There is no excuses of degrees for better career

It was exactly 12 years ago, a 15 years young boy, when I joined my new office saw him. He was unable to speak in proper Hindi, he was just 12th passed but he was very humble and eager to learn new things.

He used to come to me and ask me, Sir  can you teach me computers what you do?, I want to learn that things.

He was not basically from no educational background but I used to explain him small-small things and on that I used to tell him, I need tea from your hand because he used to make a good tea.

He was desperately eager to learn and wanted to do something in his life.  He patiently see everything and learn from everyone and that is the reason he got promoted in the same job as data entry operator.

In one year he proved to be highly skilled in web designing and started creating a good website design.

He used to obey to everyone in the office and respect everyone and that was the reason no one try to stop him what he wanted to do. He used to apply his skill in doing some creative things and started spending time with creative people.

When I met him yesterday I did not recognize him but he asked me and thanks me for what he learnt from us in past and now he is working in reputed organization as an consultant and earning a good salary.

I understand one things, people blame I don't have enough degree that is why I have no good job but I am sure that if you have learning skills, honestly and dedication then college degree won't stop you to get the good job.

There are so many people in the past who has no college degrees i.e. Steve Jobs (Founder of Apple),  Michael Dell (CEO of Dell Computers), Henry Ford (Founder of Ford Motors), Albert Einstein (Rejected from school), Azim Premji (College Dropout), Dhirubhai Ambani (No College degree), Mary Kom (Could not make her schooling), Gautam Adani (College dropout), Walt Disney (School Dropout), Kapil Dev (School Dropout) and there are many more.

So, there is nothing going to stop, if you willing to learn and want to achieve your goal.

Life is a preparation, death is an examination

We participate in so many exams in our life, and get the results as per our preparation for that exams. But most of the exams we have option, whether to attempt it or not? But there is one exam in our life which we may ignore saying we will see when it would come in our life, but we all have to attempt we don't have any choice, whether we are poor,  rich,  educated or illiterate. Srila Prabhupada used to say, this life is our preparation how we are preparing our-self for coming exam.  Because that exam has no prior time table, no time period, no grace marks, and no cheat sheet allowed. And you may be surprise to know, all our activities are recorded by Yamduta for our each and every moments with evidence. Yes, Yamduta will show your answer sheet and you can review it, whether he has marked you in correct way or not? You are successful, if you are passed your exams but if you are failed then you don't know when you will have to reattempt that exam (it could be after 84 laces bir

Depression vs Satisfaction

There are two types of people live in this world, one who live a satisfied life and one who goes into depression when something goes wrong in their life. A satisfied person can stay happy all the time in any circumstances but a person who looks for sense pleasure and thinks sense objects is going to give happiness to me always goes into depression, if he does not get pleasure from an objects or person. And the secret of satisfactions is to see opportunity in every aspects whether it is success or failure. Many of us become happy when we get success but become sad when failure comes in our life. We must remember one thing, in our life success and failure is not going to stay forever with anyone. A very successful person has to face even failure sometimes in his life. A satisfied person knows it very well, that is why he does not goes in to depression for his failure but he learn from it and move on. A very beautiful quotes by Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, "Don't read success stories, yo

Be Humble - Time can change everything

When we get name, fame and power we puffed by the false ego and become arrogant to the people and think no one is greater than me. But our history says, who were arrogant, time has collapsed all of them. None of us can say, I can beat the time and can go against it. We all are under control of Time as Lord Krishna has already stated in the Bhagwad Gita (I am the time and eveything is under my control). But due to our false ego we do not accept this fact become arrogant with other people instead of becoming humble with them. Who was "King of Good times" now became "King of bad times", so easily we can understand time make us King or Beggar. So we should be always being humble with the people in our Good times and take blessings from them for our bad times, but we do exactly opposite of it, we become arrogant in Good times and seek for blessings in our bad times. But what is the use of it, when you hurt someone, you lose sympathy from that person's heart.
