“The world isn’t all sunshine and
rainbows…”
“It is a very mean and
nasty place. It will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if
you let it. You, me or nobody is going to hit as hard as life. But it isn’t
about how hard you hit, it is about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward,
how much can you take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done!” – Rocky Balboa (2006)
Whenever I am depressed I read this
quote, it motivates me a lot. Today was really a challenging day for me. It is
so true that life is not a movie or a play where things will always happen the
way you want. After coming here to BG, I learned so many new things, and I was
very lucky to find nice people around me (99% lucky). But, it is also true that
I found some people who are there to challenge you about your existence. I
agree that it can be hard sometimes, to sustain yourself here in a competitive
environment while also trying to manage all the other changes like weather, a
new culture, new people, a new style of academics. But believe me guys, if you
are planning to come here to achieve something, then you must be ready to work
hard for it. It takes a lot of courage and you should be proud of
yourself.
So be positive and get ready for
the next challenge of your life. If you really work hard, you WILL achieve your
dreams. I know that students face so many issues when they are out of their
comfort zone, and they are scared about it, but I learned one thing: If
you work hard, you get it because you deserve it. So just trust yourself
and things will be fine. So get ready and pack your bags, and remember the
saying “Never give up and never stop believing.”
Cheers,
Vidya
