Potions of Success - TAPMI

As rightly said, “Higher the ambitions, Greater are the hardships”. Almost everyone has some way or the other been through some kind of hardships. Most of these hardships come on the financial fronts. Similar has been the case with me while advancing a step further in my career. I completed my engineering in electronics and telecommunication and realised there are no core companies coming or giving a good package. Like other engineers, even I got into IT company with a decent package. We were supposed to go through a training and clear the test to be a part of that company. This 6 months of training period was a task for me as I had no IT background and zero interest in coding. But to clear the test and sustain in the industry, I had to give in more than 100 percent to cope up with others. Consequently, I was able to clear test as a High Performer and also received a bonus of Rs. 50,000/- for the same. Working for company for 15 months, I realised that I wanted to fly higher, for which I had to enhance my knowledge and skill-set. I decided to go for post-graduation in management. But, I was in a state where I could not afford to quit job and study for entrance exams, nor I had enough money to fund weekend classes. But I was determined to go for post-graduation. I started putting extra hours in schedule just to study and prepare on my own. Since, I was working for a USA based client, my working hours were 9:00 am to 7:00 pm which extended most of the time, in order to attend their evening and morning calls respectively. I borrowed the study material, whatever available, from friends preparing for the exams. I started studying in the morning and cut down my post-work friend time in the evening. I gave up on my Saturdays, Sundays, parties and followed the schedule for three months straight. I was able to crack the exams as well as other rounds of college admission. And now I am finally in TAPMI, one of the premier colleges in India. For me, hard-work, consistency and perseverance are the only key to face challenges which come in my path. And I am ready to face whatever challenges which are waiting ahead until I reach my goal using these three potions of success.
