Tezzbuzz Desk: Today's Gen-Z has more opportunities than ever before, but with these opportunities has also come increased confusion, comparison, and stress. Be it choosing a career, preparing for an exam or avoiding underestimating yourself after seeing the success of others on social media, there is a new challenge at every turn. At such a time, the teachings of Bhagavad Gita appear extremely relevant even today. The philosophy of life given by Lord Krishna to Arjun has many important lessons hidden for today's young generation.

The most famous lesson of Shri Krishna is – do your work and do not worry about the results. Arjuna was worried about the outcome of the war in Kurukshetra. He was worried about the future and because of this his mind became disturbed. Krishna explained to them that a person's actions are in his hands, not the results. Today this lesson is very important for Gen-Z also. We do not have complete control over how the exam paper will turn out, how many marks we will get or how well other candidates will perform. But full attention can be given to studies, hard work, revision and preparation. Today social media has made comparison easier. Someone's job, someone's foreign trip, someone's marriage or someone's success comes on our screens in a few seconds. After this, we often start weighing our lives with others. Krishna's teachings inspire us to pay attention to our actions and our path. Every person's circumstances and journey are different. Therefore, it is not right to consider your life a failure after seeing someone else's success. You should avoid judging your entire life by watching someone else's highlight reel.

Today there are many career options before the youth. New avenues are opening up from engineering, medical, law, design, business, government jobs to artificial intelligence. Confusion also increases due to more options. Arjun was also in a similar dilemma. Shri Krishna did not decide for them, but gave them the vision to understand right and wrong. This learning is important for the youth today also. Seek advice, ask questions, understand your capabilities and interests, and then take responsibility for your decisions. Failing an exam, not getting a job, or missing out on an opportunity is not the end of life. Failure is just an event, not your identity. Shri Krishna did not consider Arjun's weak moment as his full potential. Today's youth should also understand that one rejection does not make them a rejected person and one failure does not make them a failure forever. Learning from failure and trying again is the way forward.

Today, information is available in a few seconds, content goes viral on social media and AI does many tasks in minutes. But building real knowledge, skills and personality takes time. The teachings of Shri Krishna tell us that patience and consistency are very important. The results of every hard work are not visible immediately. Many times the hard work done today pays off months or years later. Therefore, it is not right to give up hard work if you do not get immediate success. Janmashtami is not only the celebration of the birth of Lord Shri Krishna, but also an opportunity to implement his thoughts in your life. Times have changed, challenges have changed, but the basic questions of life still remain the same. Today's Kurukshetra is between career, competition, social media, failure and changing technology. In such a situation, Kanha's teachings give the same message to Gen-Z – trust your work, avoid comparison, take right decisions and keep moving forward on your path with patience.
