And she says that her life’s boring because she hangs out with the same 3 people each day doesn’t go clubbing every weekend doesn’t have spontaneous night out plans unlike others who’re her age And i say that she’s making the best use of her “those years” because she has found for herself a small yet real set of people finds time to spend with family spends day and night bringing her passion to reality This comparison takes away the little joys of life. As grandma says, every person’s got different goals in life, so why should their journeys be the same :) LinkedIn LinkedIn for Learning

At the age of 19, I’ve tried my hands at a hell lot of things mugged up 300 pages in 3 days before end sems cold emailed 100 people for internship and eventually landed one went all in for case competitions because of the fear of missing out wrote and presented research papers hosted college events f*cked up some very important interviews successfully cracked some as well travelled abroad alone travelled abroad with family travelled abroad with friends tried cafe hopping and club hopping started a podcast started building a company worked with a national best selling author wrote a book And if there’s one thing I’ve learnt from this all, it’s ‘balance is the key’ If you can learn to balance partying till 1am while still showing up for the gym next morning If you can learn to balance keeping up with the newest show on Netflix while still keeping up with the stock prices If you can learn to balance staying back in college to chill out after events while still maintaining a decent score You will pretty much be able to figure it all out, sooner or later :) LinkedIn LinkedIn for Learning

I was asked this during my interview for Deloitte ‘What were your learnings from your summer internship at Godfrey Phillips India Limited ?’ And we talked about this for the next 10-15 minutes Unlike what the interviewer probably expected, I didn’t talk about the project I worked on, or the tools I learnt. Instead, I talked about how hard it felt to walk up to the department head during lunch break how awkward it was to admit that I didn’t know something, and ask for help and how much confidence I built simply by showing up every day, even for the repetitive tasks My first in-office internship wasn’t really about those excel sheets or company files It was about experiencing the corporate work life, drama and mid-crisis coffee breaks<33 Check out our latest episode - ‘Are internships really worth it?’ https://lnkd.in/gyH3tBrK LinkedIn LinkedIn for Learning
