At least one time in your life you must have felt the feeling of being incompetent. The feeling that you are not performing at your best, that you can do much more than that, that you can be better than this. For some its a feeling that they deal with on a daily basis, with whatever you would ending being fed up. That frustration!

The response of some of the people to this situation is to retreat in there safe zone called as the comfort zone. This sure is a defensive measure but would surely miss you a lot of opportunity to grow and learn and valuable experience which can be gained by trying new things of uncertainty maybe lost.

So ruling the comfort zone solution out, leaves us one solution which keeps us competent, learning and growing and yet at the same time feeling adequate.

The solution is not a magic pill that once you know it you are done, Its something you need to follow at every thing you do and every decision you make. It requires 'DISCIPLINE', a word that many hate but without it things cannot be achieved.

So all the things made clear here is the only quote you need to follow:

"Try not be the best, but do your best"

Don't just read the quote analyse the quote to its depth.
The frustration results from not being able to be the best in your peer group, association or wherever you are. The truth is being the best in the group is not in our hand, there are lot of factors involved and many a times its simply depends on the members of the group.
But what is in over hand is to do our best, to simply do our best.

No matter what activity you want to do let it be sport, studying, accomplishing targets, business, entrepreneurship no matter what it might be, follow the rule of doing your best and I can guarantee it will never let you down.

Hope this article helps to achieve the things you desire, remember this rule and follow it with discipline. As discipline is like filing a metal with each subsequent stroke its get easier paving a way for the next stroke.

Its new years noon while i am writing this post, having mixed feelings at this point. Last year was a hectic year for me, was trampled with studies and pressure of marks for getting admission in good engineering college. As a background i went to a local class and mostly studied on my own. At that time i didn't realise the magnitude of importance of this admission of engineering.

Time went by exams got closer, did my best, anxious wait for the scores to come out. I had a two month vacation after my 12th, but the tension never really washed away. Soon the results came and i had them on my computer screen. Were they bad? were they good? were the question that will immediately come to your mind. But i will not bore you with numbers, it was decent score on the higher spectrum range, simply i scored good (92% in 12th and a decent jee score for the curious ones)

Time for admissions began and after one month of hectic wait and frustration whose detail i will spare, i got my admission in VJTI for electronics engineering.

About my college

Actually it took me half of the semester to know the college itself. Its one of the prestigious colleges of Maharashtra and the oldest in Asia founded by British in 1887 formerly it was known as Victoria Jubilee Technical Institute. It was awarded academic and administrative autonomy in 2004. And since then it has not looked back. Some questions of education standards of VJTI has been raised in the recent years which in will discuss in the future posts.

First Semester

The first semester actually went away in figuring out what engineering is. We had two ISTs which are kind of units and then a final sem. For those who don't know VJTI employs a pointer system, which is nothing but relative grading. For me the first sem was okay, managed to score a decent 9 pointer which i hoped to be above 9, but got stuck at the threshold itself, No worries though.

Vacation / Winter break

Although the best part was to get a 2 month vacation (winter break) after the first set, this was a real vacation i got after the 12th exam as i was no longer tensed of anything. I did really enjoy the 2 months, had really great plans but all the plans ended up on bed with me. We had college fest in this period the first was pratibimb which is a cultural fest of VJTI followed by technovanza which is a technical fest of VJTI. The IIT tech fest and VJTIs technovanza clashed as they were on the same day that is 26,27,28th of december. I think they could have adjusted a compromise as the clash would result in lesser audience on both of the sides. I don't have photos of fest but will make sure to show it to you guys nest time :)

The vacation is now coming to and end with last few days left and starting of college is eminent ( shows my sadness to get back on routine :p )

Anyways this is the journey so far, and now you are on this journey with me too. I would be fun to see how the next years turn out to be. Looking forward to write more posts :)
