Part B: How I overcame challenges to achieve my ambitions in life?

When I was in my school, I found that public speaking was not my best virtue. I was not able to convey the message that I intended to because of various reasons like an unstructured message, stage fear, etc. Two particular instances where my speeches failed to achieve its objective were depressing. I was upset that I could not ace the skill which is utmost important to have an attractive personality. I took the help of social media platforms like Quora and YouTube to improve my public speaking skills. I joined various courses of effective speaking and personality development to practice and implementation of the methods which could improve my public speaking skills, and eventually, IT DID. In my final year, I have held a lot of Position Of Responsibilities and I have addressed a group of more than 600 people thrice in qualitative events. I think what has helped me in achieving that is the clarity in my mind about the objective, persistence and the way I handled myself when I failed to achieve the objectives that I had in my mind.

I follow one rule in my life: Quietly you should endure, silently you should suffer, persistently you should work, and patiently you should wait for success.
