[ Off-Topic ] A ROAD LESS TRAVELLED by

  MY  BACKGROUND : Society: "You are so good in studies. Then why you are choosing Commerce ?" 10th grader me : " I like Commerce more" :) MISCONCEPTION I HAD : "Science students are more successful" REALITY: Few days back, I saw a recent IIT-Bombay graduate asking for any job available since he lost his job due to COVID19 and at the same time many Commerce professionals doing much better ! I have seen my friends in science crying over their choices. I am very happy. Commerce has become my love. I studied it with love and devotion, while my friends in science are crying over their choice. MORAL OF THE STORY : Your stream, your college and society's opinions can never decide your future. You can be an artist making millions and you can be an astronaut earning peanuts. IT DEPENDS ON YOU ! QUALITY OF YOUR WORK. I always thank my 16-yearold-self for my decision. 1) Listen to your Intuition. It's always right. Deep inside your heart knows it all

Girlfriend gives him quick happiness. Trading can give quick profit. ~ He had to commit to his wife for a very long time. Investor expects long term gain. ~ He often leaves his girlfriend when he gets bored. Trader is concerned with profit. ~

6 REASONS why you should QUIT INSTAGRAM right now :

Disclaimer : By quitting I don't mean deleting your Instagram account. It means deactivating. I keep my Instagram deactivated and reactivate it occasionally for 1 week. As per their policy, after reactivation of your account, you can deactivate it only after 1 week.  1)No Endless scrolling - News feed is designed to keep you glued to the screen and you end up scrolling it meaninglessly.   2) No Inferiority complex - we often tend to compare our life's 'behind the scenes' with 'Highlights' of other people's lives and subconsciously envy their perfect lives in their polished pictures.  3) No waiting for those red notifications : Each time I got those cute , little notifications, I used to get those shots of dopamine. That made me so restless for likes,comments and follow request.  4 ) Add value to your life - Instagram practically gave me nothing other than those shots of dopamine and frustration. Do you earn anything on insta ? At LinkedIn provides good net

  1) Be self-dependent . Never depend on anyone for anything. From making your food to using computer, know it all. Don't hesitate to ask for help when necessary, but try your best to learn everything yourself. Independence is power. 2) Never give up . 97% of the people are employed by 3% who never give up.
