Welcome to News Discussion's Private Community

All the things that one has done so far at times you feel you could have taken different path. 
Could have studies different subject (AI/ML/Tech?) 
Could have started something of your own after passing out from college
Could have work harder on this which can give disproportionate returns( both personal and professional) 
Getting married early and investing as early as possible. 
I try to be grateful for things which I already have (and there are so many) but then there are moments where you feel you could have done better much better actually

How do you deal with regrets

Product Manager

A tiny seed dreamed of reaching the sun. It pushed through the rock, splitting its shell. It stretched towards the light, reaching higher and higher. Finally, it broke through the surface, basking in the sun's warm glow. But instead of a vast world, it found itself in a pot, surrounded by other plants. The seed realized its dream of reaching the sun wasn't about how high it grew, but where it grew.
Moral: Happiness isn't always about achieving something grand, but finding joy in where you are.

The happy seed

Without a job in hand and now I am fucking scared that no one will hire me.

Fuck this shit.

Guys, I did it! I quit my toxic boss.

I was told during covid that they will cut my salary in KPMG because they are doing it for all employees who are contractors.  
 I said fck it and left the job.  Got an opportunity with ey within next 1 month. Always have faith in your degree, your skillsets and your capabilities.

for me. i spent college studying for grades and 20s making money in a job I don't like, but never got to make the memories I should've with all my friends. I regret doing all of that

what is your worst mistake professionally?

If we are spiralling, let's spiral right

1. Focused solely on grades in colleges
2. Thought Campus placements were ultimate goal
3. Spent 3 years in a company with 5% increment (once), because it was comfortable
4. Scared to ask even minimum budget while negotiating salary
5. Overthinking every step, still not taking actions to correct or fuck up anything
6. Major major regret - not taking risk of starting own. It also has to do with parenting, but lets not blame.
7. Ran away from public sharing - speaking, athletics, all extracurricular activities for that matter. Kids grow up with zero confidence and looking fat & ugly. (I'm not fat shaming, some fat people look 🤌)

I'll add more, there will be more for sure 😂

I thought I was pretty HEADSTRONG until I had to let something go!

Letting Go!

Tech lead

My overall education started a bit late than normal people due to my fathers transfers and school admission rules. Consequently when I applied for JEE Advanced back in 2017 i was 19.5 years old.  I got it but wasnt satisfied so dropped a year and got a better rank. I was 20.5 years old when I finally joined IIT. 
Somewhere subconciously throughout my college life i felt that I did achieve what I wanted to but really late. I know theres nothing I could do about it but this was something still killing me inside. Most of my batchmates where 18 year olds and even the ones who dropped where at most 19. 

I always wanted to pursue my masters and phd but somewhere at the back of my mind I feel I would have to go theough the same feelings again. It just kills me so much inside. 

Currently I have completed 2 years as a software engineer and I am 26 years old. 
On one part my mind tells me that I am made for much more than just an IT job and should go to academia. On the other hand it feels like I am too old for it. 

I dont know what to do. I am not able to rationalize my thoughts. I am not able to understand how can I bring myself to overcome my fears and achieve what i really want in life.

A subconcious insecurity

This quote I read - you will get old irrespective of your masters and PHD degrees too.
Might as well be old with them.

We all talk a lot about the work we do and the jobs we got and stuff. But what is it that you sacrificed to get get there? 

I’ll go personally: 

I wanted to build a career in tech, so I: 
1. Lived away from my family and friends in an unknown city for 3 years (hardest thing for me as family/friends mattered a lot to me) 
2. Did not take up a job in Finance which was my true passion and still is

What is the greatest opportunity/job/luxury/personal thing you have sacrificed?

Product Marketing Manager

It can be anything related to not doing something you always wanted to but never did, a mistake you realize you shouldn’t have made, or feelings of not being successful enough. Feel free to share your thoughts.

Do you have any regrets?

Failed to spend enough time with my parents. Life moves really fast. If you're around your parents take care of them, spend time with them and if you're away then make sure you visit them often ☮️

Here’s what I have been feeling nowadays, 
I suffer alone every night, smile during the day & tell friends only half and parents nothing so they don't worry about them.

I finally end up becoming a big ball of bottled up emotions.

I was trying to talk to my colleagues about this and no one seems to care. All they care about is their own life and that is fair. 

Is life all about suffering and pain?

[Thread] Am I really a failure?

These days I'm kind of feeling lost. I know everyone on earth has some purpose in life and finding it is hard... I'm at a point where finding my purpose in life is a complete waste.. Every time i try to change my life style I feel I'm stuck in my past.. If it's a career I'm not in the place where I want to be.. If it's love/ relationship I'm not with that person cause things didn't work out.. Even though it's over and that person moved on and so did I but I'm still stuck in the past... I'm not sure why and how but yeah... Sometimes I do wonder what life yields me... What should I do? How to come to a conclusion and how to choose the right path and move on in my life? What is the right decision I need to make to stop feeling miserable? I would like your suggestions folks and tell me what you'rea feeling too...

“You should get married on time”

To the married folks, would it be different if you would have married later in life? From a personal or objective POV, what’s your take

32+ M here and not yet married.

“SHAADI waqt se ho jaana chahiye”

Got married at  26.  If i get  a time machine, will do it by 24.    There is a quote by ashneer, where he says, 30's are the most important time is building one's career and setting the foundation to make money. Distractions from family life/kids will kill both the careers and family. I think he made perfect sense.  

I think the older one gets, its difficult to have compatibility.  Too many external stimulus corrupts our view of the society. And more over everything has a purpose and we all come with a shelf life.  If chances of starting a family  is slim or nil, whats the point in getting married? one is better of single.

Never regret, If it's good, it's wonderful. If it's bad, it's experience.
