Life’s lessons from engineering

My four years in engineering taught me a fair bit about life too. Here’s some of them:

1. Making mistakes may not be the easiest way to learn something, but these lessons last longest.
2.  Somebody knows the answer, you only need to ask.
3. The sanest people lose all rationality when swayed by emotions. Try not to let your emotions rule you.
4. People change. If you can change like them, great- else move on.
5. Your efforts will not always be tangibly awarded. The process matters more than the end.
