Life as we all know is not as simple as it seems to be. It is nothing short of a roller coaster ride throwing at us situations where we sometimes lose confidence,doubt ourselves and get bogged down along the way. But there is this one thing that I always stick by whenever I get bogged down by any challenge and it is the art of never giving up. 

During my engineering days I found coding very difficult. A day before lab test seemed nothing short of a nightmare and I still remember how desperately I prayed to get the easiest of all programs that were there in the syllabus. No matter the language, the struggle was real hard for me.

Aricent was the first company to visit our campus and like everybody I was very eager to get into it and get my job done. The company had already put a cap on our marks so that not everybody can apply. My marks was just on the borderline and I was completely sure that I wouldn’t crack it. 

But as luck and hard work would have it I landed my first job with them and had a proper coding job in python. It is unbelievable till this stage that I was one of the best performing fresher inducted into the company. 

I till date don’t know as to how I managed what I did but all I know is that the never give up attitude is what makes or breaks any situation. Had I given up at that time I would’ve never known the beauty of coding. I truly believe that majority of our learnings in life happens through these challenges that life throws at us given we are always ready to fight them.
