“Positivity, confidence, and persistence are key in life, so never give up on yourself”.

 

“Never give up.” It’s probably one of the most common phrases you heard since your childhood. There’s a reason these sayings are common because you never know when success really comes to hit you in the next corner or may punch you in the nose.

Hi, I am Shreya, I was a hardworking and a studious girl and preparing for NEET a medical entrance examination. I was quite assured that I will crack the exam with a good rank. I was putting all my effort to do the same. My family was supporting me in all the ways possible. My father’s biggest dream was to see me as a doctor.

But nothing happened as I had thought. Suddenly happiness and smile left me all alone and I was not the same chirpy girl as I was. What had happened to me (I wondered)? I became the victim of the world’s most disastrous thing. How come I had got failed in my examination, In spite of burning with night oil. People constant taunt me “What will I do in my life?” And I was also started feeling the same. I had started shying away when I meet people. Now what? What am I going to do? “But I remind myself failure is not the end of life, it is just a step to success.”

“Failure is Only the Opportunity to Begin Again More Intelligently.” – Henry Ford

In spite of all pressure and fear, I gathered all my strength and appeared in one more attempt. But the result was the same. One more failure was added to my account. Now people considered me a good for nothing girl. And I thought the same way about myself.

I refused to give the exam again and started to believe I’m not meant to be a doctor. My father was thinking that I am getting lazy and I am not in a good company. So, he became tough towards me. He stopped me from meeting my friends and going outside of the house. I had begun to hurt.

Gradually, I stopped talking with my family members too and I withdrew into a shell. I was not a lazy tortoise but… One day one of my friends came to meet me, I shared what I was going through, and she advised me to act immediately.

I also wanted to see myself chirpy girl once again. So, I followed my friend’s advice. I made a few lifestyle changes that began to show up.

Meanwhile, I started thinking that I need to do something to restart my career. I realized that I am fundamentally a creative soul and an MBA with specialization in marketing communication would suit me well. I googled and applied for admission to one of the good universities abroad. I talked to my father regarding the same and convinced him that I have a bright future over there.

I got up with all my strength and energy and gave the entrance exam of that university and got the admission. I went there and completed my graduation. It was a life-changer for me.

I started my own business in Sidney and run it successfully, and I was running it successfully. I lead a team of 50 and treat them as a family.

I am very grateful to my father who understood me and gave me the freedom to make choices. Due to that, I have been able to reach this milestone.

Now I am not a job seeker anymore, I am a Job creator. “I fell seven times and stood up eight”
