Airport is a perfect place to experience your feeling. The feelings of going far away from your loved ones make you realize their true importance in your life.
Before boarding my flight, my heart was skipping faster than the top speed of Ferrari. Suddenly, I knew in next few hours my life would change. I would find myself in a completely new world with a completely new different experience. There were millions of thought running in my mind, below are the few ones that I noted down.
- Focus on learning not scoring – Since childhood, I have been told the importance of scoring high marks, I did managed to achieve it but the underlining concept of mugging was wrong. It’s important to score good grades but it’s more important to understand the concept behind them. Note to myself – Learn by doing it, not mugging it.
- Never stop questioning – Until and unless you don’t question, you will never understand it completely, it’s important in life to constantly ask ‘why, what, where, when and which’.
- Network – Everyone talks about importance of networking in the pursuit of getting a job, sometimes we forget networking’s basic principle – networking is about them, not us. Note to myself – meet as many new people with diverse background and different cultures.
- Never lose sight from your goal – American life seems very attractive but I shouldn’t forget the reason why I am here – ‘to excel in my field by gaining knowledge’. Note to myself – Never lose focus on your aim.
- Explore new places – Nothing ever great is achieved by sitting on your coach and waiting for life to knock your door. Note to myself – travel and explore new places.
- Take break for your hobbies – Life will be insanely crazy but it’s important to keep doing what you love and for me it’s sharing my new experience through my blogs, writing new short stories and reading books. Note to myself – keep writing.
- Time Management – We have 24 hours in our day yet at the end of my day, I keep wondering ‘how did 24 hours got finished so quickly’. It’s all about time management and most of the time, we don’t even realize that we waste a lot of our time on Facebook, whatsapp, movies, TV shows and reading articles. Ironically, we always complain we don’t have time but we still find time to update our status. Note to myself – Manage time efficiently.
- Thought Process – When you are living in a different country, you can’t spend your nights worrying about what’s happening during day time to our loved ones. Stay positive and go with the flow. Talk to your love ones despite your busy schedule. Note to myself – keep positive outlook.
Final Note to myself – There will be time when you might intimated by intelligent people, when you feel you are not the smartest in the room, when you are extremely busy finishing your assignments, studying for your mid terms and searching a job, during that time I want you to remember these 3 lines –
- Hang in there & remember “Believe in yourself, and the rest will fall into place. Have faith in your own abilities, work hard, and there is nothing you cannot accomplish”. Be brave & be strong.
- Confidence is the key to success.
- Knowledge is power & focus on knowledge.
