CHASING YOUR DREAMS #IIM TRICHY
All my life I have seen a lot of ups and downs which has made me feel many a times that nothing good is to come out of it. When all the doors seem to shut in front of you, that small ray of hope is the only thing that you can make the most out of. Life has really taught me that there’s no giving up no matter how tough the things in front of you seem to be.
One such moment of my life was when I was working a couple of years back for an MNC. Although the moments that I spent at that place were among the best of my lives there was a sense of fear that had crept inside me. This fear was because of the complacency that I had developed over the months working there. This feeling of not doing justice to the potential I had or the knowledge and skills that I had gained over the years, haunted me every night. Many nights ended in tears just because of that cloud of uncertainty hovering above me. My work involved a lot of rigor and my laziness to the take that risk to get out of my comfort zone didn’t help much. But I am really lucky to have such supportive parents and siblings who helped me get out that situation. There was always a big risk to give up a job, but it was that particular trait of risk which I was targeting to learn. Finally, I was going after something which I really aspire for and fortunately cleared my CAT exams to make myself worthy of the place I currently belong i.e. IIM Trichy.
