Awful news!
Got a sad news today from the MIT. They denied me a position in the class of 2015. 324 seats and 4000 applicants was not too tough for me before the result was out. But now, after the result, the competition seems insurmountable.
Now, I am having serious second thoughts about the Stanford. should I send app to the Stanford or not. 90% of me says- "you have no chance". 10% says -"may be they like you". what do I lose if I apply there? well $265 ~ Rs. 14, 500, that's the application fee.
Hey, in this sadness and gloom that has surrounded me, I am forgetting a very important lesson that failure teaches you more than a success. so what have I learnt? At least one thing that all my future applications will be better than the MIT's. I have to make them better. Also, this failure has given me the energy for the rest of my applications.
As I write, I think I should apply to the Stanford too, not caring about the results. If i fail, I will learn. If i succeed, there will be celebrations. Both ways, I will benefit. So here I go again to send rest of my applications!
Sandeep, a colleague, told me a story about this movie inspired from real life "everything is incredible". This man, paralyzed from waist, has a dream of making a helicopter and he does this in 58 years. That's a limit of perseverance and determination . And this is what I need right now!
