data science Archives - Hope With Anirban

On what subject(s) are you an authority?

I am not an authority on anything. But I love many things.

I love …

But I’m average at them.

And the funniest part is I don’t even intend to make them into a career.

But I love them regardless.

I’ve been admitted to NIMHANS for the last 2 months and I have learnt many things about myself.

And I got many compliments for my singing and badminton skills.

And I think I might continue doing them.

Other than that I have a career to look after which is in data science.

I’m also average in data science.

I feel like I need to focus on one thing.

But I also feel like I have no sense of direction or clarity.

I don’t know where life will lead me.

But I … I’m confused I guess.

Anyways thanks for reading this sentence. It means a lot.

What do you wish you could do more every day?

Study and Work

I wish I could study and work more every day.

I study and work on projects sometimes related to my MBA Data Science degree.

But I get tired and get mood swings.

I bet everyone gets these mood swings when sitting down to study.

But they study regardless of their mood.

I need to work on my “study regardless of their mood” aspect.

My bipolar disorder is also responsible for my difficulties in studying long hours.

It’s not like I don’t want to study and work. It’s just that I can’t.

Writing helps me tremendously to cope with the frustration of being unable to study.

But I guess I need to draw a line between what I can do and what I expect myself to achieve.

What I can do is – study for 2 hours.
What I expect myself to achieve is – study 4-5 hours.
What I can do is – go out with family, friends, relatives, etc. and sometimes alone to the barber’s saloon.
What I expect myself to achieve is –
- to travel from my town to the city by bus, or
- take a public transportation facility,
- to talk to strangers,
- to make friends,
- to go to regular/offline university, etc.
What I can do is – be satisfied and work hard for uplifting genuine values like honesty, integrity, generosity, etc.
What I expect myself to achieve is – to achieve external success that has no meaning expect earning more money.

What I can do and what I expect myself to do are two different things. They are not the same things.

Sure I can aim to study more but I need to be satisfied with what I have.

I can try to study and work for 3 hours next time. Or may 2.5 hours.

Because my circumstances are different.

Wanting more isn’t always necessary because we don’t need to compare ourselves with others.

I need to take it slow.

I’m glad you’re reading this line. Thanks a lot!
