Aditya Birla Group, as wider its products are spread that deeper its emotion has penetrated into my life. As Mr. Kumar Mangalam Birla has said "Well, I think the golden rule I can think of is the fact that you must follow your passion and do something that's close to your heart. And I think that that's very important, well, to be successful and to be happy." it reminds me of a time when I had sensed the feeling of being successful and happy for the first time in life. On the result day of my CBSE 10th boards examination, I was lying on my couch anticipating different scenarios related to different grades I was going to achieve. I got a call from my friend saying that results were out and I got my eyes glued to the computer screen. The page refreshed and I couldn't believe at the first glance that I had secured 10 CGPA. I got a call from my school that I was needed to be present in my school the very next day for a photographic session with the principal but I remembered that I had no decent clothes to wear. My father sensed that sadness, told me to hop on his bike, took me the store and that's when I got my first branded formal shirt and the brand was none other than PETER ENGLAND, a company acquired by ABG in the year 2000. I failed to notice when this brand became an integral part of my life. The attachment between me and the fabric feels so connected. ABG group has been making an impact in my life with one product or the other and emotion related to each and every product.
Challenges are an inevitable part of life. I always compare challenges in life with friction in physics as it is aptly termed as 'necessary evil'. There is a thin line between difficulty and challenge where a difficult situation simply implies that a task is hard to do but a challenge is something that ensures satisfaction when you overcome it. The one situation which I remember when I hear the word challenge is that when I was about to appear for my 12th boards I was diagnosed with jaundice. The exams were only 1 week away and I was shifted to a different room in my hostel to avoid spreading of the disease. Isolation, nostalgia, and stress were the emotions that revolved around my mind. The challenge was to keep all these emotions aside and focus on the exams and achieve a remarkable score. One quote of Earl Nightingale, also known as the dean of personal development kept me moving was "Whatever we plant in our subconscious mind and nourish with repetition and emotion will one day become a reality
." I planted in my mind that whatever may be the situation I need to get to the score I had dreamt of. Echoed it in my mind day and night and all the pain and misery that I had vanished in thin air, not in reality but in my mind. Whenever I feel that I have a difficulty I reiterate this same situation in my mind, take it up as a challenge and what you do with challenges? Face it.
