The post is more about evolution of oneself through course of life and will try and analyze mine if there has been any?? : P...I feel it is very important that we evolve and change constantly mostly for benefit of us and at times even others. There are various rates however, and I guess some people mature very early and some late...
When back in school I was to be bullied quite often and made of fun of at times...probably there were few others who were made more fun of but i was certainly at times one of the bakras...and being introverted and staying at home does not help the cause….seems bad when I think of it...people usually have good memories and say their school day were the golden days..I would not say that but it was not hell either and did have good times...esp. when I got talking and mixing up with everyone during 9th and 10th...when I think of it now I think I handled it pretty well…some people don’t!!....and really the important thing was never took the mocking and embarrassments too seriously…
Then in college and engineering days I feel had lot more fun and really can’t think of much embarrassments...here are there a few maybe: P...but was more or less on the other side..back in school I thought it would be good to be with the less studious people and sit on back benches and pass comments…So in college I did try to emulate them and even in egg….until B.E I realised that pretending to be someone is never going to help….and got back to studying a little more seriously…its quite true as they say-
“The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence…”Now here in US doing my master’s I have actually done both been active in extracurricular activates and also studying…I remember back in school I was to find every possible reason to not be a part of any extra activities and chicken out every time…these two years I have learned a lot….more than what I did in past 18 years..And went wrong at times….made some mistake…had failures…sometimes tasted success…but really if you plot a graph of my growth last few years it should be exponential…I remember from Spiderman when Spidey’s Uncle Ben says-
“These are the years you turn into the person you will be in future. So, be careful what you turn into…”I am “Gemini” according to these they say we got dual personalities…if I think of it may be true…But I don’t believe in astrology and all anyways…I feel it’s very important that we do things which we like doing and also at times things that we may be scared of and never imagine...just once at least...Signing out for now…will end with this Einstein’s quote which I feel is important that we understand in today’s world...
“Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value” – Albert Einstein
