Acharya Prashant addresses a person who feels they have reached the pinnacle of failure after seven unsuccessful attempts at securing a job. He questions this notion, pointing out that if not for the age limit, the person would have continued trying. He emphasizes that becoming over-age is not the pinnacle of failure. He asks what the person was doing for the past seven years, plus the two or three years of preparation, which amounts to a decade of effort. The core issue, Acharya Prashant explains, is not the failure itself but whether any lesson has been learned from the experience. If something has been learned about life, then those years were not wasted. He reassures the person that with a decade of experience in preparation, they will eventually find some form of employment. The problem is not about livelihood, as everyone finds some work. The real question is what these experiences have taught them. If a lesson has been learned, it is a success greater than getting the job on the first attempt, and there is no reason to be sad. However, if no lesson has been learned, he asks, "When will you learn?" He distinguishes between selection for a job, which is decided by others, and learning from life's experiences, which is one's own decision. He suggests learning that in a field where one's heart is not invested, the results will be half-hearted. Another lesson is that life offers many opportunities, and it is unwise to be obsessed with just one thing. He questions the immense value placed on a single job, comparing the decade-long effort to the penance of sages and asking if the job has been elevated to the status of God. Acharya Prashant humorously questions what an offer letter for such a coveted job would say: "Congratulations on attaining Nirvana?" or "Proceed to heaven for further training?" He reiterates that a job is just a job and should not be made into God. He states that the root of the problem is living life from a wrong center. The desire for a government job is often rooted in greed for a car, a government bungalow, and job security. This is not about unemployment but about the high social status or "dowry" associated with such jobs. The solution is to place at the center of one's life that which is truly worthy, not a job or a person. He advises using the life given by the Giver for the Giver's purpose.
