How important Attitude is in Life.........

It's a difficult task that I have thrust upon myself now. To write an article about something I always lack, yet am equally keen forever to ensure that it coalesces with the rest of my attributes.

Attitude is something which can peak you to great altitudes in life. Not just for the sake of rhythm did I mention that. Personally, I have come out of dogged days and periods of inactivity or lull only with the aid of attitude. It is that sort of a dagger that can tear apart the veils of indolence thereby exposing real and luminous talents. It constantly reminds one of the significance of consistent improvement. It does enough to ensure that we don't go off-track from the original path.

There have been some very difficult periods in my life. I had the eagerness to study and understand new things, yet I was curbed by a feeling of satisfaction that overtook me once I knew "What is What". I felt impotent that I was not able to delve deep into the underlying Mathematical beauties or Physical meanings. The single book that I used to read was not capable of providing me with any perfect salvation on the topic. There seemed no way out - like being surmounted by a giant wall and needing to look for a minute interstice thereupon.

Events other than the ones concerning academics forced me to pass through days where I had little other stuff to focus upon. I plunged into my studies and swam with the solitary motive of touching the floor. Slowly an attitude built by itself - to focus, focus and re-focus. A single book was never going to be sufficient to understand 
anything for a persevering engineer. I gathered all resources, and while doing so thanked my seniors who had toiled all day and night to bring about this thing called the Internet. Resources started falling into the respective places on my desktop PC. Thirst of knowledge increased dramatically, I never stopped with just the definition.

Again, this attitude came about naturally and I never spent time trying to create it. So, the destruction also came as smoothly as its formation. I became a wanderlust again and the journey of life resumed with the same old craving present previously.

Note: There may be students of Engineering going through this blog. My kind request to all of you people is to fully exploit the Internet. Almost every great book on any subject is there (here.. somewhere[ ;)]). By restricting yourself to the lecturer's notes and prescribed textbooks, you are denying you self an opportunity to understand,innovate and specialise.  

Try to evolve the habit of studying from e-books - its a luxury today but a necessity tomorrow.
