What makes one stand out in an overwhelmingly difficult situation is one’s ability to handle a crisis that sometimes threatens to destabilise them. In a difficult situation, you are left with a fraction of a second to take a decision that may either save you from the crisis or make you a vulnerable victim.
Around a year back, I met with a horrible accident just three months before I was supposed to appear for my midterms. When I realised that I had met with an accident, I immediately informed my parents through a call although I was bleeding profusely. And somehow, maybe due to the rush of adrenaline, I went to pick up my scooter and started driving towards a hospital before the people stopped me. What I am trying to say is, instead of feeling sorry for myself, I immediately think of a plan to counter the problem I’m facing. It took me more than a month to fully recover from this accident. The MBA entrances were really close at that point in time. But somehow this accident also made me introspect. As soon as I recovered, I started preparing for the MBA entrances quite seriously. That effort helped me get into one of the top B-Schools of India. So, accidents do happen in life but most of the times they teach us a few important lessons. After my accident, I realised that a small act of carelessness can cost you heavily. It sometimes puts your career, your future or your life at stake. Moreover, if you confront an adverse situation, which may seem unnerving at the outset, you have to gather courage, both physical and mental to face the crisis rather than crumbling down under its pressure or running away from it.
