Aditya Birla Group has been part of my life for very long, so long that I cannot even

remember when I had started using its products. But when I look back on how

Aditya Birla Group Product has changed my perspective towards life, one particular

incident during my undergrad college days is very close to my heart.

It was the rainy season. Those days, my roommate and I were preparing for the

placements. We both are preparing for our dream companies. After the hot

summers of Ahmedabad, the rain gave us some relief. Also, my roommate got was so

happy that he got an interview call from his dream company. After getting ready, he

went for the interview. After 15 minutes, he came back to the room in a muddy shirt.

Some truck didn't see the puddle and all the mud was splashed on him. The time

was very less and he had to reach on time. His dream job was on stake. His other

formals were still wet. There was no time to go to any shop and buy a new pair.

Being a die heart fan of Peter England formals, I am very possessive about my Peter

England formals. I had never given my formals to anybody. But that time, I don’t

know what strikes me, I asked him to try my formals and if it’s fitting properly or

not. I hadn't think twice and gave my favorite pair of Peter England formals to him. I

saw some relief on his face after seeing the extra pair of formals. After he tried the

formals, the pair was fitting perfect to him. In Evening, when he came back to the

room, He just hugged me tight and said that that gesture gave him so much

confidence and interview panel liked that. I couldn't imagine that the person who

was about to cry in front of me that he couldn't go to the interview in the muddy

shirt, he went to the interview and cracked it. He got his dream job. It was just like

magic for him. He couldn't believe it.

That day, I learn two things, that change my entire perspective towards life. First,

your dressing or your clothes can have a great impact on your confidence. Bad

appearance or clothes have the power to lower your confidence. And a good

appearance or good clothes can make you feel more confident. It has the power to

boost your confidence. Second, We ignore small things that matter a lot. We ignore

small gestures that matter that can have a huge impact on somebody’s life. To be a

good friend or a good human being you don’t need to do big things. You don’t need

to be a superhero. Sometimes small things can lead to great impact. It can be giving

your formal pair, or giving small advice or even giving a genuine smile which can

make a day of a person. We don’t know how these small gestures can impact the

lives of people around us.
