University is a learning experience for all. You learn more about yourself more than anything. I figured I\u2019d talk about how I have changed through this incredible journey.<\/p>\n

On many instances I found myself constantly feeling disappointed in myself. Often, I would find myself not being able to achieve what my peers had. They were instinctively smart and technically capable. I, on the other hand, had to invest more time and effort in a particular task than what was normally required. I end up wasting more time than necessary, understanding and mastering concepts and technical skills. Of course, no one\u2019s really a master in anything; some just know more about a small\u00a0topic within a much larger encyclopedia than somebody else. It\u2019s relative.<\/p>\n

I knew myself and I wasn\u2019t going to fool myself into thinking I didn\u2019t have flaws. I knew my flaws and how they limited my abilities. I understood how they affected me. Some, I knew I can\u2019t change. For instance, some people have the ability to very quickly grasp a concept. Some can\u2019t. I normally can but when I can’t, I tended to feel disappointed, which I knew was a very bad mindset to nurture.<\/p>\n

To overcome challenges like this, I believed I needed a very special attitude. I needed to accept that I can\u2019t just wake up one morning and turn into a knowledge-absorbing sponge. What I needed was acceptance and perseverance. Accept that I\u2019m not like others when it comes to learning and applying knowledge and persevere through challenges relentlessly till I’ve achieved what I\u2019ve set out to achieve.<\/p>\n
