“It's funny that when people reach a certain age, such as after graduating college, they assume it's time to go out and get a job.

“You know, I was a nerdy kid going through high school, and then I got to college and that all vanished. I mean, a lot of my good friends - when we were in high school, we would never have been able to hang out together because we were in such different cliques or whatever.

“Depression makes you seek lonely places, and that is what I started doing during the second semester of my first year in college. The black creek, the woods, the empty fields, the old cemetery-anywhere away from people, away from their critical eyes.

“I moved here when I was 20 to go to college. After I moved here, I became much more aware of the importance of the culture and literature to my life. Sometimes when you're immersed in something, you just don't notice it very much. Moving away makes you appreciate your culture. Living here, I've thought more and more about India, and what being Indian-American means to me. And it's made me incorporate things from Indian literature into my own writing.” WritingMeanMadeSometimesMovingCultureLiteratureMy OwnCollegeAppreciateIndiaImportanceMovedIndianAmerican IndianMoving AwayAppreciate You Author:Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
“Believe things will work out. How was I ever to know that the girl who broke my heart in university would lead to my soulmate? How was I to know that the ‘dream job’ I was rejected from out of college would lead me to a year of entrepreneurship and adventure in Spain? How was I to know that taking a miserable job back in the states would be just the push I needed to vow to never do something I wasn’t passionate about again? Everything works out. I mean everything. As long as you believe it will. When you do, you will find the silver lining. That will take you to the next level.” KnowsYearsBelieveHeartMeanLongStatesDreamWould BeJobsGirlNextLevelsCollegeAdventureNeededMy HeartUniversityPassionateWork OutEntrepreneurshipMiserableBrokeSilverRejectedSoulmateSpainVowLeading MeNext LevelBroke My HeartDream JobThings Work OutThings Will Work OutMy SoulmateEverything Works Out Author:Steve Jobs
