#bebettereveryday: Why have I decided to take the Digital Marketing Nanodegree Program?

I was working at my office 8 hours a day, not different from any other days. I've been working as a product manager for almost 2 years at the same company. 

At first, I felt grateful that I was employed. It was my first real job after all. For my job, over 800 people applied and I was one of two people who actually got the job. Man, how happy I was when I received the offer letter! I was literally dancing with my parents with joy! First year at work, I looked at my work through rose-colored glasses. Everything was new and interesting.

Yet time went by and my works started getting routine and mundane. I wasn't motivated with my work and time went by really slowly at work. On weekdays, I was eager for Friday to come sooner and when Friday came, it was one of the happiest moments in my life. Yet weekend passed by so fast and I was dragged to work on Monday again.

I had to do something new for a change. I couldn't just be uninspired at work and do nothing. I was extremely bored with my same routine tasks. 

I started asking myself, "What do you want to do with your life now? What should I do to keep myself motivated?" I was looking through various LinkedIn profiles who landed on my dream jobs. And I realized a lot of people have completed nanodegrees at Udacity. They were trying extra hard to improve themselves! 

That's how I got started with Digital Marketing Nanodegree at Udacity. I've been doing it for a month now and the contents are very educational, fun and interesting. Many people go through slump in certain period of their lives. You should not just sit on it, you should actively walk out of your slump and become a better person! 

Let's keep on improving and be proactive with our lives!
