In this highly intellectual and competitive environment, it is important to look beyond, to accept one’s shortcomings with grace and learn with an open mind, to believe in oneself, to stretch one’s boundaries, to chisel one’s strengths and to improve upon one’s weaknesses. In this place which might seem to be overwhelming and unforgiving at first, help is given to those, who ask for it - if one embraces the opportunities and focuses on being the better version of oneself as compared to the person who stepped into the campus.
A B-school shatters your “I am perfect” mould, only to push you towards reaching your true potential. The path may seem dark, but as Professor Dumbledore said, “Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times if one only remembers to turn on the light.”
So, take one step at a time, brace the storm of “failure” and be willing to a whirlwind change in your life – and you are sure to rise like a phoenix from the ashes and experience the magic this place has in store for each one of you!

Loved your spirit. And rightly said,the tougher you become here easier it is to rule the world out.

Pratik Ranjan
Pratik is an MBA candidate at IIM Lucknow. He is an ardent aspiring marketing strategist. His passion for marketing multiplied multifold post his internship with Unilever, where he was conferred with a PPO. Bitten by the entrepreneurial bug & seized by afflatus to read, write & explore, this twenty-something believes in the power of dreaming with his eyes open. He is a columnist in various newsletters and is up for any discussion that involves the nuances of marketing and strategy. P.S: He's charged by the fuel of caffeine.
Captured the true essence. :)
