18 Things I learned in 18 years

🌸26/07/2023... so today is the day I turned 18. Nothing special but here I am sharing 18 things I learnt while I turned 18. This is not just for content but things I truly consider. Things that would stay with me forever. I have tried to elaborate to make myself clearer what deeply within I feel.


1. Self-doubt is greatest enemy 
Doubting yourself is no good. It is disrespect to people who believe in you.
 
2. Teenage is terrible, yet the loveliest phase.
In this phase you will feel you fit nowhere, hormonal changes, and what not. Yet you will enjoy every moment the most. This is the teenage life. ✨
The friendship you make in teenage, will always stay with you.

3. You alone don't have problems.
Be it overthinking or failure or feeling of having stuck at some point. This is not just you, but everyone's life. Do not worry this phase will pass very soon. 🤞😇

4. You have generation gap with your parents.
There will be times when you and your parents don't agree at the same point. But trust me this is just generation gap. Understand and accept their perspective. I know they will have an another way, but they want you to be happy. 

5. Everything happens twice in life.
Yes, you read it right. Good or bad, success or setback happens twice. First in your mind and then in reality. 

6. You are what you think not others.
You do not have to be what other think you are.
Be the way you are. I know this is we all have heard. But don't you think of people review when you get dressed. You can also dress for yourself. 

7. We can never be in everyone's good books.
Everyone have their own point of view. It is not necessary that we fit in everyone's perspective. Have your own perspective. But remember do not expect that everyone will agree with you.

8. Believe in yourself
Self belief is the greatest gift to yourself.
That's the reason why I always say, " I believe in myself and my abilities."
9. Every season is beautiful.
I don't know how to express this but let me try........    "Seasons change, also we do." Make sure the change is beautiful and positive. Be it season or you.

10. Wrong or right is just perspective.
It is just perspective from where you see. Stop labelling wrong or right.

11. You have 3 faces in your life.
I have read this somewhere and now I truly believe in it. 

12. Forgive or forget the person.
If you ever get hurt by anyone, remember you have two choices. Either you forgive or forget.
If the person is valuable, then forgive him/her. Or else just forget them for rest of you life.

13. Friendships are not for reasons.
You cannot be friend to someone for your stupid reasons. Friendship is the only relation you make by yourself. Do not ruin for your personal motive.

14. Never beg for your self respect
Self respect is highest among all. If there is no self-respect, then there is no place for you.

15. Empathy over sympathy
This picture will surely make you realise why I chose empathy over sympathy.

16. Trust your audience.
I know many people are afraid of public speaking. But remember when you adress people, they are ready to help you. They even are afraid that if you would get it done or not ? Have never seen a great silence when someone stops while speaking.

17. Stop at nothing to follow your dreams.
I don't understand why only 5% people do what thet are passionate about. Rest are stuck in the way. So do not let anything get between your dreams.

18. Everything happens for a reason
Be it good or bad, right or wrong, bright or dark. Any or everything in your life is bound to happen due a reason. So think positive. 

Bonus : *Nevertheless take care of yourself. You are the most important person in your life.* 

This is crazy. I can't believe I can blog. That's it. 🥳
Imp: Comment how it went
Btw this is my first blog.🫣
Many more on the way.🤞💫
*This is just my perspective. Do not get it wrong. I am really sorry if I hurt any one's feelings*

    It's impressive how well you express yourself both verbally and in writing. You write and speak in a clear and concise manner. I enjoy reading and listening to everything that you have to say.

The 521 story: It hurt because it mattered.

It was not easy, it is not easy and it is not going to be easy. Hardwork, determination, sacrifice, etc... but still something went wrong. I was panicked a little, during my neet exam. I thought I would be running out of time and hurried a bit. Biology was easy but I don't know what went wrong with botany part. Zoology was very good. Chemistry was horrible but I still love organic chemistry. Physics was good but my energy was drained till I came this part. Still my score in physics is good comparably. After paper I was asked the go to question, "How was your paper?" To all other people I can lie but not to my parents specially my father. When he asked me I choked initially. But finally I said it was good. But I was very tried and uncertain at the same time. My inner self knew I was going to score above 500 but was worried a little. I hoped that my score would be closer to 600 or above at least 550. But you know always things don't go as plan. I checked through some an...

What if I fail...

"What if I fail..." Sometimes I ask this to myself. So, there is self-questioning answering. I know you want me to tell the answer to this. But before that lets understand failure. What is failure? See the definition of failure vary with person and situations. " You set the line between your success and failure. " So, let's understand this, you worked very hard for this marathon, and you set a goal to be in top 10 athletes. But you came 11th. So, you think that's a failure. And on the other hand, someone eyes only to complete the marathon. So now for that person failure is only if he/she leaves the race before finish line. See this doesn't mean that you should not aim for bigger. You are one who acknowledge your inner strength. So, aim what your inner strength tells you. In all "failure is just a state of mind when you can't meet your own expectation."  Why you question yourself for failing? This not many people realize. There is no harm t...
