The one that I believe applies most to all of AeSI'ians is this one.
And this is especially relevant at a time when we are all on the quest for the Holy Grail. We believe that joining the right college, the right course or the right company is the secret ingredient which will spice up our soup - our careers, our lives.
The truth is, it's all about what you believe. The moment you join an IIT or an IIM you start believing,"Hey I am really really good". You get the confidence to take on the world, the chutzpah to say,"The world is my oyster".
Clearing these super tough exams is like running a lawnmower through your own mental garden. It crushes the weeds of self doubt and self pity which we've allowed to grow.
Exam or no exam, you can choose to yank out those weeds. Then look the guys who think they know better in the eye and declare,"My soup is as kick-ass as yours."
As she rightly points out. Its what we believe that matters ultimately. IIT, IIM only gives us that belief and self confidence. Many AeSI folks have said they are the best when they clear AeSI, which all you know is the toughest course on earth ( I know some will disagree?). Anyway believe in your degree, believe in yourself and crush those weeds of doubt and self pity!!!
