“Things do not happen by chance, however by sheer chance they are recognized by humans”. Everything organizes itself in this world in a certain pattern, and this does not require people just admiring and looking at this exercise, instead, a thinker is supposed to analyze it, generalize it, and use it to problem-solve. Therefore, I decide to draw my strength from the happening world and the way it needs us. I think, on account of my experiences so far, that any effort to be an integral part of any system is a function of how effectively we correlate our actions to this basic phenomenon.
