Successful People don't Limit Themselves to One Thing


Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla sleeps at 1 AM, but still finds time to read and hit the gym. M S Dhoni is one of the most loved Cricket players in India also plays football. Almost every successful person isn't good at only the thing we know but at some other things too. This might seem strange to normal ones because most of us don't even strive to be successful what we are right now. But why multiple things?

In order to do anything to its best, you need to commit yourself to it. It might be coding, grades or a startup. Once you commit yourself and you start working, no matter what you do, eat, sleep, drive, play, its the only thing that you will be thinking. You want to switch to do it at the very moment itself. But, we are humans and we cannot keep doing the same thing constantly, no matter how much you love it. You would probably hate to gossip either.

It is in these situations that you want to something else. This 'something else' is either your passion or interest. In your leisure time, you'll start doing it. Surprisingly, it helps you in two ways. You feel relaxed and after a few mins you are ready to face your challenge. Also, you benefit the fruit of the other thing you do. Eventually, you'll get good in your secondary choice. You find yourself between these two.

Some do not stop at two. Mark Zuckerberg, runs Facebook, travels a lot, reads many books and learns new languages. This is time and stress management. But remember, you cannot be good at multiple things like these unless you commit yourself to one. Are you committed? Do you have a dream that you are working on? What is the other thing that you do in your leisure time? Is it 'is' or 'are'?

Unfortunately, most of us answer these with 'No'. Why? What are we short of compared to these people? Now, you the one reading this. If your answer is 'No'' to the first two questions, I want you to think and commit yourself to doing something. Spend your time doing it and don't give up. Help is given to those who seek it. Start and you won't regret. Because, once you get a taste of it, you'll never go back. If you don't start, you'll regret knowing that you should have started but you didn't. The ball is in your court.

Tic Tac Amazon

Getting into any department of Amazon can be quite challenging, especially after considering the company's reputation and the competition it has for any role. When the drive happens on campus, the competition would be very limited since all the applicants are the students of the same batch. I'm someone who isn't that great at listening to classes or getting marks. The role offered, requires us to have a good knowledge and understanding of Operating Systems, Computer Networks and Programming. So, how did I crack it? Projects, Mission R&D and proper presentation. Though we have a lot of online tools that would design the resume with appropriate styles, I prefer doing it myself using the word document editor. The centre of attraction on my resume is the projects column cause it is the biggest one with eleven projects on it. No matter whatever role I'm being interviewed for, I've always been asked questions like "How did you find time to do all ...

How I Understood The Importance of Machine Learning?

I was fascinated with technology ever since I can remember. I was curious and knowing something gives me happiness. After 19 years, I didn't lose that interest. I am now a Computer Science student in second year of B.Tech programme. Unlike other students, I always wanted to do something that differentiates me from the rest. I decided to build applications. In my first semester, I did three, two in the next semester and only one in my third semester. All but the last one were nothing but small games. The last one is a Tic Tac Toe. Tic Tac Toe, popularly knows as Noughts and Crosses. The game is played by two players where one of them takes X and other O. The winner is the player who forms three of their symbol consecutively. The speciality of the game is that, if both the players are careful, none can win. There were already games like these and even this one developed by many people. But, I wanted to build one myself, especially where the second player is played by th...
