I am 25 now, but when I look back at some of the things I really felt proud of, it makes me wonder was I really that person?
Did I actually pull all that off?

Like getting top ranks in 10th grade, then bouncing back strong in engineering after not doing well in 12th…
Or scoring a Level 2 gold medal in the Maths Olympiad, or winning the taluk-level quiz what not!

I think it all started when I captained the cricket team in 6th standard. There was a tournament for under 7th standard students six teams in total. Five captains were from 7th standard. I was the only one from 6th.
And that gave me a lot of confidence.

Looking back now, man, I was really flamboyant. Damn, I was excellent.

It still makes me wonder how? Even now.

After college, I didn’t join any company immediately. I just believed in myself and joined an embedded course. I positioned myself as a fresher and got into Bosch 8 months after passing out.

And now I’m working in ADAS. I wasn’t really a good engineer in Bosch more of just a coder. But things changed when I started preparing for a new company or rather, after a fight with my technical lead back then at Bosch. That’s when I started learning seriously.

I think I learned many things rapidly.
Some things come very easily to me almost naturally.

Why am I narrating all this in a blog?

Because I want to remind my future self that:

“It was never difficult for me to do something it was difficult to stay focused.”

Once I decide to focus on something it becomes an obsession.
Nobody can stop me from getting what I want.

Once I lock my focus it’s done.

That’s why I’m choosy about many things.
The depth of my consciousness helps me understand things deeply.
I rarely switch between interests. When I commit, I commit.

I’m reminded of a quote from the movie John Wick:

“A man of focus, a man of commitment, and sheer will.”

Same goes for me once I decide, it’s done.
