Meet Vivek Sharma, a https://t.co/YSvOF5fxhn Computer Science gold medalist from IIT Bombay, who left a $240,000-a-year (₹2.9 crore) US job to run a small grocery store beneath his house and take care of his parents by staying close to them.
Coming from a simple lower-middle-class family in Kanpur, he worked incredibly hard to achieve his dreams. His father was a railway clerk, and his mother gave tuition classes to support the family.
Like many Indian parents, they sacrificed everything for their son's education. Their savings were used, jewellery was sold, and every rupee was carefully managed so that Vivek could study in Kota and later get into IIT Bombay.
Years later, all those sacrifices seemed worth it.
In his final year, Mr. Sharma received a dream job offer from a San Francisco-based startup with a package worth nearly $240,000 per year. Visa sponsorship, relocation, a global career.....
everything was ready.
Right before joining the US job, tragedy struck. His father suffered a heart attack, and his mother was diagnosed with cancer.
He chose to sacrifice his career.
Now, he runs a grocery store. He also teaches coding to underprivileged children. Vivek says, "My parents are my biggest company."

"Bhai, itne drops ke baad MBBS join karunga to sab judge karenge?"
Yeh shayad NEET aspirants ka sabse bada myth hai.
Reality bata deta hoon.
Mere college me:
• Ek junior 39 years ke hain.
• Ek senior 38 years ke hain.
Aur kisi ke saath koi alag treatment ya partiality nahi hoti.MBBS me enter karne ke baad kisi ko farq nahi padta ki tum 1st attempt me aaye ho ya 7th me.
Wahan matter karta hai:
- Kitna sincerely padhte ho.
- Patients ke saath kaise behave karte ho.
- Kis tarah ke doctor ban rahe ho.
NEET rank aur drop year sirf admission tak important hote hain.Uske baad tum sab sirf MBBS students hote ho
Agar sirf "log kya kahenge" ke darr se drop lene se bach rahe ho, to shayad tum apne sapne ko hi rok rahe ho
Drop is a delay, not a disqualification.

Meet Abdul Alim. No college. No https://t.co/YSvOF5fxhn. No Degree. He studied only up to the 10th standard. He started his journey as a security guard at Zoho, and today he is a Member of Technical Staff at the same company, successfully completing 12 years there.
In 2013, after finishing the 10th standard, he left home with just ₹1,000 in his pocket. He spent ₹800 on a train ticket. After spending nearly two months on the streets, he finally got a job as a security guard at Zoho.
One day, a senior employee noticed him and asked about his education and computer knowledge. Alim said he knew a little HTML from school.
The senior offered to teach him, and every day after completing his 12-hour security shift, Alim stayed back to learn programming.
Eight months later, he built a small application that took user input and visualized it. The senior employee showed the app to his manager and asked if it would be possible to interview Alim. The manager liked the application and agreed.
Alim cleared the interview despite not having a college degree and became a software engineer at Zoho.
It's never late to start learning!

Meet Janhavi Ajit Rao.After spending 18 years as a software engineer, she made a decision that very few people would dare to make.
At the age of 40, she quit her successful engineering career and joined MBBS to become a doctor.
She studied Electronics in California, worked at top technology companies in the US and India, and even founded her own technology company.
In 2003, she was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disease. During her treatment, she saw how doctors changed patients' lives.
That inspired her to leave engineering behind and dedicate her life to medicine.
So, in 2013, she joined M.S. Ramaiah Medical College, Bengaluru, as an MBBS student.
After 8 years of hard work, she earned her MBBS degree.
Today, at the age of 47, she pursuing her M.D , currently working as Primary care physician in United States

My friend was 28yrs old.
She dreamed of becoming a doctor.
And spent nearly ₹46L over 8yrs pursuing it.
Family:
"We've done everything we could. The rest is up to you."
One day, she quit.
And started a healthcare YouTube channel.
Society:
"What a waste of ₹46L."
3 years later...
NEET UG gets leaked. So many students are devastated. Some lives were even lost.
NEET PG gets postponed or preponed almost every year.
Counselling is almost always delayed.
Despite all this mess, the Education Minister refuses to resign. The Prime Minister does not even release a statement.
And when frustrated youngsters embrace the "cockroach" title, accusations of being anti-national and leftist are hurled at them.
The political arrogance is now sickening!
Tom Brady: life is hard. To be successful at anything, the truth is, you do not have to be special.
You just have to be what most people aren not: consistent, determined and willing to work for it. No shortcuts.
@akinalabi This is so true.
Sometimes those 5 years pass without you even realizing, then regret kicks in: “I should’ve started back then.”
Now the irony?
To move forward in my career now, I still need to take that same step I avoided years ago. 😅
Start now. Time will pass anyway.
@akinalabi Word. I tell folks this. There is no competition. 1 polytechnic and 2 University programs later. Finishing the 2nd (Medical School) in a few months. Never let anything get in the way. Just do it.
