“The key to life is accepting challenges. Once someone stops doing this, he’s dead.” – Bette Davis
Don`t Stop, My t-shirt quote displays my character. I believe that life is full of learning experiences. As we grow up we come across different challenges which creates a doubt in our mind but we have to face those odds and sail across the storm to achieve our ambition.
I closely follow great personalities and am motivated by their life lessons. Reading their autobiographies tell us how we need to tackle the challenges and achieve the goal. It is very important to remain cool-headed at times when the delta skill of decision making is needed and that is where the stories motivate me to keep going.
Apart from that, I am a very outgoing person. I talk to people who are just above me in terms of professional hierarchy or in the experience of personal life. That gives me a broader perspective and helps to steer my thought in the right direction. It’s not about failing instead of picking self and learning why the failure occurred and then start again positively.
I will tell one of my professional experience, where the requirements were changed at the very last moment. We organised a marathon brain-storming session that day and prioritised the task. After hours of discussion, I was asked the prepare the deck freshly. It was challenging for me as I was preparing the deck for the first time and also the time to impress the client. I overcame this situation by going through the previous submissions to the client, their feedback on it and incorporated the team`s idea into a fresh deck. The client was happy with our structured approach and we succeeded in delivering the solution within the stipulated time.
So, here also network and guidance from the seniors helped me to achieve the target. The lesson is to always build a network and seek advice from the people who might have faced the same situation earlier. It will lessen the effort and take close to the race line.
