What is that one habit that changed your life?

Going to the gym. Very underrated life lack, I’m less depressed that I was a couple of years back, reversed at least 3 years of age and helped me deal with chronic back pain by strengthening the lower back muscle. Only wish I knew this a decade back.

What's a small habit you've adopted that significantly improved your life?

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.

Have any fortunate or unfortunate incidents or events, such as marriage, a random meeting with someone that changed your life, a transformative interview/podcast, or a tragic loss like someone's death, significantly impacted your life?

Welcome to Movies & Music's Private Community

What's one quote  from a move or a book that changed your life forever?

basically I'm curious to know your decisions which you won't change no matter what. It might be okay for other people to go via that path, but you would never do that.

for example, not doing arranged marriage,  not doing drugs etc. 

feel free to provide reasoning.

What are your "no matter whatever" decisions ?

Senior Software Engineer

I have been working in MNC for 1.5 years now and most people who joined with me are switching to different companies. I have plans to go for higher studies so not focussing so much on switching. Not sure whether I am doing the correct thing or not. 
People in my company are like "Bro tum kab jayega aur kitna din idhar".

What’s the biggest change you ever made to your life/lifestyle?

What’s the one book that had a significant impact on your life, and what did you learn from it?

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 ☮️

What movie has had the biggest impact on your life, and why?

For years, I was a night owl who struggled with mornings and felt constantly exhausted. On a whim, I decided to try becoming an early riser. The first few weeks were brutal - I felt like a zombie and nearly gave up multiple times. But I stuck with it, gradually adjusting my sleep schedule and creating a morning routine I enjoyed.
Six months later, I'm amazed at the difference. It wasn't easy, but the impact on my overall well-being has been profound.

What significant lifestyle change have you made that had a profound impact on your well-being? How did you maintain motivation during the transition?

Life-changing lifestyle shifts: What's your story of transformation?

So, here's more context-
Let's say you are in mid 20s, earning decent amount. But you haven't explored different jobs/work. Haven't been through much situations, etc.
Now, given a choice between staying always at this high paying job that you are good at vs exploring your life, what would you do?

Or would you be in the high paying job, work your ass off while at the same time part time work on other things and see what makes sense to you?

What will you choose?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I am 27, and I have a well paying job in Bangalore. 

I want to quit this job and try my hands on entrepreneurship. I feel like I can do much more than what I am currently doing and have a more fulfilling life this way. 

Unable to see a lot of risks I have a 2 yr runway with savings. Parents don't have financial dependency. If everything fails I can restart my life in the next 1-2 years. 

Looking for perspectives and things I should consider before taking this step.

Path of Entrepreneurship

Data Scientist

I earn enough. Here are my problems:
1. Don’t have friends who I can talk to 
2. Dating life is weird and complicated (can’t find someone I’m truly happy with)
3. Don’t enjoy living in blr
4. Don’t have tight bond with siblings or parents

Suggest me some ways in which I can improve. Please only suggest things that worked for you.

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

I come from a poor background, but somehow I worked extremely hard and now I earn decently well (above 60 LPA cash). 

My problem is- 
I don’t mind spending on others. In fact I don’t even think twice before taking my card out and buying things for family or friends. I have also lent money to multiple people when they are in need of help (total close to about 2-3 lakhs). But it doesn’t bother me even a bit. I don’t even care about whether I’ll get it back or not. 

But, when it comes to me, I find myself struggling so much and questioning my decision to buy things even as cheap as INR 200-300. And most of the times I find myself going extra miles to save a few bucks. In fact, I also recently downgraded from a bigger to smaller apartment, because I have been doing so much maths around saving 7-8K a month. 

Maybe there is some part of me that feels that I don’t deserve any of this. 

Anyone has any idea how to fix this?

I find it so hard to spend on myself

Welcome to Confessions's Private Community

I'll go first,

I would perhaps slap my past self and ask him to not study too hard for the JEE, take some time off and fetch more life experiences.

If you had the chance to go back in time and change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

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
