As Thomas Carlyle, a Scottish philosopher once said “A MAN WITHOUT GOAL IS LIKE A SHIP WITHOUT A RUDDER”. A direction is what a person needs to move forward in life, for me it was Aditya Birla Group.
Since I was a boy I had confidence issues, was very shy hardly made eye contact with anyone, always used to stick with my parents. I believe this was one of my biggest challenges in life I faced. Low confidence creates a vicious circle in life. It did the same for me, I didn’t take initiatives and when others took initiatives them, I felt even more incompetent making a vicious circle. All of this went away in my engineering days, I was a different person afterwards. I came to know more about myself then.
The changes started the moment I started taking initiatives. Success gave me confidence and failures made me accustomed to fail. I didn’t feel down after failing, it only lifted my spirit to perform better. All this helped me later in interviews before internships. I got into Larsen & Toubro, it was all due to my exposure to tough situations and a solid resolve to change which enabled my growth.
I participated in GD-PI competition held in my college. Both 3rd years and 4th years participated together. To my surprise I stood first in the whole department. That was my biggest achievement and acknowledgement of my efforts in the past years. This confidence even helped me in my MBA interviews. I was calm in all my interviews and group discussions, for others it may not be a high point but for me it definitely was. I was finally able to get into one of the top B-schools in India.
