Hello Readers. How often we hear our
parents , teachers and our well wishers saying—“ Failures are the stepping
stones to success”. But, do we ever give a thought to it??Hmm..I ,too, was one
among them, until then. But the day came and things started changing.
A real
transformation did come from a boy who was not even sure of doing something
good even in his own city ( Mathura ) to a boy who started dreaming
of getting an AIR under 100 in JEE, from a boy who used to dream of being first
in his class to one who started dreaming of being first in his state, from a
boy who used to feel low about himself
to one who started setting high standards for himself. The NTSE ( in
class 8th) turned out to be that life changing event.
The words of Late Dr. Kalam-“ Be Unique. Be
Remembered.”- used to echo inside my head day and night but, never got answer
to it. It seemed as if the entire world was trying to pull me into that-‘ Just
Everybody’ zone. But soon, got answers
to all my questions. The treatment and encouragement I started getting from my
friends and teachers, especially Mrs. Rajni Nautiyal ( my first and forever Guide) just by clearing NTSE-Level 1 gave birth to a
new ‘ME’. I got the answer to-“What I will be remembered for?". I worked as hard
as I could to succeed but finally could not cross the line ( NTSE-Level2). But
indeed, I got to know the battle I was supposed to fight for the next four
years and the solution of being the ‘Unique Me’.Then came the golden phase of my life .
Being in
full confidence, I had probably acquired the ‘Midas Touch’. Thanks to Indian
Government for conducting NTSE in class 10th as well when I left no
stone unturned and finally became the ‘NTSE Scholar’. That incident taught me the importance of failure. It simply depends on how you take it.Had that Exam not come
into my life, I might have not even made to BITS Pilani writing a blog and
sharing my experiences!!!
