Usually everyone face challenges in life. In left side, I have kept a picture which is a general picture of everyone's life. If you are somewhere, you will feel like you have to jump to get next place. Since, that is also flat and you don't know how many jumps you have to do in life. Similarly, sun light is also there in front. You have to jump such spaces. And your struggle will show the jumps you made in life. If you are smart enough, you can put few roads in the path and walk easily to other end. But I don't find that is a proper way. Still, it is your choice, what you want. I have seen many people who just run away from such situation and will say, there is no way in this side.
I met a Bengali guy few days back and he told me few real stories of his MSc life, which I am writing here. He did MSc from Pune University. He used to stay with his two friends and all were doing MSc in physics. All those three have different craze in their lives. One used to wake-up early in the morning but another want to sleep in morning. But one day, one of there friend made a challenge, that we should have a competition with each other and we will solve the problems of Quantum Mechanics, by Claude Cohen-Tannoudji. Since, usually we say that this book is bible of Quantum mechanics. Here you can replace the word bible according to your religion. The meaning of saying is if you have completed this book means now you know everything about quantum mechanics. Anyway, I am coming to our event of discussion. Somehow that guy asked their friends to accept the challenge and whoever will win (means solve all problems of this book first), will get a party from other two friends in the most expensive hotel of Pune. According to this (Bengali) student, he and his other friend tried to solve problems of one chapter and got sleep in night. But challenger didn't get sleep. After two days passed, he gave all the solutions of the book and we were like in 2nd chapter. In such a situation, we did not had any option of saying that they won. Now, we checked few of problems but we were not in a condition where we can say him that this problem is not correct because we have to study those chapters first.
According to him, he was a crazy guy, he used to love physics. He was the person who have much interest in physics. He was keen interested in quantum mechanics. I am writing this story because, from last few years, I have listen from many students that they are keen interested in quantum mechanics, and they love quantum mechanics. I ask them whether he/she have listen the name of book by Cohen-Tannoudji and answer is mostly NO. How much interested people are? They read few chapters of Quantum Mechanics by Zettili and think they are now expert in quantum mechanics. If you think you are expert of some subject or you love any subject. You should solve at-least 2-3 books and provide the solution to others, then I shall find that you are expert of that subject.
In above story, I asked Bengali guy that what your friend is doing now? He replied that his friend is from Pune. So, he don't want to go outside Pune. He applied for PhD position in IISER Pune only and he got admission there. So, he is doing PhD from IISER, Pune. If any reader of this blog want to contact this person, you can visit IISER Pune. If you want to know the name of this crazy person, please write in comment, I shall tell you.
If you are a physics student, you should take such challenges with your friends. When you start taking such challenges, you will not find any need of help while taking a jump. Jumps shown in above picture will be a part of your normal life. You will think of new challenges.
