Hard work is Success, Success is Happiness: My 2.0 story

Hi, this is Anwesha 2.0 speaking. It’s 2027 and it’s been a hell of a journey from Anwesha 1.0 for the last 6–7 years.

I can say now that I’m a more fulfilled person than I used to be seven years back.

Back then when I had no vision of the world around me, I embraced two quotes that helped me curve my path to positivity.

I’ll mention those quotes in time, but to tell my story right I’ll have to start from the beginning.

I was born and raised in a small rural village in West Bengal. Back then in the late 1990s, Kids like me were growing within the social structure that still had a flavor left of the old world.

Although the new digital era was knocking on our doorstep, our parents and family were afraid to let us embrace it. Well, now I don’t blame them. After all, they belong to the old world, and this wave of the new digital era was an altogether new concept to them.

Anyway, to sum up, my somewhat deprived childhood had one positive attainment and that was reading. All the source of my entertainment that I can remember since my early childhood came from reading books. I had the gift of reading and reading generates imagination. When I was a little older, I imagined the perfect world for me in my mind.

It was like a dream, it was like a paradise of innocence, ignorance, and foolishness. Because until then I was reading comics, fables, fairy tales, detective stories, and other kinds of fiction. My perfect world took its first hit the day I started reading non-fiction, and newspapers.

I started getting glimpses of the real world, started getting the idea that nothing is ever constant, started getting the idea of how brutal is the struggle of survival!

And that got me puzzled. By the time I was about to get admission to a college, I was very confused and scared as well. After a lot of brainstorming, I finally gave a shot to my knowledge and became a mass communication student.

Even though I had to struggle to finish my college communication-wise, my mind was still peaceful.

But now came the frustration of unemployment when my college was over. Since I come from a financially weak family, I didn’t have the luxury of having the option of paying a high course fee for any alluring higher study or to bribe a lumpsum amount of money to a govt. official or any political party worker to get a govt. job.

So, I did whatever I could do with my limited resource. I taught privately for a long time; I wrote for others to eventually become a content writer. Still, I did not feel fulfilled. There were lots of life complications that were pulling me behind. So, I started looking for alternative career options.

It’s a good thing that I have been a very good student throughout my study career, I thank god for that. I had always my ways to simplify and digest complex ideas and systems.

So finally, the concept of digital marketing intrigued me. I started digging and I found Digital Deepak. That was it. I said earlier that I am very fond of two quotes since the beginning.

Well, the first one is not even a quote, it’s a distortion of Barack Obama’s slogan “YES WE CAN”. I made it “YES I CAN” for myself. After I joined Digital Deepak, I started feeling confident that YES, I CAN. I began my journey towards 2.0.

Hi, this is Anwesha 2.0 Speaking. I’ve had a great journey but it is not over yet. I don’t want it to end so soon.

Digital Deepak showed me a clear path… I am not saying it is the only path for everyone, but now I have long realized that it was the right one for me. By the time I finished the short course from Digital Deepak, I was well-groomed.

Now I could talk confidently, act promptly, lead graciously, and earn properly. My slogan “Yes I can” became “Yes I did”. My life started getting better. I started filling the potholes of my life’s path. But after some time I started lacking a greater purpose.

Now I began to understand to gain a greater purpose I have to follow that famous Spiderman quote: “With great power comes great responsibility”. Well, I didn’t have the web-shooters that Spiderman had, but I had a little power of money. I started thinking “What else I can?” with the little money that I have?

I thought about investing my money into the share market or real estate or something like that. But then it would not serve any greater purpose. So, I looked back into my early life. Why did I have to struggle so hard? The answer was pathfinding education and information.

People from small towns and villages still do not have the power of information even in the internet era. They still don’t know what to look at and where to look for. So, I found out that education is the key. I can only empower the common people with proper education. So, I took my first step and started building a library.

Then gradually I started digitalizing my library. I bought a bunch of cheaper laptops and Kindles. I rented a big hall to put them on. I made and bought desks and chairs for people to sit and study. At first, it felt hopeless. Who would spend their time reading when there are so many ways of passing time? There’s Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Tik-Tok, Mobile games, and whatnot.

I had to struggle during the first year of my venture eventually falling into financial crisis again. But the wheel turned at last. They started coming one by one to find their way, and finally, I dared to continue my venture to convert my little library into the ultimate destination for the lost souls.

By 2025 I had established my reputation and started giving my idea to a semi-permanent shape. I took a bigger place and built my academy. I filled it with books, all kinds of magazines, laptops, kindles, etc. I collected many rare old books and journals to feed my academy.

People started talking about my initiative and finally started pouring in and I found a way to use my digital marketing skill on the empowerment of distracted pupils.

I take a reasonable fee and in exchange, I show them how to find their way, promote their skill online (using my digital marketing skill) when they are ready, and keep improving the infrastructure of my academy. On top of that, employers who got good employees from my academy pay me as well.

I am thinking of building a perfect classroom where the pupils can be taught with the help of path-defining demonstrations. I know that I’ll keep having new ideas to help more people.

Now I see that long-lost dream of my childhood perfect world is taking shape on a very small scale. Life is not all bad after all.

I cannot thank enough Digital Deepak for showing me the right path. I wish one day Digital Deepak will become an ocean of hope and optimism. Long live Digital Deepak.
