etc)long list to go. So I decided to find a place in this world with my misconception and began my journey for “the prestigious tag”. And thus began “my journey” by joining coaching classes for various management entrances. Yes I took up coaching and I was done with my entrance exams( At last!!!!)Finally the “R-day( R-day =result day as suggested by my friend)arrived and my condition was pathetic(as with most of us) .All kinds of negativity began to creep inside me and it might sound too exaggerating for you guys but believe me I felt as if I was encircled by a python( or may be an anaconda) .I lost my spirit and courage and was totally turned into a pessimist.I started accounting to the time, money and all kinds of sacrifices I had to make to get what I wanted but still I could not get what I wanted.I was sucked in the pool of negativity totally. Few weeks passed by and I was trying to come out of my frustrations. Remember guys nobody will help you unless you start helping yourself. So I decided to motivate myself and one day I came across an award function which was being telecasted in one of the news channels in which DR.Venkataraman Ramakrishnan(2009 nobel laurete for chemistry) was giving a speech and that pushed my “preassumed ideas” and misconceptions far away. That was what which pushed me to write this .In his speech he mentioned that he did not hold any degree from any prestigious universities and he also mentioned that “ you should pursue your dreams but at the same time keep your options open in case of set backs”and this made me think about my “ideas”. It is our passion, inner talent that takes us far but not just the prestigious university degrees . so guys I stopped worrying and told myself that it is ok if I didnt clear any of the entrances (management/engineering/medical) and I promised myself that I will always keep my spirits lightened up and I will never quench my thirst for knowledge.SO FINALLY I REALISED …WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO???
