How you overcame challenges to achieve your ambitions in life so far?

Challenges are what make our life interesting, and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful. With this thought, I have always tried to tackle the challenges that life has thrown at me. I believe that after each challenging hurdle that we cross, it makes us more prepared to face the upcoming challenges. One such situation was when I was working for a consultancy in Chandigarh, where I had spent around one and a half years and was getting into the role of managing the new recruits to train them and help them do the projects as required by the job. At that part of my career, I realized that managerial skills are very much necessary to grow up the ladder. Although I was getting those skills through experience, there was no streamlined process, which made me think of MBA as my next educational goal. As every aspirant would want, I also wanted to get into one of the top colleges in the country. So, I had started preparing for the entrance exams after the working hours were over, but it was getting very hectic as my job required me to read hundreds of documents in a day and studying after that was becoming impossible. I had to the take the decision of quitting the job, so that I could give my all time to studying. This period was a very tough one, the question that what if I don’t get a good college mentally weakened me. But I took it as a challenge and prepared well enough and got admission in one of the good management schools in India.
