I frequently question myself-'Have I become the scriptwriter of my destiny?'. Many a time ,the answer to this question is never in the affirmative. I dreamt and still dream of a lucrative career (well, not at all a distant utopian dream). I couldn't crack the MBA examination -Common Admission Test. I always had a longing for excellence but no idea of where to go next and how? Nevertheless, I had a longing for glory. As I couldn't crack CAT, the undoing of my mind began.

Well, their financial stature may be at the nadir, but their moral stature is above all and everything.
The valuable insights from the hour long motivational confabulation have indeed assisted me in evening out the bumps and fallacies. They threw some light on the careers of Abraham Lincoln, Mother Teresa, Dr.A.P.J Abdul Kalam and other visionaries. I ultimately assured myself that a failure is indeed a pre-victory gambit.

Knowledge of one's ambition should enrich the cause and preserve the sanctity of mind and soul. Comport yourself with dignity in the profoundest sense of this sentence.
Always remember to extend the unsolicited and unconditional
