Growing up, I always had a set of ideas and beliefs that I believed in. One of those belief that has shaped me is '
Why else are we here if not to have an unrealistic passion for something?' - and that has always defined me, having a passion!
As a kid, I had a passion for writing so I would write articles, prose, poetry till everything I felt was on paper. When I went to college, I struggled for the first semester - new place, new people and first time outside the house. Now I never had a passion for marks or grades, but in second semester I was introduced to HR-related subjects, and as it turned out, I was good at those subjects. As much as I read them, the more passionate I got about HR and I held the hands of my passion closely when I faced any confusion about my career choices. Needless to say, The transition from Bachelors in Business Management - HR to PGDM-HR has indeed been interesting!
I was always an ambitious student but at one point in my life, I felt like I had too much on my hands. I was gradually withdrawing from things that once interested me. It's crucial to have a direction in life and to understand the purpose behind our actions, and so I turned to my passion again - my love of writing. There's a thing about penning down your thoughts, a sense of vulnerability that comes with it, and it truly helped me gain a sense of perspective in life when I needed it the most.
While we are caught in the race of getting good grades, bagging that coveted placement, we must not forget about our passion. Be unreasonably passionate, for it might give a sense of purpose to our lives and a rhythm to the everyday chaos.
