Impatience

To be ambitious is a good thing, but when boundaries between being ambitious and being impatient begin to blur, you know that you are in deep soup.
I guess its a trait which is common to a lot of IITians(i would say around 50%).
I have been in college for around 5 yrs and i enjoyed the relaxed pace of life throughly.I knew there is going to be an end to this beautiful journey, but instead of concentrating on end, i grabbed every available tiny pearl of happiness and gleefully pocketed it in my endless list of sweet memoirs.
Life out here is very different.
Industry don't love IITians as they are impatient.
They assume that they deserve more and go for it.
This results in high attrition rate and less respect.
I guess faithfulness and continuity are more important in an industry setup as compared to a flash of brilliance.
My flatmate epitomizes this thinking.
Sometimes i feel pity on him as he is too focussed on thinking about the water quality available at the next station, instead of enjoying the last remaining water drops at his disposal.In this unending process, i think he has forgotten a valuable lesson in life i.e. "LIVE IN PRESENT".
