I was a very average student while I was in school. Everyone
said that. My parents always answered saying, Ya Bijay is just an
average student, he neither fails nor Tops the class when somebody
asked them about my study.
My teachers also always said that, and I was categorized as an
average student. That statement kept coming over and over again
from them. When it kept coming repeatedly for some years, I,
somehow at that point in time believed on what they said
and accepted that label of an average student all my
schooling. Bijay is an Average student. I believed them and I had
those Mark Sheets to reinforce those statements. I even recall
myself saying several times while in school, I am doing just fine
when someone from distance relatives or new people asked me about
my study. I also remember going to toppers and saying you are
amazing. I can't even think of topping in my life.
I think I was happy with what I had. The label of an average
guy. Because that's what I have been told all my life right. Nobody
ever said Bijay you are topper you can top the class. Never. Nor my
parents nor teachers because they believed I cannot ever do that
and made me believe as well over years.
And I completed my high school and now was time for college. I
moved to Kathmandu for entrance exam preparation. And I was not
able to make it to the college that I wanted to as my teachers and
parents expected.
I don't know why but that incident stir something inside me.
Not being able to clear that entrance means I had to adjust to an
average college and be happy with average marks and lead an average
life. Now, I got admitted to a college in Delhi NCR. And I
remember very clearly saying to myself after coming to Delhi.
Even if I was not able to make it to the best college, I am going
to be the best wherever I am. I desperately wanted to trash the
average tag I was given all my life. I no longer wanted to live
with that Average Student label I was given by people around me. I
somehow made myself believe that I can do that. I remember working
so hard in my college. There were many challenges in front of me. I
came from Nepal, so language was a barrier, I couldn't speak hindi,
It was a huge cultural change, I had to adjust myself. I knew
nobody and noone was there for moral support. But still I knew and
believed I am not meant to be an average student. And Guess
what?
First Year- I topped the college, Second Year- I again topped
the college and also awarded with the best student Award,
Third Year- I was awarded with full fee waiver scholarship and Last
Year- I graduated as a topper and got a placement at top
company. And on first three month of the on job-training at
this top company, I was awarded with most outstanding candidate
award from global leader.

podcast?
Let me help you right from coming out
with idea to launching your first episode ever.
Remember, the average guy is now the most outstanding
candidate. Because I believed that I could be one.
Because I decided to trash the Average tag. That one thought of not
accepting the tag given by people around me made that difference in
my life. Imagine I would have been an average student all my life
if I have not chosen to seek that potential within myself. Each one
of us has got it within ourselves.
Guys, Louise Hay said If you accept a limiting belief, then it
will become a truth for you. It's up to you whether you wanna live
with label of an Average person given by people around you or trash
that label and turn your identity as a outstanding candidate.
It's just the matter of belief. If you believe you can than there's
no force ever created that can stop you. because you have the power
to become unstoppable and trash the average tag.
