I come from a small town in Uttar Pradesh. I was born and brought up in a lower-middle-class family. But I studied hard and made my way to the two prestigious leagues of colleges in our country – IIT & IIM.

How has my life changed? A lot. During my school, I was in the company of friends who had no aspirations in their life. But IIT & IIM gave me access to one of the smartest & the most hard-working people who served as an inspiration for my life. I experienced severe knowledge transfer in their company, which imparted me skills I would have never thought.

I am not only financially better off now but also have learned how to look at life differently. With the adoption of newer habits, embracing health and fitness as a journey, and putting extra effort in whatever I do, my perspective on life has completely changed.

For me, studying is not just a gateway to knowledge but also a source of access to intelligent minds. I can appreciate the principles given in the best seller books because I have elevated my mind to synchronize with their thoughts.

Think again when you lose motivation to study. Do you want a normal life or you want to be among the leaders? By saying so, I am, in no way, telling, you can’t do anything without studying. But studying puts you on a better footing. And I am not restricting the concept of learning to academic books; you can learn about your passion and make your career in that direction.

Visualize the future you want to see, and if studying can help you reach there, don’t ever lose your motivation for studying.
