Hi Guys,

To be successful in life, one must endeavour to learn more and more, for knowledge can just never be enough. The ordinary people, that I noticed, never really try more than "necessary", to pass, to win, or to succeed. This "Necessary" is just an imaginary self-imposed limit, that allows a person to justify their inadequate actions to push beyond the bare minimum.

Why? Why do we wish to succeed, yet subconsciously (or consciously) militate the very opportunities which may make it possible? Why not strive a bit more?

In our schools, colleges or universities, we often find Valedictorians, who are almost revered as divine. While many of them perform well otherwise, some may not even be employable. There may be cases where the supposedly mediocre ones take the cake, later in their lives. *

So, how do they achieve it? Luck and efforts.

You may be the best in your class or office, but does that guarantee your position later in life. Additional efforts do not hurt, especially when your life becomes stagnant. Go ahead, or rather go back and learn, and evolve, and keep on learning. What would be a better way to learn than an MOOC?

Now, what is an MOOC? A quick googling tells me that it is the abbreviation of massive open online course.

MOOCs cover a wide range of topics, covering Business, Science, Engineering, Medicine, Mathematics, Arts and even Language.

The major MOOC platforms include

  • Edx
  • Coursera
  • Canvas Network
  • Udemy
  • Khan Academy
  • Future Learn
  • Udacity
  • NPTEL
  • Saylor Academy
Today I completed an MOOC. This was the first MOOC that I completed, and about 25th that I ever started.

The course that I completed was quite crucial to my career plan, though not essential. And it was today that I realised, it wasn't even difficult. Yet, I regularly abandoned my courses.

Today, I came to terms with my own loathness to put in more efforts, than "necessary".

So go ahead, and beat your mediocrity. You can't be both mediocre and Batman.

Cheers.

Help Me Beat Procrastination

Hi guys

Long time since my first blog post.

I started working out like I promised. Fizzled out. Started again. Stopped again. And on and off again and again.

So, finally I've got a vacation and have started working out again.

Its been about 5 continuous days of work out and 2 days worth of rest and I can already see the results. My arm has grown about one inch bigger (I did not even focus my workout on singular muscles), body is now in a good shape; and I am feeling good overall.

Starting today, I am going to write about various things and events going on in my life. My aim in life is to become a proud all-round warrior of the 21st Century. Currently, I am a 20 year old loser, who has never really achieved anything worthwhile in life.

This blog will be the log in my endeavors to beat my sore luck (if it does exist), in almost all fields of life, be it my ambition of becoming strong, having a better academics,having a love-life (Sigh!), becoming rich,exploring my city and country, working towards social justice, or (most importantly) having a greener earth.

I am going to post about everything, starting tomorrow, Monday, December 26th 2016; one topic once a week, everyday.

I know no one's even reading it. My blog is anyway nowhere close to that of the professionals. I am posting for my own satisfaction, so that one day I have something to look back.

If you are reading this and wish to be a part of it, feel free to contact me, subscribe, comment or share.

Tomorrow: I will start posting about an Indian fitness exercise, which was performed by the greats such as the Great Gama and Bruce Lee. 


Love
SSJ


P.S.: I am not a professional, and my advice may or may not work.

P.P.S.: I am definitely not a life Guru, and am more likely to fail myself in these attempts. I will be experimenting things on myself before posting it on the blog, keeping a buffer of at least a month, so as to be aware of all the effects and ill effects.

P.P.P.S. : SSJ are my initials. while do I like watching DBZ, I am not fanatic enough to use it as a pen name.

P.P.P.P.S.: I would not employ titles such as "10 things about ... that will blow your mind".

Hi

This is the first blog that I write. So here's a quick intro. I am a student, a nerd, a martial arts enthusiast, and a comic reader.

I have grown up watching cartoons, anime, movies, and TV shows and reading a lot of comics. Superheroes have always caught my fascination, especially the ones who weren't actually super. Yes.. the writers have a hard time putting the ordinary heroes stand upto the super ones, but they know who we cheer for. It might not be a coincidence that the "Man of Steel" sequel, a superman movie was named "Batman vs Superman". He takes on goons, lunatics, metahumans, and even gods. Sometimes it is good, sometimes just batsh*t. But at the end of the day, we just love Batman.

OWNED :P



See..! That's what I am talking about.
And I've decided to work towards becoming like Batman. Maybe not Batman.. but like him. Maybe not as strong.. but just enough. I am going to train. And I invite you to join me.




This blog is essentially my training diary, which I mean to write once weekly. You guys can join me in my training, and together we can together make a community of Batmans. Also, the Dark Knight is a billionaire (not a self-made one, but a billionaire nonetheless) . Why stop at batman when you can also be the Bruce Wayne? So I will write about my startup, alternate earning sources, and stuff.

The blog may venture into martial arts, espionage, Science and Technology, and Business. (Mostly the first two)
