As human we have multiple path and field that we can take and be successful in our life, college and professional career. Sometimes we are not sure what path we should take that we know will be successful for us.
Figure 1: Route to Success
One of the most important lesson I have learned from the book called Deep Work that I think everyone should learn and understand is no matter what happen you should never gave up. If one thing doesn’t work your way then there is many other options available that you can choose its just matter of fact to choose a different path. Main goal is to believe in yourself.
Figure 2: Believe and Succeed
Believing in yourself, putting all you hard work and effort will eventually make you successful. Just try, try again until you don’t get to the point where you want to see your self.
Focus is one of the keep component that we individuals can easily can lose track of it. We get easily distracted. Deep Work suggested to do mediation to help you focus. I have personally tried the technique of meditation and added to my daily morning habit. It help me focus and calm my brain. As students we already have so much stress in our life meditation can help student to relax their mind. I also think student can also do exercise or listen music to relax their mind and not think about anything when they are doing a relaxing activity.

We should also explore our knowledge to be successful. I feel its not only important to get your knowledge in one specific category. You should also have a knowledge of what has been happening around you. As many of my professor suggested you should do your research and homework on a topic before you provide an opinion. As its very important to have a solid evidences and source to prove you point. So its very important to explore your knowledge in every point of view that can be utilized in your defense.

Knowledge can be waste if you don’t know how to implement it. Shouldn’t matter how big or small the knowledge can be. For example, after taking this course and getting all the knowledge to be successful in college but I don’t implement the knowledge in my daily life or college career then it would be waste of taking the class.

These are the couple things I will remember rest of my life and wanted to share with other students. I don’t want you guys to stress or panic if something is not working the way you expected. That’s why there are multiple routes in life we have that we can choose from. Just Believe in yourself!
