Lessons I’ve Learned While Pursuing a Career in IT

From Failures to Foundations: My Journey Toward a Tech-Driven Future




My Journey—A Story of Struggles and Resilience


When I look back at my life, it feels like a rollercoaster of emotions, failures, and hard-fought victories. My journey started as an average school kid who loved to have fun and play, but life had other plans. Failing in five subjects during my 10th grade (2019) was the turning point. It wasn’t just a failure; it was a reality check. That phase transformed me from being an extroverted boy to an introverted thinker.


But this setback also awakened something within me—a burning desire to fight back. By March 2020, I qualified in Social Science, and in July 2021, I passed Science, Technology, and English with marks that felt like miracles. By March 2022, I had conquered 10th grade with Standard Maths.


It was during this time that I discovered my passion for technology, particularly cloud computing.


This blog is not just a personal story. It’s a guide, an inspiration, and a reflection of lessons that could help you navigate your challenges, especially if you dream of pursuing a career in IT.




Key Lessons From My IT Journey


1. Resilience is the Key to Success


The Challenge: Failing in 10th grade was devastating, but it taught me the value of resilience.


Lesson: Instead of giving up, break the problem into smaller steps and tackle each one. For instance, I focused on one subject at a time and celebrated every small win.




2. Adaptability is Essential


The Challenge: Transitioning to NIOS after dropping out of 12th grade (2023) was difficult.


Lesson: Embrace change when the current path isn’t working. Switching to a flexible system helped me focus on my goals while managing personal challenges.




3. Self-Discovery Fuels Passion


The Challenge: Finding my interest in cloud computing wasn’t immediate.


Lesson: Take time to explore various fields. Researching cloud computing gave me clarity about what I wanted to achieve.




4. Managing Finances Wisely


The Challenge: My family invested in expensive school fees, which taught me the importance of budgeting.


Lesson: Always evaluate the ROI of your decisions. Education is a valuable investment, but managing finances smartly ensures long-term benefits.







Practical Tips for Aspiring IT Professionals


Start Small: Begin by learning the basics of programming and IT concepts. Free resources like Codecademy and Coursera are great places to start.


Build a Strong Foundation: Choose a specialization that excites you—be it cloud computing, cybersecurity, or data science.


Stay Updated: IT is a rapidly evolving field. Follow blogs, attend webinars, and join online communities to stay ahead.


Develop Soft Skills: Communication, teamwork, and problem-solving are just as important as technical skills.


Network: Build connections with like-minded people and industry professionals. Platforms like LinkedIn are invaluable.





How My Past Fuels My Future


October 2024: Successfully completed my 12th-grade NIOS exams with 68% marks.


January 2025: Awaiting admission to Parul University’s BSc IT (Cloud Computing) program.



My ultimate goal is to become a cloud architect and contribute to the future of technology.


Despite challenges like an eye surgery pending since childhood, I’m determined to push forward. Every struggle has strengthened my resolve and brought me closer to my dreams.




Conclusion: A Vision Beyond IT


This blog is just the beginning. Through my experiences, I aim to provide valuable insights, actionable tips, and motivational stories to help others overcome their challenges.

Vibes, Vision & Victory: A New Way to Read the World

✍️ Author: "An observer, visionary, and IT aspirant exploring the bridge between intuition and innovation." ✍️ By Ved Rathod | Cloud Dynasty >“The world speaks… but only a few truly listen.” ๐Ÿš Introduction — When the Road Spoke to Me It all started on a quiet road between Anand and Umreth, sitting on the first seat of a moving bus. While others scrolled through their phones, I simply observed. And in that stillness, something magical unfolded: Houses whispered their untold stories. Fragrances carried memories that felt older than this lifetime. Trees stood like silent philosophers, revealing the entire cycle of human life — childhood, youth, maturity, solitude. Every corner, every turn… emitted a vibe, a story, a possibility. This wasn’t random imagination. It was as if some hidden layer of reality had unlocked, showing me the world in a way that most people never notice. That day, I realized: > I don’t just look at the world. I read it. And this rare ability — if unde...
