Since it's exam vibes here rn , wanted to share something that my Interviewer told me in my undergrad P.I

Upon looking at my co-curricular achievements they asked
" But What good is all this for pursuing a BBA ? "
And I approached this question very systematically 1/n

And said since I've played this sport or participated in so and so activity , I've identified room for improvement and could leverage this knowledge into creating a better product/service.

I was very satisfied with the answer but quickly realized this wasn't the answer that 2/n

They were looking for , judging by their facial expressions.
I tried to improvise and tried adding to my answer.
But apparently , they weren't satisfied with all of the "SMART" answers that I had to offer.
They asked me if I knew how "Calligraphy helped Steve Jobs"
3/n

And I had no clue.
So they told me that Jobs never knew how Calligraphy would help him WHILE he was learning it.
IN LIFE YOU FIND THE APPLICATION AND MEANING OF THINGS AND HOW THEY'VE HELPED YOU ONLY WHEN YOU *LOOK BACK*
You , who is reading this rn.
4/n

You don't know how this tweet will help you in actualisation of a material goal you have in life , atleast not right now.
But some time down the line , you might use this piece of information or your interpreted meaning of this information TO CREATE SOMETHING USEFUL.
5/n

Especially the failures in life , IT'S FRUSTRATING RN.
But always remember that if Jobs wouldn't have dropped out of his college , he probably wouldn't have studied calligraphy and COMPUTERS WOULDN'T HAVE HAD FONTS.
Yes ! Arguably Jobs invented fonts by studying something 6/n

Which clearly has very little or no relation to building computers !
Calligraphy ? Computers ?
Distant, right ?

RESULT ACHA NAI AAYA AAJ , LEKIN KAL SAMAJH AYEGA YEH CHEEZ BHI KAISE ACHHI HAY APKE LIYE.

Khush raho dost
