Perspective

Perspective is one of the hardest things to learn—or to change.

During my Bachelor’s in Computer Engineering, I had the wrong perspective on life. I wasn’t there to grow or prepare for the future—I was just there. Most days were spent bunking classes, playing basketball, and hanging out with friends. Fun, yes, but I ignored the bigger picture: preparing for a career. Honestly, if there had been a way to get the degree without studying, I would have taken it.

The result? On the marksheet, everything looked fine, but in reality I graduated with almost nothing—no solid programming knowledge, no design skills, not even enough to land an unpaid internship. That was my wake-up call.

I felt like I had cheated myself and wasted my parents’ money. That guilt lit a fire. I picked up PHP, taught myself for a couple of months, and eventually landed an internship. Step by step, I built skills.

Today, I run my own IT company. What changed wasn’t luck or talent—it was perspective.

Same situation, two people → different outcomes because of different perspectives.
If you want to do better in any situation, you must raise the perspective from which you look at it.

Lately, I’ve been putting myself in situations that make perspective shifts easier. With our product Masteriyo LMS, we partnered with a European company as a joint venture—not for money, but for growth. I wanted to see how they think, plan, and build.

On the surface, it looks similar to how we work, but my perspective has changed. I now have a strong belief that we are moving toward our vision and goals much faster.

So, if you are looking for growth in personal or professional life, yes—you need to build skills, learn, and work hard.
But above all, you need to change your perspective, with the belief that you can do better.
