Reality Check

A day of review for my assessments that are coming up.. I realize that I've talked about doing work more than actually doing it this time around compared to last time's preparation so I true to make up for it in the second half of the day. The first half was productive as well but more for other subjects that are not as urgent I feel. Another realization I came across was that reviewing material before testing yourself actually gives you a reality check on where you stand and how much you actually remember. It's not rocket science or anything ground-breaking but it feels like it when you learn it from your own experience. But all in all, happy with what I've achieved so far in the preparation. More work to be done tomorrow for Linear Algebra mainly. Caught a line by the Indian actor, Amitabh Bachchan today on television.. 'Jaise ghar mein ghee he deeye jalatey ho, vaise apne jeevan mein, gyaan ke deep jalao'. It was in relation with a festival that is coming up, Deepavali! The Festival of Lights and the metaphorical eradication of darkness from one's mind and thoughts. The meaning of his line was that we may light oil lamps but we must learn from that act and light out life's path with lamps fueled by our knowledge for THAT is the true medium by which we can rid ourselves from the figurative darkness of ignorance. And with that thought, I shall take rest for a new day tomorrow. I anticipate a very productive and good day.
