To be honest, I'm a super fan of the Batman movie series. In 2022, after waiting nearly two years for the release of The Batman, I rushed to the movie theatre on opening day just to watch it. Fan boy!

While there are many things I admire about Batman, one has always stuck with me the most: his utility belt—it's like it has everything for anything. Need to cut through metal? There's a razor for that. He wants to climb up a building? There's a tool for that. Sometimes I ask myself, "Hmm, how big is this belt to carry all these things?! Hahahaha"

Okay, let's say I'm the Batman in college with a mission to rise from college. Opportunities may be coming my way, or I'm actively seeking them; I may be facing challenges and obstacles in various ways. Yeah, luckily, I have my utility belt (The Batman 🕵️‍♀️). I can take out any tool and use it to grab these opportunities or look for them well—fight anything trying to bump into my face.

Let's get away from movie fantasies first. I call these tools #risingTools—tools which I can use to help me rise to success in whatever I'm working on. Let's say I meet up with a Spanish lady wanting a tour guide for 200k; I will take out my Spanish language speaking tool and use it to grab this opportunity. Or we can say luckily, I have met this guy with a lot of money, and he seems like he can invest in anyone with a good idea (and I have one). Then I will take out my good presentation tool to pitch my ideas well.

There are many tools which you can use in different situations like management skills, business world understanding, and more.

But unlike Batman, our utility belt is not always full of tools—we have to fill it with tools, and the only way to do that is by #buildUpSkills: learn many skills and knowledge which you think can be useful in your journey. Pile up these useful tools in your belt; you never know what challenge or opportunity can come your way, but if you have the right tools all the time, nothing can slip between your fingers just because you can't do something.
