Keep Moving- TAPMI

 The year after my graduation is the hardest I have had till now. It’s difficult to manage several things at once but what I found more difficult was to not have several things to occupy your mind. Like many of us I too decided to take an year break to study for CAT. Little did I know that I am not like everyone else. Unlike every other friend of mine, I wasn’t able to concentrate on studies or to handle the pressure of not being able to do one thing which I decided on.
I who had always excelled in academics and simultaneously have been a president of an NPO, could not do one thing properly.
With failure comes jealousy, I was jealous of my friends’, brother’s success. It was difficult to talk to them and hear them move forward. I started locking myself in and did not use to talk to anyone for days. My parents got worried.
The exams came and went. I somehow took the exam, knowing that the results will be bad. It was at this time my mother told me what’s the most important thing in life, to keep moving forward. Rather than looking back and to keep regretting it, it’s better to learn and move.
I soon joined a firm. It was from here on my determination became strong and I was able to work as well as study at that time and able to get into a good business school.
