If your first instinct is to run away from failures, then perhaps you’re doing it the wrong way!
–Mr. Kumar Mangalam Birla
In the past 23 of years of life I came across many challenging situations in my life, Be it leaving home to go in a boarding school at the early age of nine and feeling a gap being a Hindi a medium student, to being a non-ambitious and carefree guy at teenage, to facing challenging financial and emotional situations. Like everybody else in the lot I have experienced it all but thing which marks me different from the lot is ‘Perseverance’.
Bootstrapped my way out..!!
One situation which stands out is when I was in my 6th semester of engineering and due to some of my unproductive habits I have got myself tangled into quagmire situations when I realized its time ‘Reboot’ my mental and emotional system and work towards a better life. It was quite challenging for a guy with poor communication skill and a pity score of 35 in HSC boards Mathematics to clear competitive exams heavily based these subjects but with determined mindset I started preparing with fundamental of ‘Consistency’ and started devoting an hour a day to study, then 2 hours, then 3 hours and at last 6 -8 hours of study a day and finally Consistency and Perseverance paid off with excellent marks in competitive exams where I Scored 99.98%ile in Mat, 98.34%ile in CAT and 96%ile in XAT with all the section marks going above 92%ile and bailed out myself and within same period I started analyzing companies in the stock market and invested little amount time-to-time from my savings for a better and endeavoring future and understood the importance of Planning, Investing and ‘Bootstrapping’.
