Life gives multiple reasons to rejoice, to learn and carry forward
the life with high hopes and aspirations. It is important to be on high spirits
and keep our life going on with good thoughts and positivity in our attitude.
Life presents us with lot of opportunities and we should not be sad if anything
of lesser importance and less happening takes place with us. We should be
optimistic enough to look at life with a great attitude and look for the
opportunities that are best suited for us.
There have been tough times in my life when I have been tested for
my patience and tolerance levels. I would share an incident which taught me to
be optimistic in life and take the life forward in a positive manner.
It was back in 2005 when I wrote my 12th boards. My parents went
for a short trip and on their way back they met an accident. They met some
serious injuries and both of them had to be given quality rest. I was the eldest
sibling in the family. The family position was not so strong to meet the expenses
properly for a long duration. I decided to take up some job and continue my
studies through correspondence. I decided to explore my interest and hobby of
cooking and do something with it.
In those days I decided to cook for the paying guest students in
my area. I started getting calls, because I decided to do my job honestly and
give the students good food. In the beginning, I used to go the student's home
to cook their food. Later on, when I received lots of calls, I decided to start
the tiffin system. My younger brother used to deliver the packets to their
places. I started making good money which could take care of the family members
and also started saving amount from the earnings.
From the saved earnings, I started experimenting new dishes in the
kitchen and they stated turning to be good. With the savings, I invested them
in a small stall near the college campus which had new dishes with varying
flavours. Within no time, it started running well giving me good profits.
I also started taking cooking classes at my home. My parents
started feeling proud of the little steps that I took initially and was doing
good in a short span of time. I decided to give a good diet and support to my
parents, and did not want them to be worried of the family expenses.
Life was turning out to be good and giving me good opportunities
to explore. I decided not to give up and be as much positive as much I can be.
I learnt to be optimistic in life for many situations from there onwards and
explored my interest and hobby of cooking. Thus, it is rightly said to not lose
hopes in the difficult times and be optimistic enough to give our best to life.
