IntroduceYourself - I think, therefore I am.

Hey Steemit! As a small introduction of myself, I am an engineer in the making who loves to Learn, Explore and Experiment. Yeah, for anyone who finds me under the sun, That is who I am. I didn’t really want to have the conventional introduction as I have a tough time trying to explain myself to others, so I what have done instead is written down a very recent yet significant thought of mine, because I believe, if you know how a man thinks,you really do know the man.You think so? Let’s find out.

WHO AM I ?

I have been through a few things lately that have changed my perspective of knowledge and the learning process. I lost a loved one to an engineering failure, a system created by engineers,reputed ones, the ones we all trust. The gravity of the situation required me, as a student of engineering, think. It definitely could have been me because of whom, that man and countless others have lost their lives.And this, for me , started to make me question myself about a lot of things.

And in those answers I found, We've been pretending to learn, Learn for grades, a good job, a stable life.Is that learning afterall? Close your eyes and go back to your childhood,when you would learn for the satisfaction of feeding a curious mind,Remember how it felt? That was learning. But over time the idea of the learning process has changed into a very different one.
Over the days, I started to hold myself responsible for that man's life and many others that point on. Because I realised passing exams with straight A’s or getting placed at a renowned firm only fuels my over inflated facade for myself but guess what? For the society I live in, it gives them a sense of hope, comfort and trust towards me, only till there comes a time where I can’t even help myself let alone anyone else. I, then asked myself,”would I really be able to apply my learnings if there were a person in medical need, a doctor and me in a room?”. I didn’t have to wait for my question to end because my mind screamed “NO” even before I was done.
So, you tell me is it fair on any ground to behave like I have the knowledge to save humans with the beautiful science of engineering, when I really do not? There is no greater deception than the false pretence of a learned person.

I want to learn to make a difference, to feed my curious mind.All of you must have heard the quote that goes,”Curiosity killed the cat.” right? But what a lot of people do not know is that is just half true. The entire saying goes,”Curiosity killed the cat, and satisfaction brought it back.”
What I am looking for is knowledge and to create the right attitude to accept it.Because , knowledge really is power. So,what better place that a community full of writers? I assume We all, together, can do greater good for the generations to come. So hop in on this quest for knowledge? Let’s get started.
That’ll be MazeLearner for you!
