Alike others, I too have faced various challenges in my life. But the biggest challenge that I have faced is failure. I had always been a bright student right from primary school. Being a topper all my life, I could not even imagine that I will ever fail any exam in my life. My first shock came when I failed in my CA final examination. I had easily cleared CPT and IPCC in first attempt adding even more to my confidence. So flunking in CA final exam almost threw my life apart. I can still recall how depressed that made me. Those 3 months after the result and before the second attempt I cannot recall talking, laughing or for that matter living.
However, soon I realized that failure is indeed necessary to make you realise how fulfilling success is. In life, it is necessary to fail otherwise you can never experience the true joy of success. It is a stepping stone to success. The most important thing to do is understand that it is okay to fail. Once you acknowledge failure and decide to learn from it, your life changes forever. Those 3 months were the most disturbing yet most amazing period of my life that transformed my life completely. Today when I proudly add the prefix CA in front of my name, I never forget the failure that I faced, how that inspired me to work even harder than I could ever imagine and transformed me and my life forever.
