Look up as optimism is the best way forward

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.
