Hi Guys,
We live on hopes and aspirations;
it’s that positivity which keeps us going to achieve whatever we want to. We
all want the best for ourselves and to make these dreams a reality we need to
constantly work towards them. Optimism has much more power than any other thing
in the world. It gives you a lot of passion to easily overcome all fears and
limiting thoughts to come out on top.
There are always some great
things happening in our life which keeps our hopes hanging in there. It’s only
at the time of distress we want something to keep us going. It’s during those
moments that something lifts us up to make the journey easier. I too have many
stories of Optimism from my life which brought the necessary power during those
times to get it through.
My story happened at the time
when I was in Class 12th and wanted to sit for the Engineering
entrance exams. I was not much aware about the exams and was only preparing to
pass the class 12th exam. As thought of I was not able to clear the
entrance exam. The next step of action was to be aware about all the courses
which can offer me help to clear the exam. I started watching all the
advertisements in all the newspapers and came to Delhi from my home town. I went and checked
some of the coaching institutes and found out one of the chosen ones near my
relatives home. During that time in 1996, the Kota
effect was not there and only some institutes in Delhi used to offer coaching for engineering
students.
I took admission to the coaching
institute and started living in Delhi.
I was shifted to main centre of the institute and was travelling in Blue lines
buses for the first time. The earlier institute center used to have their bus drop
service available. It was a sudden change in my life as I never used to
remember the route and always was travelling to unknown places in the city.
Sometimes to reach class on time and missing the intended bus, I used to break
the routes.
It was hectic but I stayed
optimistic that I will be able to clear the exam. It looked like I was studying
the class for the first time as the teachers were very great at the institute.
I did whatever I could to clear the exam and always kept hope. I lost both of
my maternal grandparents during that year and it was really sad. But one day,
soon after their death they came to my dreams and my grandmother took me to one
room full of new clothes and asked me to choose whichever I want to wear. She
also offered me in a new jacket and it was so enriching experience and gave me a
hope that elders blessings are with me now.
It was that dream which really
gave me a lot of hope and set the future clear for me. I did my engineering and
learned a lot during that one year in Delhi
which helped me in my journey of life from time to time. I have so many moments
to cherish from that period of my life.
Cheers!!!
