The image collage has a glimpse of my Ethical Hacking & Cyber Security (EH1-Infotech Cybersecurity) Journey since 2010. You can know more about my work at my official website at https://eh1infotech.com/.
Previous years were full of hard work, which I have never thought of doing during my childhood. My story of the life I have been into for the last many years is so long that I can't finish it one day. But still, I will try to pen it down.
Now the question arises that why I am writing my own story over here with this article. It is just that what level I have achieved today seems fascinating, but in the backdrop, it has hard-working day and night journeys that usually don't express out from the captivating photographs I post. And, my good time may substitute for my hard time. But I don't want to forget the struggling days of my life. And thanks to those who were a part of my life journey. Yes, I love writing too, so I am penning it down. And, if you like reading, then also my struggle story can be of interest to you.
I am specially writing this article for those who knew me since childhood and still believe that my luck is excellent, so I have achieved so many things. Let them read my life journey entirely to understand that there were risks, struggles, and hard work for every step. And, it has never left me mid-ways with luck. They have only seen what I have shared on social media, i.e. good glimpse as always by all.
I am sharing my struggle and hard work so that if you are going through effort or hard work, remember never to quit. If you have never gone through a similar life phase or struggle and hard work, my story might also motivate you to work for your passion. Usually, on social media, I do always upload the best of the best photo. But this article will touch on my background journey of mine. I believe you are reading this article because you may have thought of me as you know me. But now, I want you to have a complete acceptance of knowing me fully.
Even if you are a family mate, close friend, ex-employee & student, you could be knowing a part of the struggle I have faced. I had done hard work and made some decisions when I met issues, but nobody knows everything. So I will try to write new articles. I am not writing this article to gain likes or shares. I am writing my own story for those who want to know about it. And, that is the reason that you are reading up to this sentence. I will write the next article soon! My struggle toward my passion is still not over, but a phase of life has passed. And up to that, I can share my learning will all.
I am especially writing for my old connection as well as for the new one. They usually have several questions to be answered. Moreover, I am never able to answer all of them completely. Now sincerely I do not want to stick my mind to the past and invest my time in answering it. Therefore, I want to write about every single struggle and hardship I have faced in the past. So, that I can quietly give 100% to my current venture of mine without being engaged with anyone about the past.
Early & College Life
I was born and brought up in Fazilka, Punjab, India. Despite securing good marks in 10th Standard (ICSE) 2004, I have secured below first division in 12th Standard (PSEB) 2006. The reason was that I was not focused on my studies as I got distracted easily, and wandering out in the city was a past-time hobby.
After dropping one year, I realized my mistake of not being focused on my career and recognized to have a deep interest in computers & mobiles. So, I have taken admission for B.Tech in Information Technology at LPU, Jalandhar, in 2007. There, I have pledged to myself that I will achieve big in life, so therefore studied day & night in engineering to reach a position among the first five toppers out of around 250 students in the same course.
Instead, I have self-studied in the first semester to clear the exams only but studied that much hard that I have ended up becoming the topper. Then there was not even a single day that I have relished my college life as becoming a class topper brings other students alliance targets as topper will always remain topper every semester. I still remember my roommates at the hostel were fed up with my habit of keeping the room lights ON as I have studied while others slept. There was not even a single date that I slept properly.
Stay Tuned! Keep Reading, I will write the next article soon. You may write your thoughts as a comment on the article.
I know you could be thinking that I am not highlighting what mistakes I have made at every level. So my answer for the same is that for this article it is up to you to judge the right path or wrong path. And, I will definitely open up for the same with the next article. But in my case, I listen to this youtube video every day https://bit.ly/3pj8Zw0 (Serenity Prayer) as I can't change anything in the past.
