Be it the Cricket field or the race in school or corporate to achieve excellence or top performance. I have never shied away from tough challenges life has thrown at me. One of the first challenges which life threw at me was my inability to score well in mathematics. Mathematics is the pain point for many students but there is a way which if you choose to do in your life will help you overcome these barriers in practice. Practice makes a person perfect is what we have heard a lot of time and trust me it works. With dedicated practice, I started improving my zealousness for Mathematics. Similarly, being an all-rounder for my cricket team at my college I was required to provide the 3-D package to my team by performing excellently with all the three departments of batting, bowling, and fielding. But my bowling was not helping the team as being an off-spinner I didn’t have the wrong-un (the stock ball which spins the other way). At the same time, R. Ashwin made a lot of waves in the Indian Premier League with his carrom balls. So, I started watching his Youtube videos and practiced it for three straight months to master the art and help my team with my all-around capabilities.
Now coming to the brief time in the corporate which I had spent the most important challenge I faced was to learn new programming languages at a quick time because as the IT industry was facing the threat from Machine learning and Artificial Intelligence one needed to quickly upgrade them to match the current industry needs and stay relevant. Again, practicing a lot helped me in upgrading my skills and gain good projects which provided me a platform to perform and shine.
Practice in the mantra of my life.
