Hopefully, a lifelong journey of learning | A beginning...in a sea of new beginnings

Hello readers (or just me when I come back to check on this in a few years),

This is my alternate blog theme, where I hope to record all the learning I plan to undertake in my post university days.

As can be deciphered from the post title, I  am pretty good at starting fifteen different things, but really bad at staying committed to even one. My commitment, passion, discipline, knowledge and every other aspect of my life can easily be plotted in the form of a cosine curve. I start any activity with full gusto, all hyped up with multiple case scenarios for tackling it, multiple schedules to account for conflict or interruptions but fizzle out within weeks. Then, again a few weeks later, I get angry at myself for not pushing hard enough, for dropping out on things, and go back to pick up the activity. The cycle repeats itself...1 to 0, 0 to -1, - 1 to 0, 0 to 1 and on and on...

So, here I am. Beginning another new thing. In a sea of new beginnings I have made in the past few weeks. Only time will tell if I can hang on to this one or this one joins the sea of failures that I have accomplished (get it!) over the years.

Stay safe out there!

Cheers,
Shubham Thakur
