Completing 8 years in USA, Here are 8 Brutal Truths I Learned!
1. In my childhood before coming here, I remember when I saw someone stealing my bike right in front of me. I picked up a brick and tried to scare him. Shouting “That’s my bike! Stop!” But the same thing happened in the US. I neither had the brake nor did the cameras give me the answer.
• “The Struggle is when you are surrounded by people and you are all alone.” • “Hard things are hard because your emotions are at odds with your logic.” • “Life is struggle. Embrace the struggle.” • “The Struggle is where greatness comes from.”
You would feel something similar, but become stronger as you fight more challenges! This taught me that I need to increase the rate of failure and automate it! For example, if I want to figure out if I want to be a data scientist, I would just do it. Sit next to a friend who is a data scientist and figure it out as soon as possible.
1. 40% of US workforce experience lay offs at least once in their career! 2. IBM's CEO Thomas Watson Sr. once refused to fire an employee who cost the company $600k, saying, 'I just spent $600,000 training him. Why would I let someone else hire his experience?' Your mistakes = lessons. Your value is greater than one setback. 3. It's more of their loss than your loss, increase your rate of failure to 2x than success. So Fail fast with as many opportunities as possible. 4. Failure is some sort of feedback, feedback is knowledge and knowledge is power. Therefore failure is power.
I feel the people who give more than 100%, but we have to keep trying!
Timing doesn’t always align, but persistence always pays off.

2022 and 2023 were full of similar near-misses, but that’s part of the journey.
In tech and in life, sometimes the stars don’t align right away. But every missed connection, every delay, builds resilience. What matters most is staying the course—because eventually, things will fall into place.
Keep showing up, keep moving forward, network keeps growing. Your moment is coming.

2. Struggle
Here I would quote Ben Horowitz
• “The Struggle is when you are surrounded by people and you are all alone.”
• “Hard things are hard because your emotions are at odds with your logic.”
• “Life is struggle. Embrace the struggle.”
• “The Struggle is where greatness comes from.”
