‘IIM huh?’ mocked my classmate Vatsa when he yesterday found me studying during break time.
‘IIMs are beyond our reach mate.’ I replied.
‘Be positive man, nothing is impossible.’ replied the optimist within a fraction of a second.
I could not consider his reply anything other than a mere illusory perception. His beliefs actually are on the same track as of mine; just a year behind. Before a year, I was a firm believer in ‘nothing is impossible’. I still do, but with that belief I also have the realization that achieving ‘impossible’ is a gamble of long odds. For instance, securing 99.9%ile in CAT doesn’t guarantee your enrollment in IIM. Secure 99.9%ile and you are still short of reaching half way there. Its merely a starting point. The real race starts after that; GD, PI etc.
Just saying ‘nothing is impossible’ like my friend did wont help you achieve the impossible. For that you need to work arduous. The only thing I’m saying is that you wont succeed by only believing you will, though you need to, but by doing hard work. Success is hard work. Hard work is success.
