Article for the Lost BAs

Do you know how far the stars are? They are trillions and trillions of miles away. That light you see had been traveling and traveling for ages. And if you look up tonight it will reach you. Yes, at this very moment. It will find you. After a long journey through a dark universe, it will find its way. Light finds its way to you.

In your life as a BA if you feel lost and helpless just look at the stars and feel the light reaching you. Do this exercise. It's powerful. Because definitely in the end your dream will find its way.

We get lost in our lives at different stages when we cannot find directions. In this article, I talk about a few stages of the lives of BAs out there. Hope this article will show where the north star is to you. So invite you to go through the article to see if this is you who needs this at the moment.

At the very beginning, almost all are blurry.

When things are usually blurry normally you will go to the store and buy spects. Same, you will have to change the way you see things, with new pair of eyes. At moments like this new perspective helps always. If you are a person who is not a BA and wants to become one. But still, no prospects are there. Don't just stay in the same place but look at different ways of becoming a BA. As I told light takes a journey to arrive at its destination. Take a journey with learnings. Even though it takes time, just let it be. You will be okay. Keep trusting the stars, their light, and their destiny.

The other goes to the youngsters who want to become a BA but cannot even fund their education to start with. At this stage never do cheap diplomas or do at never heard of institutes. Never compromise your education. Do a proper IT degree at a proper institute.

If you have this issue with funding there are 2 very good choices for you. All ways you need to change the lens of how you look at things.

  1. Go to a relative who is proud of you and who can support you. This can be an uncle or an aunt for the initial funding of your education. The ego should not be a barrier. It should be like the dark universe. Your destiny should find its way passing all this darkness. That's what's important. Today we have very diverse families which consist of people with all classes of income. It's just about identifying that kind of person and just reaching out. You won't find people like that outside your family who can help like this. That's why it's a family. So just reach. Change the lens.
  2. This is the other option. It's to go for a loan. If you are starting fresh and need to do a proper degree in a good institute go for a Student loan or a Personal loan. With time things will get okay. Start working small. And pay your loan little by little. Trust me when you find out that after some time your loan finally is over, and in your cupboard you have your degree laminated, that satisfaction and pride you get about yourself are second to nothing. Trust me. I had felt the same.

Next is the BA who is lost in heart and soul. Who is going through a phase of quitting or even giving up his life. You are our most important flower. You are the daffodil of the scrum. Then the firefly to your BA family. We are a community of fireflies who light the environment. A light of its own. So when your light is dimming talk to the next firefly. Ask for a light. All these fireflies around you are like you, they will help to get you back to yourself. To light you and make you fly again. To fly again in the dark environment passing light to others' lives.

These are a few of you. But there are many of us going through different struggles. Fighting for our own light, to make the light in our hearts alive in this dream profession.

So Friends, Never Doubt a Thing. These things pass. All things pass. Just believe. Believe just like that light taking its journey through a dark universe to reach you.
