When life takes a tough turn
Why does optimism seem to take a u-turn
It is then we must persist
And our goals should be met no matter
what the tryst
It is then we must look up
And keep at our dreams and step up
Life is never as simple as two plus two equals
four. Enough and more has been said about its many aspects and facets but one
key ingredient to a successful and happy life is optimism. Optimism is the
ability to look up no matter how grave the circumstances are and put a brave
face on everything. The never say die attitude is also a very important part of
this mixture. Life may throw many difficult circumstances at us, but it is in
our interests to look for the opportunity every bleak circumstance hides in its
wings. It is through these adverse circumstances we discover our inner strength
and become better people.
Placement season in colleges around the country is
the time when this ingredient and attitude of looking up no matter what makes a
great difference to your morale and can even influence the outcome of the
results. Don’t they say what you believe, you
achieve! My first hand experience with this phenomena was at the recent
placement drive held in my college. As
the placement season started the college wore a look of trepidation. All the
students were huddled in various groups discussing the companies that were to
come and how would things pan out. The most trending topic of discussion was
around who would be the first to be placed at the first day companies came to
campus.
Being interested in a particular field, my one
prime worry was whether I would get placed in a field of my choice. That time
was full of anxiousness and butterflies in my stomach. Looking at all my
friends being place one by one and other great guns missing the companies of
their dreams is a nightmarish experience. It is here that looking up and
continuing to envision a positive outcome will work wonders.
Dejection should never be the order of the day.
Optimism should rule. Even if you don’t get what you had hoped you would, you
must realize it is for a better cause. Something much greater and better, more
aligned to what your dreams are, is about to happen. The only thing we need to
have is patience and look up and continue to put our best foot forward in
everything that we do.
I followed this principle and was successful in
getting a placement of my choice in the field I desired. Looking up really made the difference and I
shared this with many of my close friends too. So look up and keep on working
on your dreams without giving up and what you desire will come to you.
