a small fish

he just realised its a different playing field here. and for the 1st time since he dreamed about all of this... he is scared.  scared of not living up to expectation. scared of the feeling that he doesn't belong. scared of fading away. scared of waking up every morning feeling mediocre because he couldn't understand data structure, or how the electron interact, have on top of his head some advance mathematical formula, or do programming like its a second language that everybody here should know. afraid of eventually realising that he is in a wrong dream...

***

prior to coming here one of his previous prof. reminded him

"the way to succeed is to work hard, harder than everyone else. and try to find that niche area of yours, know your strength, the area where you can really go all the way"

this two liner advice carry such a big weight

over here he noticed that everyone is working hard. and its almost impossible to work harder than everyone else. literally. and finding your niche and knowing your strength is not like something you can know by looking yourself in the mirror. its much deeper than that. anyway it wouldn't stop him to keep trying.
