The only limit to your impact is your imagination and commitment.
And talking about creating an impact on one’s life, I believe every person creates an impact on his or her life every day. Every day is a new day and it comes with its own set of new challenges. Whether for a kid it is learning alphabets or numbers or for professionals looking to advance in their careers, no situation is the same. It’s the way a person decides to handle the situation is what can either make a good impact in their life or may lead to a failure from which they can learn in the future.
For me personally I have faced a lot of difficult situations which have not been favorable for me and have also made a few decisions which have not led to the outcome I desired. But instead of sitting and regretting about those incidents I chose to look at them as an opportunity to assess and learn so I don’t make the same mistake again.
My decision to leave my job after working for 4.5 years and prepare to pursue further education was not easy. The first few days after I returned home and sat down to study, my concentration was as weak as a toddler. After a month, I still wasn’t able to sit and study for more than an hour and I started to wonder whether I made the right decision to leave my job and prepare for MBA entrance exams. But I knew I could not go back and had to work towards the decision I had made. Quoting Rocky from the movie creed “one step at a time, one punch at a time, one round at a time”, is started to take one day, one chapter at a time and gradually started to grasp more and more. As a result, here I am today studying at one of the most prestigious B-schools in India and have the opportunity to write this article which can possibly have an impact on my own career.
