   In my last semester, I had a back-log that affected my joining a job and results as well so I just had to clear an extra exam and just for the sake of not wasting my time had to do an uninteresting and low paying job.

8. What is the one thing that motivates you the most?

   Feeling of becoming better than the main character of every success story I ever read.
