CHALLENGES IN MY LIFE(PART B)
Life tests each one of us with different challenges at different points in our lives. Sometimes these challenges become obstacles in our path to achieve our goals or ambitions. Although the nature of challenges varies, whether be it related to economic issues, work life balance, depression and health related challenges .But each of these challenges makes us stronger and which ultimately leads to our personal growth and mental strength.
My life has not been a bed full of roses .From time to time it has tested with difficulties which were never portend but in the end it took we ahead in my life . One of the most significant challenges of my life has been during my first job . It was a job which was very demanding and I had to work around 13 hours a day, 6 days a week. Adding to my woes was the remote job location. The days were very tough and every moment I wondered whether I should run away from the job or stay . I even thought about my possible alternate options if I were to resign from my job. But I soon realised that it was not the sensible way to change my life. Then keeping in mind my future ambitions I decided to appear in CAT exam which was six months away. But keeping in mind my strenuous work schedule it was almost next to impossible to find time to prepare for CAT and then to get admission to any B-school . My after meticulously planning my work and making the best use of the available time I started to prepare for CAT. Studying in the most efficient manner, downloading CAT videos and watching them during the office breaks, leaving out topics which was difficult and had low weightage and applying every possible lean techniques possible I progressed as time passed by. Finally after giving 101% and making the best possible use of the available time I was finally able to crack CAT and get a call from IIM Raipur. This challenge has immensely increased my self confidence in me and made me believe that if determined any person can overcome any sort of challenge in his life.
