To bear misfortune worthily is good fortune ~ Marcus Aurelius
You need to be trustable, Aadhar. People should be able to trust you with their lives.
Your word is your bond . If you say you will do and if you dont , people wont trust. Trust is the most valuable thing for an employee. It is the base of relationships in corporate . Everyone is coming from a good house . Every one has a good sustainable salary. Money holds less value for people at top places as they have dollars all the time .
Get the egg on your face Aadhar.
Trying to solve hard problems is the need of the hour , Aadhar. Dont strategise/ optimise for easy and less work in the day to day short term. Put in the extra hours sometimes. It frees you of fear and brings confidence that you can handle such situations. It is not the ones who do less work that excel and grow, it is the ones who stick with challenges and try their hands at them. They take help but don't quit. Even if you fail , you learn.
Make friends with your colleagues. Take care of them like your own.
Just like you, your managers and teammates are humans like you.
They are simply looking for hopeful and positive people who make the workday bearable and fun. There is zero competition. Care for your team. Protect your team. Nurture your team. Be their support and they will be yours. Be very respectful. Be sincere and they will become your teachers, which is the best-case scenario.
"Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart."

Keep Learning CONSISTENTLY, Aadhar.
Do that weekend course. Do the daily DSA problem. Complete that Udemy course. Take that interview. Teach people. These things add up to give you self-belief and confidence in case the tide turns in the wrong direction. Understand concepts like DISTRIBUTION through Social Media, Personal Branding, INVESTING, SPECIFIC KNOWLEDGE, HUMAN BEHAVIOUR and READING.

Think long-term and Think like the TATAs. Don't cheat. Don't betray. Be fair when dealing with people. If you do so, the stars will align for you, Aadhar.
What do you want to be Aadhar and then take action today in that direction? Small steps. That is all we need to do today. We all know the effects of Compound Interest. Do not accept the chances of Pleasure. Pleasure is a loan which Nature will take back from you along with interest. Beware Aadhar Beware.
Remember if health goes, everything goes along with it.
Do not misuse and abuse your body and mind for the sake of earning money or pleasure. You know it never ends well. Your body is your temple and your mind is the deity inside it. Don't pollute it with Sugar and screen sugar. Get away from Youtube. Exercise for a few minutes daily. Even a morning walk will work. Stand up from your sit every 20 minutes. Small things add up to bring a positive change to Aadhar.
Be fair with your own self Aadhar and listen to your Inner Voice as it takes you the farthest ...
Do not cheat yourself. Be your ally. Work on your body and mind daily. If your heart's deepest desire is to play the piano or play Table Tennis , at least try to do that during the weekends. If you are a rat in the rat race Aadhar, still be a fair honest and peaceful rat. Mediate, Read and Write as a detox from your digital work life. At least once a day. It helps to clear the mind. And what good is a software engineer without a clear mind, right Aadhar?
"Those who are possessed by nothing, possess everything"
What we do now echoes in eternity.
Do you remember what happened in your class X or in your friedns birthday or when covid happened in 2020 . You do right . So whatever actions you take , have an effect on what circumstances present to you in the future. You present action is capable to turn over your destiny . Your actions live in your memory . Their results are the manifestation of your current situation. Aadhar did a Btech in 2018 so in 2021 when Natwest asked for Btech certificate degree , he was able to present it . Aadhar wasted time in Class XI , so he did not go to an IIT D but he went to an SRM . Whatever you will do today , whatever will remain with you until your death.
If you wish to be beautiful, Aadhar, make beautiful choices. Thats the secret of Mr Shahrukh Khan . DDLJ then Kuch Kuch then Kal Ho Na Ho then Devdas then Swades then Chakde then Don . Exactly now you get the point , right Aadhar ?
You can never give what you do not have.
When you give something away, the Universe takes it as a signal that you are capable of owning/having that thing. Give to the Universe. Ask the Universe to send all its children which are in need, to you. Serve whoever comes to you in need of your help. Give them your best. Serve the universe by serving its children. And I bless you Aadhar that you will achieve peace and prosperity.
