Being a student

Being a student is not an occupation, any title, or any profession but it's an honor that we are all blessed with, it is the most wonderful and magnificent journey that will last forever. It's a journey of learning, failing, and growing. It’s a perpetual journey. And to be a part of this splendid journey setting goals is not enough rather it’s more important to focus on your behavior and actions because that’s what we have in our control.

And if we desire to continue this journey, it is imperative to embrace our imperfections, accept who we are, and accept the fact that no one is perfect, and yet everyone is in the process of learning something that they desire. Surround yourself with those people who acknowledge your creativity and express yourself to those mentors who you think can make you a better person for tomorrow.

You think you are a loser and failure only when you compare yourself with others, when you start to marginalize yourself with lower grades, and most importantly when you think grades, ranks or positions are the only represents for your credibility, success, and capability.

When you fail in any subject, stop thinking: "if it did not earn me points then what was the point", because what can be achieved by experience can never be gained by grades. It’s when you fail you realize the importance and glory of your destination, that’s where the anticipation and curiosity begin. Consider failing as a chance granted to you for improvement never let failure decide your future, never let failure discourage your potential, never let failure to stop you from growing, never let failure to doubt your capability and ability. Keep yourself open for reviews and judgments but never let those reviews and judgments take over your progress. Using others opinion to improve yourself is different than empowering those opinions on your progress.

Progress is not only about succeeding at once, don’t marginalize progress. Trying and failing is progress, coming up with a few wrong ideas in order to find the right one is progress, realizing what you did wrong is progress, apologizing is progress. So don’t give up. Progress is where you are better than your yesterday, progress is where there is a minuscule amount of improvement in yourself.

We will remain to procrastinate, if we still believe in a "one size fits all" culture, because we are not the same, even though we are all part of the same journey but it does define that we all have the same path to follow. And no doubt we are all blessed with something incredible, something that is new for others. Everyone here is creative in their way and that way is not bound to match with others. Never put yourself in doubt with someone else’s achievements, such achievements might seem admirable but it is a way of foolishness to consider yourself down by comparing your achievements with someone else’s. Work for your goals and dreams, be thoughtful, keep yourself engage, keep growing, nothing remains same nothing remains forever, yet everything has to pass so why not pass it with honor.

The world is not the way that it is, the world is the way we have created it. It’s us who have shaped this world, it’s us who make history, it’s us who make rules, and it will be us who will change this world, and to bring the change we need to begin from ourselves first. We all are elements of this world so why do we fear failing, or falling, instead considering it as a chance of improving and growing? Remember "the top of one mountain is the bottom of the next, so never stop climbing".
