Part B : How you overcame challenges to achieve your ambitions in life so far
My journey till date has been quite challenging and full of struggles. Being born in a lower middle class family in itself involves a lot of struggle in every phase of life. But I consider myself lucky enough not to be deprived of the basic amenities of life. The major struggle in my life started after I completed my Matriculation and moved to Kota to aspire for competitive examinations. My journey of failures started here. It was a very immature decision which I took and I failed disastrously. It had shaken me from inside and made me very unconfident and hopeless. The biggest challenge for me now, was to recover from this failure and get back my confidence level. After this I failed numerous times but never lost the rigour and desire to achieve something big.
I consider myself a bit unlucky as even after putting lot of efforts, I never got what I deserved, be it in studies or in personal life. I just had the faith that maybe it’s not “My Time” now and the situation will change sometime in future. After completing my graduation, I started working in an MNC but I was not yet satisfied and the desire to achieve something big and overcome the guilt or regret of the early stage of my life kept me intrigued. In spite of hectic office hours, I took out time to study and improve my interpersonal skills to crack interviews. It is said that fortune favours the brave and so was very true in my case. Finally I tasted success when I got through in an IIM. It was truly a roller coaster ride for me. The journey was quite beautiful which taught me the notion “survival of the good enough”. It evolved me as a person who is now capable to deal with any kind of tough situation in life and knows to bounce back after failures.
