“A smooth sea never made a skillful sailor.”
There is not a single human being on this earth who has never faced challenges. Challenges are something which make us strong, help us to rise from the ashes and know our true worth. Like any other individual, I too had my up’s and down’s.
During the placement season in graduation, I was excited and stressful at the same time. Companies came in line but I was unable to clear the aptitude test itself. I knew it was going to be tough but it was more than that. It gave me many stressful nights, lowered the confidence in me and I almost started having doubts whether I will be able to make it or not. But there was still a little hope left in me which gave me courage to fight all of it and yes, the day came I got placed in one of the largest IT companies. That day made me realize that some things take time to happen but will happen for sure.
I have been a sincere student all my life and dint fail in any of the school exams or graduation exams but its not necessary that if you haven’t, you will never as life is all about uncertainty. During the training of this company I got placed in, it was compulsory to pass the exam otherwise you will need to pack your bags and go back home. Since there was no connection of coding with me, I failed in that exam for the very first time in my academic life. There were two more attempts remaining and if I clear I will be in, else out of the corporate journey which has just started and which took me to lift a rock to just enter. I was more of a patient person now and don’t give up easily. I worked hard, developed coding programs and gave it my best shot and cleared the exam with great marks.
The greatest power is within. If you choose not to be defeated by your failures, you won’t be ever. Make failure’s your best friends whenever you encounter them as they are the one’s who will carve out a diamond from a rock.
