How you overcame challenges to achieve your ambitions in life so far?
Overcoming difficulties and to reach our goals is a race in which everyone around us is a player. I am one of the players in the race aspiring to achieve something big in life. Any situation can turn into a challenge if we think it’s a challenge for us. At every stage of life, there have been various hurdles which I have crossed and reached the current position of being an MBA student. The very first challenge in my life which I remember was during my school days where I had defeated 5 other players in badminton singles. This event gave me immense confidence which has helped in overcoming many small fears.
I am a typical engineer with work experience in the IT industry. My daily life was simple, happy and resembled the routine of any other IT person. I had thought of pursuing higher studies which I wanted to undertake and experience a different field after having worked in IT. Handling my office work and studies seemed to be a bigger challenge for me as I had no prior preparation for any of MBA entrance exams. I had hardly 6 months of time to make it and enter the MBA world or break it and continue with my job. I had to motivate myself and manage several other factors to make the best use of as much time as I can. I devised plans to prepare and started to follow as per the schedule I planned. I was not sure what MBA teaches but during this short period, I felt it’s a great self-training on time management. After all this, I successfully crossed one more milestone in my life which is to get into a B-School.
