Sometimes the difference in whether you succeed or whether you don't come down to one simple thing – believing in yourself. The amount of effort you put into a work reduces drastically when you don't believe in something, which reduces your chances of achieving your goal. As they say, the first step is always the hardest and in the journey towards success, the first step is to believe in yourself.
In my life, I went through situations where people support you telling that you can achieve things, but the change comes only when you believe in you. This belief drives you towards the goal. It motivates you. And all of a sudden you see the world around you start believing in you. And it is where you notice that your goals which require help from others start happening. There were situations at my work where the targets to achieve were too high, you get demotivated, begin to doubt whether you can. But once I developed a vision towards the target and started to develop strategies to achieve the target by breaking it to smaller tasks and achieving them it increased my self-belief bit by bit. Then when I began to believe it’s possible to achieve the target the things started to happen. There were people from other departments coming along to help you. At times I wonder how it all happened and it all began with a small belief that I Can.
When I see at Aditya Birla Group I see everything they do is big. Be it the range of the products, the countries in which it operates, the number of employees or the CSR everything's big. The way they carried their legacy and business principles for 162 years is inspiring. The conglomerate's vision and mission state that, "To be a global conglomerate with a clear focus on each of the businesses" and "To deliver superior value to the customers, shareholders, employees, and society at large" respectively, which were their heartbeat of existence.
