“ I can accept failure. Everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.” – by Michael Jordan
As the quote says, no matter what the outcome is, I like to try what I wish. There was a point in my life where I had no clue about anything.
Unfortunately, after completing my under graduation, I was unable to join the company in which I was placed. That was the point I mentioned earlier. I had no clue what to do. Then, I decided to start preparing for bank exams and civil service exams side by side with the hope that I would succeed in any of them.
One year went, where I realized civil service was not my cup of tea. From that point, I started focusing on bank exams and widen my options like RRB (Railway Recruitment Board) and CAT (Common Admission Test) why because they had similar syllabus. As time passes, I gave every test that came in my way. Many were failures, and but I saw a significant improvement.
So, I went on with the flow. Finally, my hard work and persistence start bearing fruits. As a result, I cracked CAT got admission offers from IIM’s, and after some time, I got the job offer as Probationary Officer in a government bank after I joined the college.
In my past year of an MBA, the main thing I learned is to upskill yourself in the domain in which you want to make your career while having a basic understanding of other fields. Try to implement your learning to a real-world problem, which will help to have a deeper understanding to deal with it.
Don’t restrict yourself to specific options; keep your options open. Don’t stop trying to get what you want.
