Unlearning thing from School/College Life


Last few months or I can say year have being quite challenging on professionally and personal front but it was surely one of life phase which was most rewarding in term of unlearning things which i learnt years back in School, College & Master  (I am indeed grateful to people who touched my life during that phase.) but some of the events which occurred  as definitely made me quickly realise that today’s market place require different skill sets- Which is you should be lifelong student of life & not part of student life.

Few things to not remember from you College:


Exams are events occur on particular dates but in real life every day is exam, they might be not % correct answer but the choice which you will make day in day out unfold your future for sure. As the saying goes you make choice but choice will make you..:). 


In life you are measured by VALUE (can be in knowledge, Money, etc) you bring to table and not the % marks you get at least the latter part of your career.


This can be major factor, Experimenting: School experiments are always fun. If you don’t get them right, you can always repeat them. You can do experiments in your life too. However, the COST of failing in an experiment is quite high compared to the cost of failing an experiment in school. Be very careful in taking risks.
In college you pursue several subjects because they are part of the curriculum The way curriculum is designed at school, you really don’t have a choice on the subjects you choose to pursue. In the marketplace you not only have a choice it is your DUTY to pursue studying those subjects that are relevant to the current and future times. You have to be mastering topics that are required NOW and at the same time, you have to lay the foundation to master topics that will become relevant in the future.
You get rewarded for finding that ONE appropriate answer In the marketplace there is rarely ONE answer for anything that matters. You have to learn to choose the best among available options. And, you need to do that quickly. So you should be every ready to learn quickly & don’t repeat the mistake and come out with best possible solution.
It’s will be challenge but the earlier we do it’s always better, I my case some status quo change did help to bring in the thought process to some extent but still in process of follow some..:(  but always remember the earlier we know the realities it always better.
So go ahead and do the unlearning.!!
