The Aditya Birla Group also indirectly impacts my life by taking measures to improve our society and country and making it a better place for all of us to live. Its CSR initiatives in Healthcare, Education, Livelihood, Infrastructure and its endeavour in making model villages is indeed making our society better. The Group is also acting responsible towards its actions which will impact the future generations and has thus rightly taken Sustainability into account. This is how Aditya Birla Group is big in my life.
How have I overcome challenges to achieve my ambitions in life so far?
Challenges are a part and parcel of life. A life without challenges will be too boring. Challenges test your resilience towards difficult or unknown situations. They make you wiser and improve your capabilities. The most important thing is to challenge yourself to greater heights. Each challenge that you set for yourself should help you become better.
Recently, the challenge that I faced was taking admission in a reputed business school. The challenge was two-fold: 1) since I was in my final year of graduation, I had to prepare for competitive entrance exams along with studying for my graduation semester exams; and 2) I was on a certain backfoot compared to other aspirants during interviews because I am a fresher. But I was determined to secure my future in a reputed school. Hence, I applied full concentration in order to succeed, despite attending college daily. The challenges I encountered were that I had to allocate appropriate time for studying for both my semester exams and entrance exams. For this, I developed a time table so that I do not lag behind in any of the things. Also, there is a certain stigma surrounding the level of competition and difficulty of entrance exams. To overcome this challenge, I decided to compare my current performance only with my past performance and not get bogged down by the score of others. In essence, I decided to compete with myself- I set targets for each mock so that I could improve every time. Also, I was determined to perform better than those aspirants who had work experience. Such planning helped me overcome my hurdles and finally helped me take admission into Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies, Mumbai.
