Learning from life one step at a time
Learning new things has always been a constant force in my life. I like trying new things, love to take risks, and never get afraid of failures in life. There is always learning involved in each step and that's what drives me.I am just another guy from a hamlet that has not changed ever since. I grew up in a modest home, with parents willing to sacrifice their part of bread for my education and they did. I have been raised lavishly in terms of education in a family that could not afford it. From a very young age, I knew I had to be their backbone, I had to at least try to repay them for spoiling me so well. Hence, I never took my education for granted.
I studied hard. Throughout school, I made sure to be competitive, to be the first in line. When I finished school, I chose the line of education I knew would pay me well. I did not get into an esteemed college the first time, so I dropped a year. Gained perspective about life, family, and everything else I could from that one year. Dropping that one year changed my life, made me who I am right now, or at least used to be before the pandemic.
I have always lived a life of simplicity. A life that is not led by the materialistic attraction of this world but through nature, peace, and sustenance. Here, when I say sustenance, I mean preserving the qualities that make me who I am. I am a commoner, never having the dream of being in the limelight, even if it’s for the right things.
Apart from that, the only thing essential in my life is travel. Traveling and connecting with nature is therapeutic to me, an essential that keeps me sane.
The people and culture brought me to DevRev. Right from the start of the interview process, I can see the people possess the four cultural values and it convinced me greatly to get onboard on a journey of learning and creating something great together.
