20 things somebody should have told me before I turned 20!


1.      Engineering and medicine are not the only professions in the world.
2.      Read books! Books can take you to a different world; it can also make you aware of the world around you in a way you never thought of.
3.      Facebook/Orkut /social networking sites are eventually gonna bore you.
4.      The only thing standing between you and your goal is the bullshit that you hear and agree to when you know you can totally achieve it.
5.      Don’t use shortcuts like k, f9, buhbye! You will end up irritating your colleagues at work if you continue this.
6.      You don’t really need to have a boyfriend/girlfriend because others have one. Be patient, you’ll someday find a perfect match ;)
7.      Be wise while choosing friends, be sure you are not seeing the tip of the iceberg.
8.      Success is different for different people. Try to find out your own definition. When you do, celebrate it!
9.      Marks are important, but they are not a sole measure of your credibility.
10.  That no matter how fast you run. The race is with yourself!
11.  Experience is as important as education.
12.  College is not the end of your education.
13.  Never put your hand under an unfamiliar desk because you might touch someone else’s old chewing gum.
14.  Brands are just tags with funky names on it.
15.  Burning the midnight oil is not to be taken too literally before the exams.
16.  Be nice to yourself. Maybe you don’t realize but you are way better than you think.
17.  Give up worrying about what others think of you.
18.  Memorable journey is not necessarily the perfect journey you planned.
19.  Listen to all genres of music. They will be with you at the times of sorrow or joy.
20.  Enjoy the present. No matter what this time here will never come back.
