LIFE, whether you make it or not!

Life is a continuous process. There will always be new challenges and new opportunities coming your way. Whether you make it through your respective competitive exams or not, it is not the end of the world. In fact, it is just the starting of it. There are many more things that you will realize along the way. There would be bigger challenges, bigger road blocks and better opportunities in life. And that is something I can assure you about.

Success is defined differently by different people. For you, it might be cracking this exam, for someone else it might be losing 10 kg of weight while for a third person, it could be landing themselves into a job that they love. So, if you think this exam is the end of the world, I am sorry to say this my friend, but you are wrong. You are just starting out life and the possibilities are immense.

When I was in Kota, all I thought about was IIT and making it through this exam. Life would be all easy after that. That is an over-statement. I also thought about the repercussions of not making it through the exam. It terrified me. But when I got into college and faced the life thereafter, I realized that it was all an illusion. There would always be new challenges in life. And the best thing about this city of Kota is that it teaches you how to fight, to not give up, persevere and emerge as a winner in all walks of life.

What you learn in class about life is more valuable than the academics that will be flushed out after you appear for this exam. What remains with you is the experience. That’s what matters. It is your attitude that determines your altitude.

There is always an option to make your life better at any point of time you choose to. Change your thoughts and you change your actions. Change your actions and you change your habits. Change your habits and you change your results. And this is valid for everyone, whether you are 16 years old or 60 years young.

I won’t pour out much about life here in this article and would rather let you experience things on your own as you walk along this journey of life. All I wish to say is YES, try it! Give it your best! Put in the efforts like you never have and the results will come.

But just in case things don’t seem to work out at the time, it is not the end of the world. There are better things coming your way, there are always better opportunities, good things waiting to happen. You just have to go out and grab them!
