Life lessons

People say everything in life has a expiry date. I had no opinion about it until and unless i realized it myself. For instance, let me share with you a life time experience which i have been through. I was in my fourth year of engineering. I always had a plan of pursuing higher studies in US. As i was in fourth year placements was about to begin. I was confused whether to attend placements or not. But then i decided to have a back up option and opted for placements. The placement season began, i dint get selected in the first company. Most of my mates got placed. I was really depressed. When i was facing such hardship my parents were my greatest support. I dint lose hope i kept on trying. Two, three, four and it went on. It was not that i wasn't studying for placements. I answered the best way i can. I know i have done my best. I felt so embarrassing when people who knew nothing was getting selected. I understood standards of the company there.I know that i was far better than them.I forgot that my dream is to pursue my master's in United States. Sometimes when you are too involved in a task and at any cost you want to achieve it you don't give a shit about anything else. I couldn't recognize that i was wasting my time for nothing. After all this one day i realized why i am i behind something which was not my goal? it was my backup option. Then i cleared my mind of whatever happened in the past and pulled up my socks to fulfill my dream. On the whole i want to conclude only one thing never be in a puzzled state. Listen to your inner voice and proceed the same way. If you have the confidence of achieving your dream nothing can come your way.
