How did you overcome the challenges to achieve your ambitions in life so far?
I'm the kind of person who keeps learning from her past mistakes and makes it a point to never repeat the same in the future. There were quite a few challenges that came in my way in these past 22 years, but I made it a point to not get underestimated by them. According to me, the way to handle the challenges is to be patient and work on the solutions rather than panicking and reacting to the problem. Be a problem solver and not a problem creator.
One recent challenge that I faced was during my summer internship in a market research company. I was interning as a market research intern there and was responsible for carrying on field customer surveys for client companies. I was given a target of the number of customers who I was supposed to interview for each of my assignment. The major hurdle that came between me and the targets that I was supposed to accomplish was that customers were not willing to talk. This was a huge setback for me during the initial days because this was my first on field experience and obviously I had no clue how I was supposed to talk to the customers so that they are willing to give out the necessary information to me. Just in a few days I adapted to the scenario and realized that the key to effective communication was maintaining patience and empathizing with the problems that the customers have been facing. This way the customers developed a reasonable amount of trust in me and were willing to give information easily.
The challenges have taught me to be proactive and reasonable with the solutions. They have also taught me to be adaptive and be ready to face any problem with a smile on my face.
