As said by a famous author Paulo Coelho “What interests me in life is curiosity, challenges,
the good fight with its victories and defeats” .There were 2 major incidents where I had facedc challenges in my life and have overcame them successfully.
First one was when I was doing my Engineering. I was a part of IEEE Student Branch and we conducted various technical events throughout the year. Being the head of one of such events,I had a great responsibility of ensuring that the event is successfully completed. During the course of event there was a serious verbal interaction amongst two opposing team players and that created the ruckus. The contestants were blaming the referee for giving false decisions.
So I had to intervene and explain to them very politely about the rules and how the referee is not to be blamed and failing to understand the rules can lead to disqualification.
The key challenge here was manipulating the contestants to make them understand the situation and that I achieved by understanding their issue, consoling them and then making them realise that we have to go by the rules in most polite way.
The second one being, when I was preparing for MBA entrance exams. I was simultaneously doing job along with it. I had a goal of getting into top MBA College and it was challenging for me to manage my studies and office work together. I was consistently scoring less in mock tests and was not satisfied. Then I took up the challenge to manage time judiciously and put consistent efforts towards preparation.
The key challenge here was to remain calm, manage time efficiently, divide tasks and prioritize them and follow the schedule.
