  7. Bhaiya I need your guidance about some things. I am

    not able to prioritize stuff. A friend of mine is a great hacker, he is taking workshops on ethical hacking at college, so sometimes I am reading books about ethical security that he suggests. Another friend of mine knows some machine learning, impressed by him I found myself looking for machine learning courses at Coursera and other sites. Then sometimes I am reading books about competitive programming, learning python, nodejs and other languages. After doing all these things I cant say that I am an expert at any of these things, for example I have created a website in Nodejs but still I don't remember the syntax of some default functions or how many parameters they accept, every time I use google to find the correct syntax of a function. Also, I don't give much importance to college studies, I scored just 50% in mid-semester exams. I think I am just following others. I want to reappear in JEE Mains, I am sure that I can get a good score this time, I started studying for it with great energy but now I think that I am not devoting sufficient time to it. The problem is I want to do everything, I start with everything but I give up easily. Kindly help.
