DomainK Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 Best : Pursuing engineering as a career. Worst : I started smoking when I was 18, just for fun but can't give up yet:banghead: Interesting because I think my one of my best decisions was not to pursue engineering as a career. Another decision that looked like a bad decision to everyone else around me was to decide not to pursue programming as a career. My worst decision was when I joined a my friends who were going to confront another very angry and armed group. I somehow managed not to get arrested. Another decision I repent big time was when I turned down a VVIP pass to the India-Australia test in Mumbai in 2004.:((
EnterTheVoid Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 Best: 1. Pursuing an engineering career 2. Going to the Adelaide Oval for the third day of the second test between Australia and India during the 2004 Border - Gavaskar series in Australia. Dravid and Laxman made another 300 + run partnership and Dravid ended the day on 199 not out. Managed to pat Dravid on the back as he was escorted to the team bus through a crowded mob 3. Maintaining deep and meaningful relationships with friends from primary school, without losing touch Worst: Brings back bad memories. I rather not share.

Zelig Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 I had huge aspirations to become a professional cricketer during my school days but my dad thought otherwise. I guess it was a bad decision by my father.
Sachinism Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 I had huge aspirations to become a professional cricketer during my school days but my dad thought otherwise. I guess it was a bad decision by my father. I think we all had those aspirations :giggle: j/k How do you think you're chances were. Talent wise among your peers, did you totally outclass them? What was the highest level of cricket you played?

What was the highest level of cricket you played? I used to bowl really fast during my school days but it was all tennis ball cricket until the Inter-class tournament which was held during my seventh grade. I ended up as the second highest wicket taker and that got me a chance to represent my school at under 15 level. My cricket coach was really impressed with me and he asked me to join the coaching camp during that summer vacation . Just when things were looking good,I fell very ill just after that Inter-class tournament and I was on medic leave for more than month, I just managed to appear for my annual exams. My father felt it was 'cause of cricket that I fell ill and my body is not up to it. So he asked me to stay away from cricket and concentrate on my studies. My cricket coach tried his best to convince my father, but my dad wouldn't budge. I don't claim that I would have made it and all but I was not even given a chance to prove my worth. There are a lot of kids like me in our country. ... no hard feelings though.

Zelig Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 Can Don Sharma certify this!!! :orderorder: He was quick. But I think it was the right decision by my father at that time.
Ram Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 Don’t believe we can classify anything as a good/bad decision per se. Every major decision you make takes you on a certain path. Who knows where that path will take you? When I started doing my masters, it didn’t take long for me realize that the I wasn’t passionate enough in the field of engineering/science for me to truly enjoy my course and get the best out of it. Back then, I used to kick myself for not being self-aware and for wasting time doing a degree that I wasn’t 100% committed to. But doing that degree helped me get land a decent job and meet some unbelievably professional and hardworking people who have enriched my worldview. So, now I don’t feel that bad. Of course, if you do some unbelievably dumb things like stealing or cheating or consuming drugs, there’s no need to contemplate about the impact those things will have on your life.
