Scary But This Can Change Your Life - Life's Lessons | Weekly Talks

[@worldoftech3291]

hi bro i just turned 15 and asked my mother a phone of 15k but after i wacthed your video last week i rejected the idea of mine to buy it and started saving money by doing home works along with my offline classes of 10th and by getting groceries, and all the homely chores, and many of them taking care of my brother vagera, and really understood and told my mom i would like to save money and buy the phone in june, and i really mean it and i felt it from the bottom of my heart.......

[@GeekyRanjitRidesVlogs]

Wow I am humbled... you would do great in your life... best of luck!

[@jitd9716]

On a lighter note, by the time you save the money needed, I bet you will get many other new phones in the market for the same price, may be with better specs, so it's really a win-win for you! Good luck!

[@chaitanya1440]

I know a friend from a rather humble background who saved money for almost 3 years and instead of buying new phone for himself, he gifted an iPhone 13 to his father recently. People like you are really inspiring

[@csajal]

I could hear myself in Ranjit's insights. Same passion for coding and burning the candle both ways

[@vikaschaudhary9119]

You are right sir

[@nagarjunayt]

The implicit message of this video is not to ask everyone start something of their own. It is to identify - if you belong to the top 2 or 3 percentile of that particular field in terms of subject matter expertise/skill - if you have the freedom to choose an irregular income over a monthly salary - if you have the patience, perseverance and motivation to keep moving forward no matter what comes in your way - if you have the ability to showcase your skills to the target audience - if you have the risk appetite to live and sail through any ups and downs that you encounter in your entrepreneurial journey So, think before you act.

[@pradeepdm6972]

Exactly 💯.

[@armada70]

The top 2%-3% thing mentioned is NOT true in the internet age. In a services based business brand matters more, the best freelancers are the most well known not the most skilled. Freedom & free time is true wealth. I started my business journey 2 years ago with $0 and a laptop & I'm loving it. Right now having my own E-commerce business and creating several SaaS. Have you started your own business as well?

[@nagarjunayt]

@@armada70 Good that you found your calling. While it's good as long as it lasts, can you create a business for perpetuity? Something which lives on without you. How long can Ranjit himself survive with what he's doing now forever! I don't have a business. But when I think about one, what worries me is how long it lasts..

[@nagarjunayt]

@@armada70 in the long run what matters even for a Services based business is the service quality and not just the brand recall. E.g. IIPM had the best recall for a B-School 10 yrs back. Where is it now! Kodak and Nokia were synonyms for camera and mobile phones. Where are they now!

[@srmetallica11]

Oh damn! I remember Funtoosh sms jokes being circulated during my college times. Early Nokia days. I have also quit my job last year and working on my start-up. It took more than an year to get our 1st project but I guess we kept working and had patience. Yes there were some days where we felt like that was a big mistake but it takes time to get over. Since I have a business partner with me so we kept motivating each other in our down time. Thank you for your wonderful words Ranjit. Take care.

Being a developer in an IT company, this particular video will help me a lot to move ahead further in my life. Thank you very much sir, for teaching such a good lesson "YOU SHOULD BE DAMM GOOD IN YOUR DOMAIN AND YOU MUST BE CAPABLE WHAT EVER YOU ARE DOING IN YOUR JOB", I will always remember these words. It will be really help me a lot to succeed in my life. 😊

[@harshitagrawal6302]

I am 23🙋‍♂, Started my first job 2 weeks back (Covid messed with me for 2 years 🙋‍♂🤣). Always wanted to do my own thing (freelancing). After watching this video I feel that I won't be sticking to this 9 to 6 for more than a year. Thanks a lot sir for this very precious advice.

I also had that fire for research, but that fire is nearly extinguished lately, since the start of the lockdown. But this video motivated me a lot, I will be looking forward to more such videos. 👍

[@GeekyRanjitRidesVlogs]

Yeah that's another thing.... to keep yourself motivated is also an important thing.

[@ramanadsv]

Amazing journey of life, many of us resonate to it. Thank you for these wonderful vlogs of life lessons 👍

[@joshuaemmanuelfrancis2703]

I could see myself in your shoes Ranjit, People have recognised my worth and have said you have what it takes to be an entrepreneur and to be a job provider rather than just seeking it and being good at it. I was looking for a sign since there are a lot of things to consider and here I got this from you, the person who I look up to from my childhood. Thank you Sir Ranjit this was really the boost I needed. May God bless you. With love, Joshua Emmanuel Francis.

[@GeekyRanjitRidesVlogs]

Best of Luck :)

[@mohdfayaq3037]

Didn’t knew that Ranjit was such a hardcore engineer. I can totally relate to the points mentioned, I was in TCS and it totally boiled me down when I get to knew my billing rate. And yes totally you need to prove through projects etc that you’re capable, even now a days you need to prove recruiters with projects on your resume. But the tech sector does had grown a-lot specially in India. And Indians are not low level workers anymore. But still yeah nothing beats than having your own venture. Wanted to start freelancing on the side. This had encouraged me even more.

[@preethamsai]

This video for a guy like me who is kick starting a career in software industry is a boon.Honestly,i do want to start something on my own and I know I have the calibre but still I've joined a MNC just to know how things work there ,the culture,and obviously work experience and a lot of other things.This video is just amazing and insightful.Continue doing these kind of videos sir.

[@stacksmasherninja7266]

Not only do you have to be extremely good at what you're doing, you also have to be extremely good at negotiations. I freelanced while doing my bachelors. I didn't get paid ANYTHING because I didn't know how to negotiate in my 2nd year of degree. Since 3rd year, I started to negotiate better, started getting bigger projects and bigger checks. I earned enough money in my third year that I didn't go for an industry internship and rather went for a fairly low-income research internship. That's kinda when I realised that research is a lot better. Now I'm in grad school pursuing research all thanks to the confidence I gained during the negotiations and the communication skills I picked up along the way. Doing something on your own is definitely worth it !

[@reubendias18]

I tried that stunt of simply leaving, it didn't work. It just shows that you really need to be extremely good at your work, especially your strengths. Make yourself irreplaceable, find your own path and succeed in life.

[@kumar_ankit28]

[@flutedna]

Truly relatable, having born in a family of hereditary musicians, while growing up, education of music was mandatory, my formal training started back in 2007 by my father and grandfather, but its entire network was totally offline, with rigid "guru shishya parampara", performances at venues and concerts in the most traditional way , after seeing growth of internet in our country, 5 years back, i took the chance, i started uploading tutorial videos, (taking my art online), and VOILA!!! at this age of 24 with bunch of learners worldwide, having a good financial freedom, Moral of the story : just explore!!!, you never know, when your stars, align with you. Indian classical Music enthusiast as heartily welcome :)

[@iamabhirupdatta]

True sir, I am like you. Joined Infosys and then got an offer into a startup within 1 year, cracked DSA.Worked in startups for 5 years, and then building my own company.If my company grows (hopefully), I will make sure not to "exploit" employees in "chindi" salaries.

[@mdzaid5925]

I am 24, just as you said , in top 3-4% at my organization. Sort of a handyman person whom you can assign a task and consider it done without any assistance. The only catch is India has very big population and there are certainly lakhs of people who are equal or better than me, alot of them having the same aspiration. Also Market is atleast a 1000x more bigger, and there are alot of people looking to grab same opportunities. Not to mention, projects were alot more simpler too. During college, Tried to get started through freelancer & upwork but failed to get projects. Maybe will try to become a contractor after gaining some experience in my current company , but getting full fledged projects is certainly not feasible at this point.

[@raonejatkhan5097]

I myself am a Software Developer, in my early 20s , working relentlessly and sometimes even till late at night. I also feel the same brother .... At the end of the day that satisfaction is still not there despite all the hardwork i do.... Really a great advice from you.

[@NilachandanMohanty]

It's good to hear from somebody from your own domain and age about the profession which we both were/are in. To be an expert in your domain (particularly in Web Application Development), you need to spend enough time in small companies with good projects. Then only one can become full stack developer. With right talent, one can learn a lot in small companies. I'm still working(coding) for small startups, as it is more challenging though not rewarding enough. I charge very less, so that I can do very challenging stuffs at my pace. At the age of 50, I still learn new technologies each year though not each day. Thank you bro for sharing your experience with us.

it's true that listed companies like say wipro, cognizant..TCS etc pays just 5% of the project cost to employees as cost of employees... This can be found from their p&l and balance sheet...

[@ieltsbyahmed8392]

Hi Ranjit. My story is similar. I used to work for a prominent institute as an IELTS trainer. They used me as a slave. They used to pay me 15 thousand per month, using me as a commodity by continuously forcing me to take sessions even when others were present. After a year, I came to realise that my potential was so high that I outperformed other trainers there and was the charm on the organisation. They were reluctant to boost my salary despite my umpteen efforts to help students clear their tests. The monthly income of the company was 10 lakh plus and my salary was 15 thousand 😐 Later, my manager was literally a mercenary and finally the time came when I quit and I can proudly say, I have my own IELTS institute today and it's the institute with highest success rate ❤️

[@GeekyRanjitRidesVlogs]

I had completed CDAC.... but to be frank, you don't need degree if you are very good... I have taken interviews for smaller companies earlier and I never even looked at the resume or degress they had. I used to ask them what are they good at and based on that give them a small real life test and decide based on that to hire them or not. Fancy degrees don't matter to me if you can't do the job.

[@debdeepbhattacharjee]

Thanks for continuing with the series! The points that you made were good. But I would like to add some points. 1) Everyone is not built for business/freelance as most of us are not being able to solve problems. If your business can't solve a problem, then what's the point? 2) Nothing wrong with a job if you love doing what you do. But not getting fair pay & treatment definitely is.

same realization hit me when I got to know how much client was paying for the job.

on the flipside if you like your 9:00 to 6:00 job and incapable of managing the stress that comes with being an entrepreneur. sticking to your current job is fine aswell.

[@theslammer1999]

But 9-5 would keep you sooo busy that you will get no/less time to do other things in life.... like travelling,. Friends, family, love,. Hobbies, interests.....
