4 REASONS WHY GOOD IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH IN ENGINEERING


GOOD is a very astonished word – always associated with positive karma’s in life.In a way the word is a big competitor of word BAD so people try to play safe and like to be in corner of GOOD all the time.

GOOD Habits are always better than BAD ones, GOOD people always better than other, GOOD in studies will get you admission in a good college and eventually will help you getting a good paying JOB.

But do these so called good rules apply to an ENGINEER. Somewhat “Yes” but in many ways “No”. So if GOOD is not GOOD enough for Engineers than what actually suits an Engineer. The answer lies in being GREAT at what you do. So that when you do it people will see the spark in you. They would be made to think that you are a breed different from the Normal. In many ways you end up doing things that others just dream they are capable of doing.

So here are few things for teenagers pursuing Engineers must follow to be different from Normal.
    
   1. CHANGE

Engineering is intimidating, Quite Challenging than other courses available in college. Teenagers who enter engineering are never the same after their 4 years course is completed and they become graduate. But the Question is what  is that change you want to become. What is that change you want to see in yourself. Why should you change?.  Youngsters who end up taking engineering are passionate about their life. Engineering is like a grind. You have to grind for change only then you become a great learner in engineering.

Quick Fix for CHANGE – Find a passion in your desired field  and you will always be enjoying what your learning and that passion will indeed CHANGE your thoughts. These thought will further change your Habits.
 
   2. HABITS

If you don’t want to suffer miserable situation in Engineering then try changing your Habits. Habits shape life. You become what to repeatedly do. Gone are the days when you use to score good marks in school, Junior college and Classes. Engineering is more about gaining practical knowledge from whatever you read, rather then knowing every answers.

Quick Fix for HABITS- Google that new concept that you learned in college today. Dig deep into something that interests you. Dedicate 15 minutes for these activity of searching(or some productive hobby you like doing) every single day. This small habits will make a BIG difference once you look back at yourself after every 6 months..

Instead of trying to learn few good Habits try neutralizing or giving up some BAD ones.    

   3.TIME

Some wise man said “TIME IS MONEY” this phrase suits engineers. Engineers get only 5 month(even less than that sometimes) in every SEMESTER to complete a syllabus that’s really vast.And by the time you think of starting studies you end getting assignment, write ups and what not and you are left with hand full of days to complete an gigantic syllabus .

Quick Fix for Time – Try getting up  1 hour early daily and memorize most of your answers at that time, make a commitment that all your assignments write ups and Practical’s get over during your time in college, bunked lectures and free time during the break can prove quite helpful. So you can save your time during evenings and worki on  some useful engineering projects at Home.

    4.GOOD Engineers read Great Engineers DO IT

When was the last time a Good Computer Engineering student built a complex C++,Java or Database Program. When was the last time Electronics and EXTC Engineers design their own PCB that actually produced an output etc etc and the list goes on. A long time back could be an answer for these question.
 Good engineering read some new concept in ONE SEMESTER only to forget it in the next SEMESTER. THE GREAT ones built upon whatever they have learned.
  
Change your MENTALITY. Figure out your BAD habits and try slashing them out of your life . Manage your time well every single day and Aim for Greatness

With all these said it time now to AIM for being Great.

“Learn to say NO to the GOOD
So you can say YES to the GREAT.”
