We are born & every one of us is different from the others - different finger prints, appearences, different levels of progress and growth. Then comes Indian schooling where the over-arching policy of educational institutions seems to be to bring about conformity - to make us all into identical beings.
Then, one fine day, we are thrust back into the real world where we can stand out from the crowd only when we have special talents and capabilities.
Most of us are not born geniuses with some inherent easily appreciated talent (Music, Leadership, Public speaking, Maths, art,...). Most of us have 'regular' jobs. But even here companies are looking to pick the right person. So when you are looking at a specific job, what makes you special - the right person for that job?
There are hidden inherent traits in all of us (though they may not be dramatically or easily apparent). One way to find what that is, is to describe to yourself how you would want others to describe you and then try to nature those talents. Spend some time every day to understand yourself so that you can bring out best with in yourself.
I have heard many time statements like this 'He is a real meticulous person'. 'She is a problem solver'. 'She is a people person'. 'He is a good planner'.
So, when are you going to start analyze & describing you?
The way you are today is because of your yesterday's situation & decisions. And the way you will be tomorrow is because of your Today's decisions & planning!

Type of materials
Structural materials fall into four important categories: metals, polymers,
ceramics, and composites. Metals are the most obvious materials and cover
everything from bronze and iron through steels, exotic metals like titanium
and zirconium, and alloys of two or more metals.
Polymers cover everything from wood and fibers to glues, rubber, Bakelite,
nylon, acrylic, and all the plastics. Ceramics include stone, glass, cement,
bricks, and pottery.
Composite materials have as long a history as all the others, starting with
mixtures of straw and mud to make primitive bricks through laminates of
different woods (such as plywood). Their history in aircraft manufacturing is
also long; even the massive Spruce Goose used laminated wood for its skin.
This is non technical stuff but you know great information about what physicist called mass / material so think over it.
