I am pretty sure that 90% of us would agree that we do not have a perfect life. We all have our own ups and downs but that is something which is a part of life itself. One cannot embrace the feeling of happiness unless he/she knows how bad it felt during the challenges that life threw at them.
I am no big guru nor a wise man but there is one particular thing that I have noticed myself while growing and around me in society. Dealing challenges is not a measure of how successful a person is. But how one deals and behaves while dealing with challenges is something which defines a person and how successful he/she will be in life.
The most interesting fact which I have observed is that kids are the best at handling challenges. Maybe because they are just kids or maybe they eventually crack the ultimate secret of being happy throughout their childhood. But for whatever reason, that might be the child insides you always help you to face your challenges wisely. Thus, I always try to keep the kid inside me alive no matter how tensed the time gets.
A typical challenge one faces in an MBA curriculum is the shear load of responsibilities and work which at times can be overwhelming. Thus, I have made a pact with myself. No matter how tensed the times are I work throughout the day keeping the evening or night time free for myself for doing all so-called stupid stuff which a kid might do. Dreaming about touring the best places to simply sitting idle on the terrace watching the sunset. Binge watching TV series to simply talking for hours with friends. So yes the kid inside me has helped the so-called adult me to overcome and face challenges.
