 The part we all lack.

Your Mistakes

It is not that you lack doing mistakes. We do hundreds of mistakes every single day. We all lack the part of accepting the mistakes. The moment you realize that the situation didn't go as you've planned, your brain starts analyzing the decisions taken by everyone around you and picks the mistakes to the minute detail. The very point we miss is, whatever happens in our life is due to the actions we make, at least to some extent. The moment you change these actions, the outcome differs by a mile, cause you are the only one who could make such a huge impact on your life. This is complicated to understand just through words. Let's take an example.

A couple of days ago, I got a call from a stranger stating that they need A- blood for one of their relative's surgery. I've told him that it had only been a month since I've recovered from COVID and asked him to get it confirmed that I can donate. The next day, he called me to inform me that I can. So, went to the hospital he had mentioned. The person in charge of the Blood Bank asked me some basic questions, to which I've also said him about my COVID recovery. He had clearly mentioned that a COVID recovered patient cannot donate blood for 3 months. I was pissed that very moment, not on the person in front of me, but on the guy who had confirmed that I'm eligible to donate. If he had got the information correctly, there would not have been any waste of my time. I have every right to blame him until the realization. I've realized that it was my mistake. I could've done a bit of research on it and could've known about it way before. This might have helped to save my time, and also the patient's relatives time to search for another donor. It could've been a win-win, but it's a loss for both now as I thought that it is their duty to get the information.

If I kept blaming him for what had happened, I would've been in a state of Superiority ad never learn to look at my mistakes. Finding your own mistakes is tough, cause your pride never accepts that you are wrong. Overcoming that sense of Superiority opens up your way of thinking and eventually helps you in making fewer mistakes.

How to do it in every situation? is the main question. The only thing you could do is, eliminate others from the analysis and concentrate on your mistakes alone. Also, think about the alternate outcomes for every single decision you could've taken a bit differently. Regret fills-in. That's fine. Cause, the moment you know all the better decisions which you could've taken, a sense of relief emerges, You now know which decision to make if the same situation arises.

Today's content is provided by one of my BTech friends, Prathibha. Have a look at today's blog from a girl's perspective. I thank Prathibha for supporting the project. Invisible Pressure Our generation of students seems to be having fun and enjoying life, but we too are under the constant pressure of planning our next step. This has been way too much to handle and is leading to frustration for the masses. If you are a girl and you get a job, you are put on a schedule. Plan for marriage, then kids, then their education, and back to the start of their marriage. If you are a boy and you get a job, that very moment you'll have to take up the whole responsibility of family and handle everything as fast as possible. These pressures are building up in our minds and bring out either Bad results or A lot of frustation. We do understand the reason for our parents creating this schedule of life, but we all need some time to adjust. We only need a couple of things. Responsibilities...

Spending money is hell lot complicated than what I thought of it in my childhood. Every time I pull out some money from my pocket, I think whether to spend them or not, and I think even more after spending them. Planning to spend those bucks was very hard for me. The following two people helped me a lot on where to spend and where to save. Rohit Neelakantham Rohit Neelakantham      I met him at Idealabs. I knew him for about 4 days. We both were travelling in his car. As you all know, I just keep talking all the time. I asked him about his job and stuff. Then, I started asking about his car (Ford Ecosport #dreamcar). He was like, "I used to teach tuitions in my college days. I saved all that money and paid downpayment for this car which was around ₹.2 lakh." I was like, "Holy shit! You saved 2 lakhs from the fee you got from tuitions." He replied, "Yes. It probably took years, but I did save. I always had a dream of buying a car with my own money, an...

THE Journey

Lets read a story You with two of your friends who stay at Bangalore planned for a trip to Coorg. You have been planning it for a really long time, but schedules weren't supporting. At last, you three found time for an awesome destination. Three of you started at 5'o clock in the morning. On your car, way to Coorg. Weather was a bit windy, but you three were excited. After travelling one third of the distance, it started drizzling. Halfway point, it is raining now. Three of you have no thought of returning. You will complete this trip at any cost. You reach the destination and it's raining heavily. Took a room in a hotel, slept for the night. As you woke up in the morning, it is a thunderstorm out there. Whole day, you three weren't even able to go out of the hotel. So, you stayed till evening with some hope to visit at least a fraction of Coorg. Nope! Not happening. Whole day, it rained like it hasn't rained in years.  Successive day, early in the morning, ...
