The Struggle for a Career

 

It all started in 1981, November the 28th in Delhi the capital of the famous country of India. It was a festive day of light called Diwali. The festival when one of our gods came back from living in the forest after 14 years. They celebrated his come back with lights and crackers. Well, that day a boy named Raman woke up in the age of 17 and got scared because of the noise of those loud fireworks and crackers. Raman wanted to travel a lot of places around the globe. He couldn’t travel because of his financial limitations. The people at that time didn’t have that much freedom to travel so easily. They had to be the age of 20 to get a passport and travel at that time and now. He did not like that rule because it was useless of him to wait only for 2 more years, but the passion of traveling was their already.

 

This person was smart with his mind usage. He tried out to be in Foreign Service for India, so that he can travel anywhere in the world. He was a person who never backed down to what he had to reach. He was a person who determined for his goal even if his family would deny or refuse him to. If they did not want him to study in the house, he would by himself go to a park 5km away from his house only study and his parents would say “you’re waking up at the morning 5 o’clock just for that stupid thing of yours. I have been listening to his stories and I was so inspired from this person that I feel like doing the same. He studied and studied until the day came for him to put all those efforts in for the test or the qualification. He was nervous being the youngest person there. He told me people were actually way prepared than, he was and he would not even reach 800th place between 1000 people. There is this phrase I remember I think matches with this part. It is “FORTUNE FAVOURS THE BRAVE.” You may be wondering why I chose this phrase. This is because he was this type of person who always looked at his task and not anything else (not even his family). Look what his result was he was 4th between thousands and thousands of people. That’s what you get if you work that hard for only one task. He could have done something else for that achievement, but it would just be wasting your lifetime. He had something to say “If you got some guts, use those guts.” Just after 3 months or so he was done with all the formalities, he was ready to go anywhere for working and enjoying his life. He enjoyed it so much that he actually felt like he is the king of the world. He went to his best friend’s house and told him and then his family joined him with his joy because he proved them wrong that he is the person who can make impossible things actually possible. That day wasn’t Diwali, but for Raman it was.

 

Raman thinks that everything you do is possible and if you put all your effort in that achievement you want to get. He believes that nothing is impossible if you give it all you got. Your life is very short so you better want to use it like Raman did in his life. Never back down even though you’re bad at it. What if you are really bad at studying can’t you devote more time n studying than fooling around doing nothing useful? Well that’s how it ended; he became a successful person in his life by following his heart.
