my museum of victories as a 22 year old:

4. completed over 11 internships spanning research, sde, ml and devops

5. 5 publications in A* conferences including ICML, ICLR, NeurIPS

6. worked with some of the top professors and phd students in the world getting some insane LORs in the process

7. got ms admits from 7 of the top 15 US colleges

8. Used to weigh 52kgs when i started engineering, got to 79kgs with a decent amount of muscle.

9. helped rebuild my grandparents house.

10. went on a full north to south vietnam trip with my bestfriend of 15 years

11. helped pay off parent's debts

12. finally bought a MacBook of my own

13. working on my first solo author paper under guidance of someone from DeepMind

the only reason I posted all this is because I know how scary it is getting overwhelmed by all the progress happening and it's okay to be scared that you might not make it. but there's something you should remember:

It only takes one big win to cancel all the losses. just one win.

for me that win was getting my first internship and it was just uphill from there. I'll say the same thing I said a year ago, keep your head down, keep working, keep learning , do not lose that curiosity at any cost, have that consistency, it's fine to have off days, it's fine to get distracted but never lose sight of your end goal. and when you do win you'll realise the amount of effort it actually takes to make it and you'll be grateful and proud of yourself that you put in the work.

may you never ever lose the desire to pursue things no matter how hard it gets.

keep grinding.

Move fast, break things.
Momentum is everything.
Failing is probably better than not trying.

Unfortunately these things should be experienced in hindsight and not read on twitter.

@shri_shobhit Same here.

I used to get so demotivated about it.

But later, I realized that my peers' level of understanding is way more superficial.

Meanwhile, I try to connect each dot to every other dot in my mind.

Thank you for sharing ❤️

you can reverse your brain rot by just quitting everything then picking up a pirated books pdf and just trying to finish it to your hearts content to move to the next one

dream big. dare to dream because everything is possible. don't let anybody take away the dream. it doesn't matter where you're coming from. i actually think that the more disadvantaged childhood you have, the more difficulties and challenges you face, the stronger you become. don't let anybody take that dream away from you. nurture it. water it like you water flowers. even if you find only one person in this world who will accept, embrace, and support your dream, find that person and dream big, because you can make it.

i'm a big advocate of abusing your unfair advantage everywhere

- if ur an attractive guy/girl, post pics of yourself to get more traffic
- if u still live with ur parents, work 12hrs/day since u have no responsibilities
- if you have good savings, invest heavily in mentors to get ahead

everyone who’s now at the top 0.1% got there by playing unfair

and “playing unfair” doesn’t mean you should lie and do illegal things

it just means abusing ur own unfair advantage

everyone has one

find yours

learn whatever you want

[Ajeet ( opensox.ai ) @jackedAJ]

if you are in 1st, 2nd or 3rd year of college, build your online presence as religiously as you learn dev, dsa, ai etc.

being visible is as important as being skilled.

you think that you are not smart enough to do something

i think that i am retarded enough to do everything

The curse and gift of seeing too much is the highest price most brilliant minds pay. For they don't just see the world - they oversee it. They notice the tiny cracks in conversations, the hidden connections others miss, the future unfolding before anyone else catches on. Their mind is always a few steps ahead, scanning not just what is, but what could be. It's a gift: foresight, creativity, pattern recognition. But it's also a curse: overwhelm, anxiety, the weight of carrying knowledge others can't or won't see. To see too much is to live in a double-edged state - always aware, never at rest. And yet, this is where genius lives: in the mind that sees the storm coming and names its hidden order.

JEE is essentially only an accessibility test at its core.

You compete to gain access to better individuals. IIT is just a tag.

Accessibility to the right people is such a boon.
