How I overcame challenges to achieve your ambitions in life so far.

The thing that challenges me the most is peer competition. I have a want to be the best in whatever I do and I think everyone has that. Though, I can not always be the best but having someone better than me in my peer group challenges me and motivates me to improve my performance and try to cross his/her level of performance. This works for me at all tasks I take up be it studies, competitions or any field I enter. I have an instance regarding the same to share. During the second year of my college I participated in a business proposal innovating competition in which I failed because I lacked proper research and structuring. The fact that I did not win and someone else did challenged me and motivated me to perform better the next year. This time with proper research and study, I was able to achieve the first position in the same competition. According to me this quality drives me to success in most of the cases. The more the competition I have, the better I perform. Another challenge for me is pressure. A few years earlier, I was totally unable to perform under pressure but with continuous determination and adopting activities of calmness of mind, I could overcome this challenge. To achieve calmness, I always used to get indulged in my hobbies along with my academic tasks. Most of the times, I resorted to cooking which is a stress buster for me.
