As human beings, we all face certain challenges at different points in our life, but the important thing about these challenges is that they help us to grow for the future. The key to overcome the challenges in our life is a positive attitude and positive personality towards the challenges.

During my life, I have faced many challenges, and have also tried to use those challenges as a tool to learn a thing or two out of all those challenges. One of the challenges that I faced was during my junior college in standard 12th, it was my first time presenting about a topic to the entire class. There was a stage fear which was holding me back of speaking smoothly in my presentation.

But, to overcome my stage fear, I needed to practice continuously so that it should not be a reason again in any of my future presentations. And that’s what I did, I started practising my stage fear to the smaller crowd which for me was my friends. Slowly as I practised, the stage fear in me was reducing, thus helping me in addressing a larger crowd. Coming to Mumbai for an MBA is also one of the challenges that I faced in the form of getting acquainted with the city. It is hard to live in a city which is not your home. But, slowly trying to know everyone and everything about the city is what made me feel comfortable living in Mumbai.

So the key to overcome my challenges was to have an attitude of “I can” and not “I cannot”. Positivity coupled with continuous practice in handling the challenges is a very efficient way that one can use to deal with any problem in one’s life. All the challenges have helped me to get through my tough period and also have helped me to achieve my ambitions in life.
