“The dream is not what you see in the sleep, the dream is the thing that does not let you sleep”. I dream of working at a great position at Deloitte, one of the Big Four Companies. I believe that to convert a dream into a reality you need to take small steps to reach to the pinnacle of success. I have dreamt many a time and have tried to achieve those goals or the so-called dreams during my lifetime. It is the story full of enthusiasm and is setting an example that Even a Student without a tuition can set a record that Tuition is not always necessary and student can also set records even with studying in the school. That’s me, Kartik! Let me share the experience of my journey of class 10th. My mother had asked me that I have the golden opportunity to score 10 CGPA in class 10 without taking tuition and I will set an example among my batchmates that tuition is not necessarily required for the student to succeed in the examination. I abide by her suggestion and made that my dream. I did thought of a dream where I was getting a certificate of 10 CGPA from my teachers and making my parents and teachers proud and I decided that I would make that dream come true and make my mother’s wish true. So I set up a plan that to get the desired result. I decided to take small steps daily and try to work in such a way to achieve the goal with surety. Then I didn’t look back, I completed all the tasks and the work given to me during the classes, attended all the classes, did the revision, created notes, evaluated myself in different mocks, and gave my hundred percent. In the last, during the boards with positive energy and enthusiasm, I attended the paper and that was not a surprise, I fulfilled the dream of my mother and myself and scored 10 CGPA in the Board. The day when the results were announced, I was mesmerized and that was the best day of my life because I thought of this day and achieved success. Thereafter I realized that if you decide to do something and give your 100% with dedication and honesty, you can achieve whatever you want in life. I remember the happy tears in my mother’s Eyes and she was so happy for me that I fulfilled her dream and made her and my father proud. I received the scholarship from the school and the photo was published in the newspaper which boosted my morale toward achieving success. This was just one example of how I worked towards a dream and fulfilled that. Similarly, now I dream of upskilling myself to such a great extent that I will go to Deloitte and work at a very respectable position in the company and take the company to great heights with my efforts and the dedication that I am going to put in joining the company. Now since I have dreamt of it, I have decided to identify the learning gaps and those gaps were none other than improving the soft skills. Also, to identify the skill set that is required, Chat GPT helped me immensely to find out the gaps that need to be filled. Some of the learning apps which I feel that I need to upskill are public speaking skills, good communication skills, and majorly convincing skills which is one of the most important skills required. Not to mention, apart from soft skills I feel that health is something that cannot be ignored at all and health can take me to such a great extent that my productivity can reach at highest level if I am fit and healthy and that is one of the other task that I will accomplish in this coming days so that I am ready to take any kind of responsibility that is needed to be fulfilled at my end. Since I have identified the skill set that I need to improve, So I have created my own To-do list that I shall fulfill in the coming days so that I can achieve the skills that are required to fulfill that learning gap. The first and foremost thing that I am going to improve myself is to remove the word Procrastination from my dictionary because it is the biggest hurdle in the success journey. I will not procrastinate the activities or the tasks that I am going to achieve in the future. My to-do list will begin with a Healthy lifestyle with a good morning walk and a yoga session that will rejuvenate my body and will make me super active throughout the day to achieve and to improve the skill set that I designated to achieve. To begin with, I believe that I need to fulfill all the to-do list tasks that I had created for me to be done and also after the completion of all the daily tasks of my to-do list I will reward myself. Even a small reward because it is said that reward gives you motivation for what you are doing and I truly believe it. I firmly believe that self-introspection is extremely important if I want to achieve something, so I need to introspect myself from time to time so that I can understand where I am lacking and how I can improve and make me ready to take myself to the desired position. The activities of my to-do list shall definitely help me to achieve my dream and to take it to the next level possible. Not only that, I shall make my parents proud like I have done many times before during my lifetime journey.I am looking forward to see that small improvement every day and I shall track it on a daily basis to see the increase in my productivity level as well as in the skill enhancement of my personality and overall development.
