What inspires me?

A question that can make me to think over my life, to ponder on my past for a whole night again and thus increasing my count of sleepless night from 4 to don’t know how many. Thanks to this new start in my life (MBA), I am getting used to these sleepless nights.

So talking about inspiration, for many person inspiration comes from the life of their parents, some incidence that they have faced in their life, some of the situation that happened in the life of their friends and don’t know. In my opinion you can get inspired from anything of this universe, from a grass, which get its life back again after getting crushed from the barefoot of human who unknowingly do this as a health practice, from an ant who carries enormous weight as food to feed up its colony without knowing that it can come under the step of a human or get killed in next fractions of second, from a common man who wake up early morning and after doing hard work in different places take care of his/her family.

But what about me? Which was the moment who inspired me throughout my life? Was it during my schooling day where I studied under the hut-classes and secured top ranks throughout my schools till 10^th class without getting worried about my future as a carefree and studious boy? Was it my competitive exams preparation of IIT/AIEEE for which I was studying day and night rigorously without thinking about my 12^th class exams and thus getting a prostate cancer of  academic career ( a below 70% marks in my 12^th from which I am suffering at this time too sadly but true) just to get a seat in TIER-1 engineering colleges? Was it the fun, experience, friendship or the knowledge I gathered at my ALMA-MATER which changed my course of life and gave me an exposure of the world outside of IIT/AIEEE preparation for which the boys of my native land are known for ? Was it the hardship, frustration and relative’s special critics (a life-long gift to you if you are a true Indian) I received after sitting idle for 8 months in the recession period even after getting a job in my campus job selection and thus struggling once again for getting a decent job to once again come out of my native land known for struggling students? Was it the overnight journeys from Patna (my native land ) to Kolkata ( where I used to give my centre location just to follow a rumor that people from west Bengal get selected easily ) to appear in different govt. exams ? Was it the first taste of corporate life or the internal politics or the 2 lowest rating (need to improvement, seriously!!)  that’s too back to back , which I didn’t get used to in my 3+ year of work ex in a company where I secured my job offer after 3 rigours interviews ? Was it my 5 attempts at CAT , or kind of my madness to bell the CAT which I was following since the last year of my college through which finally I landed into a centre of excellence finally ?

Might be, some of the people can get inspired by me after listening my whole life of story. Even I heard myself 1 or 2 comment from third person, they must be joking.

I can’t be a point of inspiration for anyone.

I can inspire only one person truly and that’s ME. Yes, I am the person from which I get inspired. I was the one who faced all the ups and downs in my life, sailed my boat of life by myself with the support of my family and friend. It was me only who fought back with every situation of my life whether it was an education related problem , work ex related problem, career related problem or most importantly a decent girlfriend-search related problem.

This search, this hardship, these ups and downs are associated with my life and only I am the only one who can come over it.

You know they say “It’s written”. It is written however the path has to be made by you,yourself only.
