Torn between your ambitions and the decision to settle down in life, making a choice wasn’t easy especially when you have been a part of the corporate world for almost 3 years. In all this turmoil I spoke to a couple of people, seeking advices, weighing out both the options. I remember asking my acquaintances in the same university that is it really worth leaving your job, and again totally becoming a dependent on your parents for higher studies. One of them replied saying, that it wasn’t just about getting a degree but it is much beyond it. Today after 2 years when I take the walk and finally fulfill my dream of getting masters, I realized that truly it wasn’t just about getting a master’s degree.
It wasn’t just about getting your ego shattered a zillion times,
It was also about picking up every broken piece, gluing them together and bounce back.
It wasn’t just about learning how to care for people,
It was also about realizing when to draw the line and back off.
It wasn’t just about getting used to scoring low,
It was also about realizing that your grade is not a judge of what you know.
It wasn’t just about learning that knowledge is power,
It was also about accepting that at times Ignorance is bliss.
It wasn’t just about realizing that your emotions are your biggest weakness,
It was also about making your emotions your soul strength.
It wasn’t just about accepting that people have their own priorities-sleeping, work or outing,
It was also about revisiting your own priorities and re-ordering them.
It wasn’t just about loving people around and away from you,
It was also about appreciating your own self and loving the one person who truly deserves to be happy.
It wasn’t just about living on experimental cooking,
It was also about appreciating every meal your mom ever cooked!
It wasn’t just about slogging day and night to complete assignments,
It was also about realizing after two years that there is always time for things you really want to do!
It wasn’t just about missing your home and family,
It was also about finding a new family of friends, a home away from home.
It wasn’t just about tasting success in life,
It was also about “learning how to deal with failure”.
It wasn’t just about making mistakes in life,
It was also about extracting the lesson out of it and never repeating them again!
Finally to end with a cliché,
It wasn’t just about thanking your parents for every bit of values they brought you up with,
It was also about deciding what kind of upbringing you would want your kids to have :) :)
