Road to success has never been so easy. One is bound to encounter ups and downs in this journey. Hard work, consistency, discipline are some of the factors that need to be practiced religiously in order to achieve success.
I’ve worked hard over the years, I’ve been injured and I’ve worked hard through it, and I’ve made it. – Usain Bolt
The 2016 Olympic games had nations from around the World fight it out at Rio not just for glitz, but for glory, and to prove an individual’s prowess and mettle. Olympic has and will always be every athlete’s greatest dream. Olympic is the one and only event that brings every nation to equality, proving void of any means of discrimination that exists. It is fascinating to see how Olympic – a sports meet of such magnitude has managed to be untouched by politics and discrimination, hence it represents the highest degree of success, an individual can achieve.
Usain Bolt (the fastest man alive) is not an unfamiliar name. He has not only broken almost every possible record in sprint, but has managed to stay unbeaten for over 15 years and that’s an extraordinary feat. In order to compose and corroborate this article, I began to watch videos and read about his life and I was left with the following statement, “Usain Bolt needed success, but success needed Usain Bolt even more”. How did Usain Bolt make success come in pursuit of him? What made him the person the whole world knows him as and for? The answer is simple yet effective: Usain Bolt proved to be the right contender and that’s the reason success needed him. Now that you know the answer, it’s time for some introspection. Are you the right contender in your field of work and expertise? The mere knowledge of what and how doesn’t make an individual the right contender. As an engineer if you’ve been banking only upon the knowledge that you have carried forward from your Universities, you’re not the right contender and it’s time to step up.

Rewrite Your Story

Age of Artificial Intelligence
It’s hard to know what to think about Artificial Intelligence these days. Almost everyone in the industry believes it to be a revolution as deep and as fundamental as the industrial revolution or the birth of the computer. Yet the field seems divided over when we will get to general intelligence and what that will ultimately mean for us. Some believe it will be our greatest invention yet and others that it may lead to our doom.
