“Challenges make you discover things about yourself that you never really knew.”
- Cicely Tyson
“When we tackle obstacles, we find hidden reserves of courage and resilience we did not know we had. And it is only when we are faced with failure do we realise that these resources were always there within us. We only need to find them and move on with our lives.”
- Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam
Carrying forward the message provided in the aforementioned words, I would like to start by saying that I believe challenges do bog us down initially, but if we face them and overcome them, the success, we get after that tastes much better. I remember, before my 10th board exams, I was diagnosed with dengue and even had to be hospitalized when my condition kept on deteriorating. Even after recovering from dengue, I had to regularly go for tests, because my heart and liver had got affected. Due to this, a lot of days were wasted and there was very less time for me before the board exams. I was very upset as I thought there was no chance I would even pass. But somehow I studied and gave the exams and got 78%, which is not at all good, but was much more than what I thought I would get. The two major lessons that I learnt were that one should never give up and that one should always have a positive attitude, whatever may be the situation.
