Day 5 — Weekend Vibes

Having Sunday as only one day free for self, I try to make the most of it.

This post is an initiative taken by me to write my daily diary, Although it is Sunday, and I am in no mood of writing, but still I have to write because its something I have challenged myself, to change myself, to improve myself in a better possible way. Writing daily diary will put me in a position to rethink if I am seriously utilizing my days. I do not have much to write today, because I didn't do much work. I have completed the book Leaders eat last. It took me around 8 hours to complete this book. My reading speed is not fast, and I started reading books in 2017, not because of interest but because of research made on successful people by me, and one important point came out to be was that those kinds of people read a lot. And I am not good with my English, you may have already analyzed it if you have read any of my posts. But it doesn’t matter whether my English is good or not, but I know if I kept on reading books and writing blogs, my English will definitely improve. I think being successful was always something I want to become, but in which field I really don’t know about. I like reading books on leadership, entrepreneurship, successful people. These kinds of books motivate me or teach me something new always in this journey of becoming successful.

And now I will make sure that I don’t start anything in between which is not related to my goal. One and only goal currently is to get a job in a good company. Only after achieving that target, I will start with anything else. But I am not giving my 100%, and achieving such targets I feel like we need to give more than 100%. I did a few data structure questions too, but it was all orally, I haven’t started solving problems on my own. After reading blogs and watching videos of some software engineers placed in good companies, I got to know that I need to solve all the problems on my own rather than searching on the internet. If after few hours of struggle I am not able to solve the problem, only in that case I should open the internet for hints, not for the whole solution and only this is the way I can get prepared for interviews. I cannot say for the whole interview but for the data structure round.

I also have to improve my communication skills, as I discussed in my previous post, finding out someway I can do that. At least I should be able to explain work done by me. I will soon start writing daily learnings. Blogs are already there which will include everything on my struggles if I faced any. Currently, I am facing only one struggle which is not able to do my daily tasks due to procrastination and it is serious one, I have to get over it, today also I wasted lot of time on Instagram. I have decided to remove all social networking apps from my mobile, so as to avoid distractions.

Today I created an account on pramp.com and scheduled myself for a mock interview on data structure next Sunday. And this week I will prepare like it’s my actual interview so that I can perform well. And I will surely share my experience with you all

Girl, you are incredible, it is all in your mind. Everything starts from the mind if you think you can make it, you will make it. All is you have to start work for it. And I will make it one day.

Happy Reading!!!
