It is not over until you win !!
When you were a three year old kid , every teacher in school , every parent in home " Kid , count your fingers "Öne , Two , Three " and that's how you enter the world with numbers . Until you are five , these numbers only remain a number till you turn six and then the silly GPA system starts .
It's going to be 22 years for me since I came into this cruel world , where at every point of life , even now when I landed up doing Master's in Germany , parents are like "Beta uska GPA toh itna aaya tha , tmhara itna kam kiyu hai ? Parents don't understand you , don't understand what are you going through , they just think GPA is good , so you are good . When I came here to do Master's , no one asks me what was your GPA , instead they ask me what project did you work on in your Bachelor , what practical knowledge you have ? Trust me GPA is just a number , a number like one , two , three . Don't dishearten yourself if you have a low GPA , just have a sound knowledge .
Trust me , in these 22 years , what I realized it , GPA is just a number , a number which you used to learn it in your kindergarten days , let them remain a number forever , don't turn them into nightmares . They are simply a reflection of what you wrote in exam on that day , and not the knowledge you have inside your mind .
I remember the dialog of the famous 3 idiots movie , " Excellence ke peeche bhago , success jhak maar ke peeche aayegi " . Live upon that , forget what parents say , they are just a source of building pressure , stop comparing yourself , be your unique way , you are unique in every sense .
GPA is a number which is killing so many students , so many young talented students especially in India. You land up doing your bachelor's in IIT and then low GPA strikes you out of institute , this is what happens in India ? Is it worth it , how can anyone judge a student on GPA , when it is just a number .
I had the lowest GPA in my third semester way back in 2013 , well 8.01 for my parents was extremely low , and they scolded me every way they could. Well , that scolding made me cry for the whole where every time I was in constant fear of losing myself , pressures about GPA starts building up like this. Well , now I realize my tears were not worth that 8.01. It doesn't even matters now whether I have a 8 or a 10 . World doesn't judges you on grade , in fact world doesn't judge you , you yourself are solely responsible for judging yourself. Grades are just a division , which doesn't decides you future.
I have been through many campus interviews in my bachelor days , almost 5 of them. None of them asked me about grade, trust me a 6 pointer landed up in Robert Bosch , so does the grade really matter's ? Don't fear grades , Fear is not good for life , that is what I realize it today , well four years were more than a nightmare for me about constant GPA I had to maintain , that parental and societal pressure , which never ends . In Germany , your grades in your CV is what they look at the last , they look at your efficiency , I have gone through so many discussions in universities as well as in companies , they simply ask what do you know , rather than asking what GPA you had . Well , I realized it here , GPA is just a number not your life . GPA is not worth for which you lose your life. Well , GPA made me fear death when I was 17 .
Realize your potential , and conquer the world . Rejections are just a part of life , bare with them . Even I had rejections , worst rejections I could ever imagine . But world never ended up with me, my hard work gave me new ways to realize myself , I had a rejection from Mu-Sigma interview at 3AM in night , believe me 30 July 2015 was worst night of my life I thought of jumping down when I realized I had something better than Mu-Sigma , 30 July 2016, I am in Germany because of my hard work , GPA never mattered here , it was my projects and work that landed me here . 31 March 2015 , TATA-POWER rejection in HR interview where they had complaints about my English and my age , well without my English proficiency , I couldn't get into top 30 out of 7500 applicants in Karlsruhe School of Optics And Photonics.
Rejections are just a part of life , and not a end to life , they simply mean something better is on your way . To sum up with this ,
