4 Days to go......

Here i am sitting in my room in facing into a global economic condition which might actually become the Second Great depression.....
This is not a great time for looking for a job especially a summer job when the employers kind of know that you would not add much value. Anyway its been 3 painfully long month that all of us have been preparing for these 5 days approaching us, All this for the sake of those 2 months which can according to some more informed people supposed to be life changing. A batch of 300 with atleast 200 still hoping to see the ray of hope called a "shortlist", this one name on the Place Board seems to be as big as the life itself. Its a very thought provoking situation for me now, though before I get into that I have to confess that i was also desperately waiting for a shortlist and had to spend a couple of painful days thinking why me! But i am glad that the self realisation occured. So, Now back to the observation. Why do these things become so important in one of the top 3 B-Schools of this country. Everyone of the 300 peresent would not just besuccessful but would actually become a part of the top 1% of this country. But then if i realise this i am sure other also do.
The interesting part is the reason that because of us start attaching so much importance to it , I just seems too big to be true. Its a giant of terror we created for ourselves. Success and failure are never so short term. Life should be given a chance to unfold before we judge the experience called Life!
That brings me back to one of my earlier posts : Life is an Aimless Rat Race!!!!!
When would be stop running to compete and start running to achieve! Which would not make us comparatively happy, rather really happy :)
