The EXTRA mile

It has been said and said again and again. But to no avail, this god damn person seems deaf. Man you have enough guidelines, strategies, tips, inspiration, statements of the people who have been there and done that. Enough of it. Enough of Gyan!!

Believe me or not, even i can be a counseller for an MBA preparation, be it GMAT or CAT. Kab tak radio sunte rahoge?? Walk the Path now, what are you waiting for? If it requires to be a personality for getting into ISB, then do it now. Be what you always wanted to be. Till what time will you compromise and keep giving non-sensical excuses for not realising your dreams?

What it takes to be a winner in life, the extra pound of guts to cross the thin line between a hard-working-participant and a winner. Its always have been that extra mile that you never trudged, it always been that extra hour that you missed to put at the last moment....why the question always comes for that extra? Lets finish it this time. Do whatever it takes to grab that extra to reach the destination...to achieve what you always wanted. Why YOU, who has to stand in the crowd and clap for the winners? Why you stand there perspiring thinking in awe, that what this guy or gal is having in him/her that you lack?

The bottomline is that you are the owner of your own dream! If you cant arrange enough resources to make it happen. Then be damned! Dont crib afterwards. Its you and only you who is responsible for this. If you dont have enough to show off in your essays, then find out what can be achieved in next 4 months, which can help you stand out of the crowd. If you cant manage that then get a score of 750+, so that people wouldnt ask much of our extra-s. Its up to you HOW YOU MAKE THAT HAPPEN!!

So now, forget about the damn job of coding you have been doing for last 3 yrs and will keep on doing if dont get it right this time. Get that EXTRA into your life. THAT EXTRA that will help you stand on the podium wearing that gold medal or that EXTRA that will help you discuss your success story rather than the midnight oil you burnt only to find that this way doesnt work...get that EXTRA which will help you throw that black hat into the sky when graduating out of the most hallowed B-school in India.

Dont be a commodity....be a brand. Find ways to create a brand of yours!! Its time now you become a person driven with a killer instinct OR forget it for this lifetime!!
