So I got this opportunity to express my words on a very
interactive session hosted by Offline LinkedIn Community meet up i.e. Success
and Failures.
So here we start!
I believe at some point of the stage you all have some failures
and success in your life but the weight of success and failure bucket for each and
everyone is different. I present you my part of the story for success and failures
which I have shared at the meetup and I got the speaker of the day award ๐.
Oscar Auliq-Ice said “It
is not a matter if you fail, but how well you fail.”
Since my childhood, I was considered a brilliant and sharp
minds in my family and I did prove it by managing to score above 90% every
time from class 1st to class 9th, but in my high schools
I managed to score only 89%, at that point of stage I felt like I failed to
prove my family that I am a bright child so there is my failure count 1, and
again I tried to prove myself in my Intermediate but again I failed I secured
88.20%, so that counts failure number 2 to my story. Just after my high schools
I started preparing for engineering entrance exams like IIT JEE & AIEEE, I
failed for the 3rd time by not clearing the IITJEE but I managed to
secure a decent rank in AIEEE and I got admission into one of the most
pioneered engineering college MNNIT
Allahabad and that’s how my success count number 1 begins, someone said you
should never lose hope as well quoted in the movie and one of my best:
“Hope is a good thing, maybe
the best of things, and no good thing
ever dies.”

At the starting of the college days, I was pretty much excited
by the freedom we got there and it leads to my failure number 4 which is I
didn’t score a good CPI, I scored 6.15 out of 10 since then I promised to
myself I will never secure this much low CPI in the next coming semesters and I tried hard to keep my words and I succeeded so that is the victory ✌ no. 2 for me. The crucial time for
me when I was in the college final year and the placement time was begun and at
this moment of time while I am writing this I can proudly say that I was successfully failed
to clear the Interview in 12 companies and in all of the Interviews I was
rejected in the final stages of the round. Let me share with you an Interview
experience at my college with BPCL,
so 100+ students enrolled for this company and the 1st stage was
written round I cleared it, 2nd round was a group discussion I
cleared that too, 3rd round was level 1 Interview in which they
asked about the technical questions and I cleared that too also and I made it
to the final stage of Interview in which only 10 candidates were selected and I
was like on top of the world, but at the end when the results came out my name
was not there on the selected candidates and I was rejected this time
successfully for the 16th time including all the Interviews and the
success counts are still 2. When I heard the result I directly went to my room
and I started crying and told my family and I didn’t make it this time also and
I started listening to the songs on my phone, well listening to music somehow
helped me to get carried away with the situation & I will tell you how,
when I played the music player & I chose the song from one of my best
movies “Udaan” and the song was “Kahani”( Kahani khatam hai ya shuruat hone ko
hai), and when the song ended a new song “Laree
Chooti” started playing automatically and I was still crying, this song was
from the movie “Ek chaalis ki last
local” and I started listening very carefully because the first line got my attention towards it, the first line is “Wo
kehte hai na jo bhi hota hai acche ke liye hota hai, Galat kehte hai” and I
thought considering my situation being rejected in the Interview the song was
taking me in some direction and I started listening to the lyrics very
carefully and at the end of the song I got my answer, the above line mentioned
suddenly changed to “Wo kehte hai na jo hota
hai acche ke liye hota hai, Sahi kehte hai”. I realized that listening to
this song is not a coincidence, the god is telling me something through these
songs that this is not the end of the world.
Finally, I got a job from campus placement in the retail giant
company “Future Group”, so I can say
that success bucket list increased to 3. In short, I failed 16 times and succeeded only 3 times and
this keeps me motivated to fail and fail again so that the next victory that
comes into my bucket is sweeter so that it can overcome all of my failures I had
experienced earlier. As I earlier said, it is just the weight of your
success and failures bucket list.
Straight from the heart!!!
