Challenges are a part of everyday life of an individual. Most of the times, they make you stronger and without them, life becomes somewhat meaningless as we have nothing to compare the good times to. Every challenge brings about a different change in one's personality and it helps a person Evolve. Ever since the time LPG was introduced Companies faced challenge after challenge, but few companies managed to stand the test of time, one of them - the Aditya Birla Group. Ever since Mr. Kumar Mangalam Birla took over in 1995, the company has scaled new heights and has managed to score big in the Global Market.
Perhaps the biggest challenge that I've faced in life was when I was 6-year-old. I was diagnosed with a Vertical Squint in my left Eye – a condition wherein one eye is misaligned in the Vertical direction – a rare condition that needed me to Visit the AIIMS in Delhi because Medical Practitioners in my Hometown of Indore were unable to prescribe the treatment for the same. After getting the Eyes checked it came to the notice of the Doctor that I didn't have any vision in my left eye at all. So, after performing the necessary operation for curing the Squint, I was asked to undergo a medical process used by Ophthalmologists for retinal disorders called Occlusion in which I had to keep my working Right Eye entirely closed for 6 days a week straight for the next 1.5 years. This is when life went from perfectly colourful and sharp to a blurred image of its past in an instant for me. I did face a lot of problems coping with children from the Batch and being updated on what was going around. But I did not lose hope and went about my business in the usual way albeit all the hardships surrounding me. I appeared for my assessments orally and cleared all the exams successfully.
Another such incident was when I failed to clear the CA Final Examination in the very first go. That was my first notable academic failure in the 18-year span of getting there. I was distraught and inconsolable at the point. But then I realized a little more efforts and focus was all that was needed to get over the line eventually. So, I stuck at it and worked tirelessly until I was able to fulfil my dreams.
There have a lot of challenges in the way so far but something that can be taken away from those challenges is that Hard Work and perseverance are the keys to eventually achieving whatever you want.
