00:00I tripled from my batch toppers and toppers in a department in IIT who dedicated all the energy of their
00:06life to topping.
00:08Now the fellow is burning the midnight oil, losing weight every night in cramming a subject that he has no
00:15affinity for.
00:17All right, he gets a CGPA of 9.2, 9.5 and then he goes on to do his MBA.
00:22I mean, the dude could have lived, right?
00:24The CGPA, instead of being 9.5, could have been 8.5 and he could have saved a lot of
00:31time and energy to really live.
00:33But he spent four years doing this and then after doing his B-Tech, the fellow did his MBA.
00:39What's the point?
00:40All that energy was spent just because you are a good boy who has been the class topper, the board
00:47topper.
00:48So now you must be the department topper in IIT as well.
00:52When he was in class 5, his mother had told him, you must always be the topper.
00:56So the fellow is spending all his energy in being the topper.
00:59But why?
01:00What's the point?
01:01Chill, relax, sleep.
01:02Won't that be far with her?
01:04And the result of this is that when we are faced with occasions that really require energy, we find ourselves
01:11short of energy.
01:12Then we can't do anything because a lot of our effort, our energy is being dissipated in meaningless tasks just
01:19to please everybody around.
