I am somone who is willing to take a few risks. Although I may
be sceptical initially, I would take a try. Some of these (ad)venturous steps
have worked for me in reality. Thinking out of the box and stepping out of one’s
comfort zone is the key.
Our Sports Teacher had asked me if I would be interested in
joining the School Rowing Team. They needed someone who knew swimming. I didn’t
know how I would fare at the sport, but I agreed to go for selection. And not
only did I row in the tournament, I enrolled myself in the Rowing Club and went
on to win many competitions.
My decision to study Architecture was also one such venture
for me – no one in my circle had studied the subject, and I had very vague idea
about the different roles I could play. I had taken the selection test thinking
my good handwriting and fair sketching skills would come in handy. I couldn’t believe
my ears when I was informed that I had been selected!
I may be working as a Transport Planner presently, but my training
facilitates my visualization of a project better and also enhances my
presentation skills. Today, I have the experience of teaching many students,
guiding them to design their projects with practical knowledge and also taking
examinations as external faculty.
Have you taken some risks in your life that have worked for
you in the long run?
