I feel really down. Guys, I need some real help. I’m 23 years old, and so far, I haven’t done anything big in my life. I was very good at sports when I was a kid, but I never took it seriously—I was just playing for fun. If I had excelled in cricket or basketball, I could have been one of the best. But let’s say that’s okay because now I don’t like staying in the sun anymore. Still, I see young people around 21 years old who have achieved so much. For example, there’s a talented girl who plays cricket on the international team, and when I found out she’s only 21, I was shocked. I kept asking myself, “What the heck have I been doing?” All my life, I’ve been learning and doing well in my studies. I’m currently in my third year, second semester, studying software engineering. But it feels like this IT field and its jobs won’t let me achieve something big. I’m just starting my life, and my prime time is beginning now. Can you help me with ideas on how to achieve something great? I want to do something remarkable, something that makes people know my name. But I can’t seem to find that path. It feels like nobody becomes well-known in this IT field; it’s just an inside job. I want to do something big. submitted by /u/HauntingTower4882
