It's the little things in life that matter the most. | Subhadip Sinha | COE NMIMS

I had been a part of an NGO providing free education to special-abled children and orphans. ABG’s CSR activities like providing Mid-Day Meals to thousands of schools going children in different states, providing safe drinking water, healthcare support to special-abled children and many more such activities inspire me to do something more for the society, to make it a better place for everybody. ABG gives me a feeling of happiness, confidence and trust and plays a very important and invaluable position in my life.

Part B: How I Overcame Challenges To Achieve My Ambitions In Life So Far?

It’s a known fact that most humans are creatures of habit and thrive on predictable and comfortable actions to minimize stress but I believe that this is something we should try to change. It’s only when we push ourselves a little more, out of our comfort zone it’s then when we start to grow.  

Throughout my life, I have faced many challenges, and have also tried to use these challenges as a tool to learn new things. One of the challenges I faced was during my final year of graduation was when I had to prepare simultaneously for my college final exams and for different MBA entrance exams. Like many students out there, I also had a strong aversion from the subject- mathematics. This fear had been inside me since my childhood days and it started affecting my exams. That year, I failed to clear the exams of any top B-schools and I was left with two options either to join any random b-school or drop a year and prepare for another year. I knew that this is the time when I had to get over my fear otherwise, I could never get through it and I would never be able to achieve my goal. So, I decided to drop a year. For the next year, I planned out each and everything that I needed to do. I divided my entire syllabus into smaller manageable parts and maintained a proper schedule for everything. The end result? My performance improved significantly and I even managed to get through some of the top b-schools in India.  

This incident of my life taught me a very important lesson. I realised that it’s all about our perception. The moment we start believing ourselves, coupled with sheer determination and will to overcome our fears, we can overcome any kind of challenge in our lives. Challenges are nothing but our fears lying outside our comfort zones. It’s all about when we get ready to face them.
