New game, New rules

The teenager years of our life brings us lot of goody packages. at the age of 16 we are officially approved to drive a vehicle, then we drive the bike to enter college at the age of 17, after a year we are allowed to cast our 1st vote. In following years many of us have their 1st i love you proposal, mostly girls of course. and just when think you can not get enough of your passionate college life and friends, there it is, At the age of 21, the opportunity you have been waiting for. knock, knock....who is it? Its the million dollar paper, The offer letter. Thus begins the process of most talked about transformation from jeans and T-shirt to ironed formals, from a college desk to a bench, form a classroom to a cubical, from every day's Sunday format to tight 9-6 schedule, the transformation of a student into a professional.

I still remember the first day at MIT, lot of things were uncertain. but i knew that when i will graduate from this renowned institution, i will have a degree and an offer letter from a reputed firm with a healthy salary. now most of those things have come true, although one can never be satisfied with the salary part. when asked by an interviewer about our long term goals most of us must have said i want to be a team leader by the age i m 30. well, does any one us know how to get there? And am sure you wont get the answer the way we get it to 99% of our questions, google it. And of course the over smart pundits of our class, they will tell you how to influence the people around you and sneak through to fool the system, but my friends its not the dumb college internet firewall anymore,its the world where you are useful not by your skills but only by your contribution. The promotion to the upper class is not mandatory, the world where you can not carry your backlogs to the future, but you must pass them at each step with flying colors. There are no friends anymore, now they are your competition. the world where each sentence with a CAN will be replaced with a MUST. the world where your potential and your future will not be decided by hard work you do but by the your ability to make decisions and your persistence to support them.

until now we have seen ourselves as a learner segment of the system. we were taught, we were guided, we were build to be a part of creditable and responsible society. now the construction is complete, new batch of young and aspirant men is ready. all those moral, social and curriculum values which were imparted on us in the course of 20 years, now is the time to prove yourself worthy and use them for welfare of the people. its the payback time. for every language you learned, every circuit you have build, every project that u have completed working for countless sleepless nights now is the time to create something big for which generations will be thankful for and then you will say, yes i build that. there are no books now, no bounded syllabus its the world where you can define things as you want to. you can shape them as you would like to. so, ignite your mind fellows, let your imaginations fly, fortune's smiling upon you, grab it and live it.

we had our curriculum backing us all the time throughout our academic career. now, there are no marks, there are no grades. all the high scores and distinction you got are nothing but a just a preliminary criteria. when you will join the company there will be no difference between a topper and an average student. once you have entered in a professional organisation your college, university are merely irrelevant. so, before you step into a world with only one rule, only the strong ones survive ,buckle up boys. ready your guns, the game RESTARTS!
