Thoughts on 18 yr old leading a team

Do you know why people doubt 18 year old ?

Maturity in Marketing, Promotions, Team Management, Decision Making, Investments, and Legal Procedures matter!

Before I conclude your answer, I would like to put myself as an example.

My life was as normal as everyone who live around me, running race for best for admissions in best universities in India, looking for marks, working for IIT JEE ranks, and now for jobs, salaries or higher studies then name and fame which is just normal. This is what 99% people in my environment in last 4 years used to do.

But I was Abnormal, people call me Alien because my thoughts and behavior was very much different.

To prove you, I should talk about my last 7 years.

• I was called as an show piece in my 9th std if I actively participate in any opportunity I get. Well, I experienced Bullying.
• I’m known for Dance in my campus, I got to experience what popularity is, and simultaneously I’ve done lot of attitude mistakes. But I did learn from them thought couldn’t stop negativity around me.
• I was in 8th Standard. I’m all alone. I used to heard negativity among my friends about me… Sorry, Just classmates.
• I was just 10th Std, I used to get threatening talks. (You might feel those are as small as my age. It’s where we unknowing underestimate everyone.)
• I could get myself lot of times on stage among 1000s of students around. Well I experienced what insults are.
• I’m also one of those toppers, what parents want me to be. I know what it feels like in which I’m not at all interested in.
• I failed to reach my expectations in my 10th results. But made my heart brave to aim for my 12th results on the same day when I got 10th result.
• I worked really hard, very hard that after my Intermediate 1st year, I wrote all the subjects again from my Betterment exams.
  People could decide, my work was in wrong way but trust me it’s only because I’m not right person working for right work.
• We are emotionally bound and motivated to study. There was nothing by heart.
• There were times in my Intermediate times, when people used to trash me in a party ground just taking advantage as I’m in Dance-trans.
• I was one of those who is last in the class in tests when an exam was conducted. But, people used to expect more from me because they feel I don’t deserve Last, at least average.
• My lecturers used to emotionally support me. Environment used to disappoint me every second.
• I emotionally broke down at my Maths exam in my 2nd year examinations which just resulted me with a pass mark. Obviously, my work of an 2 years wasted, because those marks would account to my IIT JEE, JEE Mains score along with Intermediate score.
  Well, result was 891. Which was dooming me down.
• Parents only see marks as they are far away from where I’m studying. That is the only option they have to decide me whether I’m right way or not.
  My result proved, I’m a failure.
• I’ve written entrance exam for over 9 universities and just got selected two of them(Simple, my Intermediate marks used to count). Yeah, my work in Maths, Physics and Chemistry is used to decide if I’m valuable for Computer Science Subject for universities.
• I understood, how much valuable is to have SC and ST tag. (I’m not offensive, but I understood)
• Depending upon loans, and family conditions took Sathyabama University as my choice for computer Science.
• Due to my interest, I used to create lot of opportunities.
• I’m even one of those who fought against also for the university. Because I hated few of Un-mattered decisions taken by university people. Fought for university, while students used to over react against university internally.
• I clearly understood all the organisational behaviour inside campus.
• I lost my laptop. If you don’t feel what I feel by that sentence. It means the world to me. I was such a guy I called Police, went to commissioner office in Chennai, very next day I had semester exam, heard news of my family member RIP before writing the exam, and I was terminated from my stay at hostel as I dialed police.
  All this happened my in my 2nd — 3 semester.
• You could see my each and every work at my University in detail.

• Later, I began getting support. I made friends. I made a beautiful team. Today I call them one of best people I’ve ever met.
  - Team Talentmeet
• I’ve already worked in two startups and failed. After First, I’ve decided think different start inside campus just like an organisation. I don’t want it to be called club. talentmeet.org (Now sunset)
• This way I could keep, legal things away. (company registration, and everything) But we could concentrate on our service we could be able to provide.

Once again, check all the bold words all along the answer
