Namaskar! Sat Sri Akaal! Assalamualaikum and Hello!!
This is Simerjeet Singh back again with a brand-new series for young students.
We have named this series #EkNayiShuruwat.
And whatever conversations you have over social media or on YouTube comments or elsewhere.
Please use the Hashtag - #EkNayiShuruwat
Friends, not only in entire India but I believe, in the entire Indian sub-continent be it Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan or other neighbouring counties...
Everywhere, as the new semester/college year are soon to be started...
In millions, young students are being admitted to many professional colleges and universities.
To give a new dimension to their lives.
And from these series, my sole intention and attempt are to...
The information which, on the very first day of entering the college, was not being imparted to us, to be available for you.
This year, I've been a keynote speaker to around 4 to 5 different institutes at their orientation programs.
But because I cannot be everywhere, each year, these videos will help me to reach you.
When I was conceptualising this series, in the start I thought it would just be limited to the students.
But as we developed it, I believed not only if you are a fresher or a young student in the college...
Not only then these videos will be helpful...
But also if it is your first job, then also these videos are going be of true help to you.
Or even if you are rebooting your life.
If you have seen the movie - Mangalyan?
As shown in the movie that computers used creating a big problem at ISRO's workplace.
And just a simple turning on the power again, restarting, the old Ctrl+ALt+Dlt formula...
Just after rebooting it, the computers were turned on right, again!
Sometimes our life, too, faces similar issues and we are stuck in similar situations.
And all we need is just a reboot!!
So, if you want to reboot your life, then also these videos are of great help.
And I have titled these as #EkNayiShuruwat - A Brand New Beginning
Friends, It is not necessary that #EkNayiShuruwat of a person is only on 31st December...
Most people believe in the new year and create resolutions like...
1st January is the only day for a brand new beginning in my life.
I believe, whenever you are dejected from your past...
About how have I spent my last 5 years
And I don't want to spend the coming 5 years similarly...
That moment, that jiff is for you to create #EkNayiShuruwat
So, life changes when you want it to change!!
Let me begin with congratulating all the young students; young professionals for starting their new jobs.
You know, let me start by congratulating you, all the very best to you all, whenever there is a new beginning.
In this, friends, you always need to keep in mind the following.
If there is a new beginning and you still have the same mindset with what you had spent your entire life with...
Then there shall be no new change at all!!
Please keep this in mind.
That is the new chapter and you have to let go of the old baggage.
An ancient old saying goes, “If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got.”
If you want new results, you gotta put in new efforts.
Very simply put what you have to do is..
Shed The Baggage of The Past!!!
Whatever bad happened in the past,
This is the change to drop everything and start new all over again.
Where I believe, whenever 2 people meet each other, they tend to ask -
What is your background? Where do you belong to?
But whenever a person is having #EkNayShuruwat, we should rather ask his vision instead of his background.
Never ask him - Where you came from? Where do you belong to?
History can never determine the future!!
History is the poor determinant of the future.
So when you have a brand new start...
Instead of focusing on your background, the past that you are focusing...
Focus on your vision.
Develop a brand new thinking mindset
And I believe, there might be many students in a doubt.
Oh! I didn't need to take admission to this college.
I shouldn't have gone to this city.
I shouldn't have selected this stream or subjects.
Friends, history is a great example here that success is for ones who make the best of what they have.
You have limited energy, limited time.
Either you spent it in confusion.
Whenever a person spends his time in confusion, his mental ability is scattered.
And in your childhood, you might have experimented with a magnifying glass.
When we take a magnifying glass in the sun...
It focuses all of the sun's rays to a point and burns the paper there.
Likewise when the mental power is concentrated, and when you are determined to make the best of what you have.
Instead of your brain being occupied in the confusion of your life with what if, why this, that, this place, that job, those subjects, etc.
Right now, when you are entering your new job, when you are entering your first job...
This is a unique moment in the entire universe that has never happened before and will never happen again.
It is a unique opportunity!
Do not lose it in the mental confusion or mental fog, as we say it.
But try to turn on your full mental energy and focus on what is the best that I can do right now.
Carry faith and allegiance in your heart and mind.
Likewise when we enter a religious place...
We then close our eyes and pray to God in faith.
Therefore, it won't be old fashioned if you enter your institute, classroom, library or in your job.
Close your eyes for a moment, pray in faith and enter!
This is not any superstition.
Whenever a wrestler enters his arena, before that he closes his eyes to pray to his God.
Even when any artist before getting on stage, do the same; then why do not students have the same spirit?
This is my sole intention as when you are having #EkNayiShuruwatof your academic year, this should be there in your mind.
It is really important to consider that it's not about what you have, it's about what you make out of what you have!
There is much emphasis on the things like...
What is the name of your college?
This brand name is too good!
What recruiters were welcomed there last year, etc, all such sort of thing!
These are to just some degree important like not more than 10-20%
Much important thing here is what shall you do with the available resources that you have!!
It is great when a person's mindset is satisfied with whatever is there, is there.
Whatever it is, it is, I can't change it.
It at this time, am here in this small town's small college, going to do a diploma in ITI...
Whatever I may imagine in my mind, today, in a jiff, this moment is not going to change.
Today, my college, my books, my teachers, everything will remain the same.
Whatever it is at this time, it is!
Whatever I have gained today is all thanks to my previous thinking and actions.
And whatever I have today, and how I optimally utilise it determines what I shall gain in the coming future.
#EknayiShuruwat - A brand new beginning, I can only think of this 1 best example...
Example of the current chairman of ISRO - Mr Kailasavadivoo Sivan
You will be amazed to know and we don't need to look far beyond; he himself is a great model - Mr Kailasavadivoo Sivan
He is currently leading The Chandrayaan Mission.
Also, the current chairman of ISRO.
He is a farmer's son in Tamil Nadu.
Tamil medium, government school is where he studied.
He then, in the Madaras Institute of technology, took admission.
And his father admitted him to the nearest college from their home because...
His father wanted that after he is back from college, K. Sivanhe can help him in the fields.
He is from such a background!
And I meet youngsters nowadays, their minds are full of confusion.
Sir, my English is not that good!
My accent is not that good!
I am studied at the government school.
What is the best, excellent example that you can now find?
Currently, not only India's but the world's leading space agency's chairman Mr K. Sivan is a son of a humble farmer!!
Who studied at a Tamil medium, government school.
And whatever resources he received, he optimally utilised them.
And from there he raised high and is there at the top being a great example for others.
Great old proved goes - You need courage, not wings to fly, goals are achieved only by those who aspire high and dream big.
Some parents give beautiful wings to their kids! (Pun Intended)
What I mean by wings here is the resources...
iPhone, Ipads, latest laptops, cars, great institutes with heavy fee structures, etc.
But you need courage, not wings to fly!!
You need the vision to fly!
And the greatest example here again is of Mr Kailasavadivoo Sivan...
Who is currently leading ISRO!
Trying Chandrayaan to take to the south pole of the Moon, where no county is able to reach until today.
My best wishes are with his entire team.
And I think 2025 is the target for ISRO and India for a man mission to the moon.
India is one of the 4 countries that is trying to achieve this mission and it is such a motivation for all of us.
Another example that comes to my mind on the similar notes of starting from a humble background is...
The resources which are available, to use them optimally.
Mr Byju Raveendran!
If you haven't yet heard of him, kindly search for him over the internet and read about him.
He is a billionaire now, a US Dollar billionaire!
And again, he started from a small village in Kerela.
He was born there.
From a school in the same village, he obtained his education.
From a middle-class background and both of Mr Byju Raveendran's parents are teachers.
To improve his English, Byju Raveendran listened to the sports commentary in English.
He had improved his English from there.
He took admission in the engineering field.
He went to The US.
Life took a turn and he discovered that his passion was teaching.
He came back to India.
He started teaching and even the stadiums got house-full for his lectures.
Just for a single class, 10,000 to 15,000 students gathered up.
If you are talented, friends, you live in such India that none can stop you from succeeding.
Sometime back a video went viral of a lady singing song on the platform and today she is recording at the studios.
If you are talented and if you commit to developing that talent of your's...
Then I don't believe it necessary that you need to be admitted at Delhi's Mumbai's or Dehradun's top instituted.
You can be anywhere in Bihar, Chhattisgarh, or a small town in MadhyaPradesh, anywhere.
If you are talented and if you are committed, you can succeed anywhere in your life.
Mr Byju Raveendran's example is an important one here.
Only foreign IT companies have been able to sell their products in India.
Byju's app is the only app, only software service app which is going international from India.
They have recently tied up with Disney.
And their apps are going to be available internationally.
And this is again an example of a middle-class boy, the son of teachers from Kerela.
He studied in Malayalam medium, who improved his English from sports telecast.
And that is again a very very good example!
If a person wants to find examples to support his vision, there is no scarcity!
But the question is if your vision is positive or negative.
God forbid if your vision is negative, then also to support them you'll be able to find 1000's examples! (Pun intended)
It depends upon you, on your mindset.
Let me share with you my own college story as well.
Many times, while working with senior-level executives, CEO's of the companies, big corporate leaders...
Post my session as a motivational speaker, when I interact, there's a common question - Which school were you in, Simerjeet?
Which college did you go to, which city do you belong to?
To listening to my answers, they are astonished when I tell them...
stay tuned keep your comments coming and I will see you in the next part thank you
