A lil about myself !

As individuals, we all have seen some dreams for ourselves and many of us wish to fulfill them.  As for myself, I have always seen this dream of graduating from an eminent and a top-notch university with a recognized degree in my hand. I can only imagine myself on the day of my convocation with a graduation hat,  dressed up neatly in charcoal black toga embellished with parchments of my name. I certainly cannot wait for the day I officially enroll into the university of my choice. But, this is just the beginning of my dream!

I have always described myself to be a person who is extremely enthusiastic, communicative and acquires sheer joy in learning. In fact, I relish a fulfilled educational experience and would love to indulge in even greater experiences in life. I have always disliked comparisons and widely hold my belief in the fact that every individual in unique in his or her own way. We all have different approaches towards life and share a different perspective. In addition, we all possess distinctive skills and have a set of our 'likes' and 'dislikes'. A comparison is an unfair mean of analyzing a person. It just undermines one's potential and scope.  We all have a different perception because each and every one of use are DIFFERENT.

I highly savor challenges. I want to make sure that I challenge myself at every point in time. I feel that a challenge enlightens one's inner potential and enhances your capability. As far as I know myself, I always tend to perform better in those things which I take and regard as a 'challenge'. I feel that the 'challenge' which I embrace serves as a medium that tests my abilities, work habits and skills. In the 16 years of my life that I have lived, the most important lesson that I have been taught by my parents is to never take anything for granted.  Overconfidence is the key to failure. Respect every blessing which the Almighty has endowed upon you and thank him endlessly.  Never take pride in anything you do. None of us have the license to be proud or selfish.

I also believe that a person should be a 'good sport'. By that, I mean to say that a successful person is someone who is appreciative of other's work and embraces their weaknesses. I have also said this in my previous blog posts, that one should learn to accept criticisms as it may be constructive to them in the long run. Our weaknesses and failures help us to evolve as persons and spark a willingness to succeed within us. As we undergo certain experiences, we emerge from our baby mould. My teachers have always taught me to anticipate challenges in life and grasp opportunities.

Our world is similar to a masked ball with manipulative people all around. This is the time when our learning experiences will assist us in life. Whenever you encounter a failure in life, do not blame your luck or say that it was all because of a bad omen. Take it as a test!  Embrace the problem with an attitude of positivity and keep you belief firm. The flow of positivity in your veins is what will help you to flourish in your future endeavors.  Never let anyone shatter your hopes and beliefs. There used to be a time, when even a little of criticism was adequate to demoralize me and tarnish my hopes. However, as time passed by, I had realized that ups and downs are a part of everyone's lives. We all will face failures at some point in time. But, it depends on how each one of us handles the situation. A successful individual is definitely someone who tackles a situation in the best and most convenient of ways.

My parents have always served as my mentors and continue to inspire me in every aspect of my life. My beloved mother taught me to be strong and never leave my passion aside. She always supported me in every step of my life and immensely encouraged me. A wise man once said, "Mother hold our hands at the beginning, but they continue to hold our hearts for the rest of our lives."  My mother always confided in me and that is something which strengthens my abilities and makes me a more capable and an esteemed person.  On the other hand, my dad is my role model.  He is a self-made individual who has always taught me to be calm and patient at all the times. In fact, he is the one who has fuelled my dreams and passion and I simply cannot thank him enough for that. Both my parents have taught me to adhere to the right path and always be honest. Today, I feel that I can somewhat distinguish between right and wrong, just because of them. Their unconditional love and concern for me makes me feel more special and happier. They helped me establish as a compassionate, assertive and an empathetic individual.

My mantra is to 'Live your life to the fullest!'

Life is a roller coaster ride with its hurdles and a few dramatic twist and turns. However, it is most important for us to enjoy our life and make the best out of it.

Thank you!
