There is always an incident behind what you want to do. And the same happens to me when I see what I’m good at. I still remember that there was a story writing competition where the first time I participated in the competition with a big hesitation. I was in 7th class and I participated in an inter-school writing competition. The topic was “What is your dream?” and we need to explain about the dream. Time takes me back when I’m writing about my dream again. But today when I’m writing about the dream, everything changes now. My first dream was to become a teacher because the reason was only the blackboard and chalk and how the teacher teaches the student. I also did the same, when I got back home. I remember, I used to write on the walls of my house and my toys became my students. At that time we didn’t have any pressure to show what we were. We only do what we like and the same happened with me. When everyone sleeps in the evening, I write on the wall and when my mother sees me, but doesn’t tell me anything because she knows how much I like doing teaching. Every Sunday I went with my uncle who bought me a box of chalk. But as time passed, we shifted to the house where my father strictly told me not to write on the wall. I missed how I used to write on the wall and teach my toys as students. When I stop these things, I indulge myself in different things and that also includes writing. There was a period in our school when our teacher, taught us about how to write an essay. Today I realized that my favourite period of mine was that because there was an independence which I got at that time, I think I never feel that way before and now also I feel the same. I continued this journey because of the appreciation I got at that time, I never got before that. I started writing in my school magazines and participated in many inter-school writing competitions and bought my first novel in 10th class and as time passed, I started writing imaginative stories and still write that. Currently, I’m doing PGDM and want to make a career in Human Resource Management as this interest also developed after I did an internship in the same. I used to recruit candidates and in the future, I want to explore many other things in this field. But after 6-7 years of my career, I want to make my dream come true by writing a book. Here what I observed was that dream change with time and when you find yourself about what you want to do, everything become possible. There are always some clinches that everyone observes when they move towards their dream and the same is with me. To become something in life but before you achieve that there are still many apps that you need to fulfil. Every day is a new learning and every person learns from their mistakes but when someone makes a mistake it is also very important to improve that mistake. The biggest learning gap that I observe between myself and my dream is time management. Since my graduation, I have observed that it is very tough for me to manage time between my studies and other things that I want to do. The biggest mistake I made was when I completed my work at the end of the day. This mistake I made in my graduation not only became a hurdle between my studies and other dreams but also gave me stress and because of that I lost many opportunities because I always thought about how I manage these things. Because I don’t know how to handle all the things together, there are many stories written by me that are not completed yet. These things are happening because I take a lot of pressure off small things and I seriously think that I need to improve them what I think about my future cannot be completed. Setting a goal to fulfil your dream is the hardest thing to follow. Every day is new learning for us which push us towards our dream. But goal plays a very important role when you know what you want to achieve. In my case, many things are still pending. Setting a specific time and date to complete my work which I left in the middle is very important to notice. Reading books every day related to what I like will help me to explore the different writing styles. I do this daily and this helps me to learn about different writers and their writing styles these all things help me to develop myself as a writer. Chat GPT helped to find the people and books that helped me explore the importance of time management. For example, there was a book written by author Stephen R. Covey- “The 7 Habits of Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Powerful Change” and when I asked to Chat with GPT what can be the best books about time management, it recommended me this beautiful book. This book will help you to increase the productivity and focuses to developing the new habits which will help you to stay on track and eliminating the bad habits by developing your goals and priorities. Chat GPT helped me to find the solutions of my problem if it related to how to tackle stress with the advice that, if we know how to prioritize things then only we will able to achieve what we want. To complete what you plan, there are many things which we need to remember to achieve what we are. Currently I’m doing PGDM and what I observe in these months that there are different activities everywhere and assignment which we need to do in the given time and it is not possible to remember everything, so we really need a pen and paper on which we can write the activities and this will be able to help us to prioritize the things which we want to complete. I still remember that in school we had diaries where we write the homework and assignment which we need to complete on time and that time only because of the diary we are able to tackle time and many things all together. As we grow older, our diaries become our to-do-list which is not instructed by anyone but only by our own. When I entered into PGDM, I listen from my faculty that how important it is to write To-do-list and today when we are getting lot of tasks and assignment, I noticed that our mind is not the mind of Einstein. It takes me back to my school diary time and how our teacher write our homework on board and when we came back home, our parents took the charge to complete our homework. But time flies very fast and we have to move from a dependent child to an independent mature students who need to fulfil their responsibility on their own.
