LIFE IS LIKE A GAME OF TENNIS, THE PLAYER WHO SERVES WELL SELDOM LOSES.


Your life is the result of the choices you make. Same  is the case with me. On 14 july, 2000  I was one of those many new borns crying in the nursery in some hospital on this planet. Here also my parents' lives thereafter were the result of the choice they made, to have me.  So let me start my chronicle...
My parents got divorced when i could barely walk around. And today, as a 14 year old girl, i really think that my life should have ended at that very moment. What is a toddler supposed to do when her parents are separated, and she is hung in the middle of mom and dad, choosing in whose ministration to go within. At that point of time, does a child have to act JUVENILE  and choose her dad just because he fills her breadbasket with lollies and gobstoppers or act LEVEL HEADED and choose her mom. So, these people asked me to choose one among my parents, who were both too abashed at that point of time to look into each other. Again, I had to make a choice and without acting semi mature, I, a three year old toddler chose my mom. Both of us had to move out of our lavish apartment in Woodruff street to a small colony here in India.
Since the last 11 years of living here in India, the greatest challenge that I face and most of the teenagers face is achieving SUCCESS. Today, I would like to give all teenagers the crux of achieving success. ALWAYS DO WHAT YOU LOVE TO DO AND LEARN TO EMBRACE YOUR WORK AND ITS CHARTER. IF YOU DO NOT FIND SOMETHING WHICH INTERESTS YOU, KEEP LOOKING FOR IT, DO NOT SETTLE. I would like to summarize my struggle for success by these words.  Sleep will never be worthy of the dreams we dare to touch. Dare to dream. Success isn’t a result of spontaneous combustion. You must set yourself on fire. Sometimes, life puts you in a state where you can do nothing but feel distressed, uncontented and depressed. Your ability to analyse, think, solve problems , even the most miniscule ones, suddenly dissipates and you really feel like a nonentity.
If you bring love to that moment - not discouragement - you will find the strength is there. Any disaster that you can survive is an improvement in your character, your stature, and your life. What a priviledge! This is when the spontaneity of your own nature will have a chance to flow. Then, when looking back at your life, you will see that the moments which seemed to be great failures followed by wreckage were the incidents that shaped the life you have now. You'll see that this is really true.Nothing can happen to you that is not positive. Even though it looks and feels at the moment like a negative crisis, it is not.
You cannot connect the dots looking forward. You can only connect them looking backward. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something. Destiny, God ,life ,whatever, because believing that the dots would connect, would give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the path, and that would make all the difference. Your time is limited, so do not waste it living someone else's life. Don't be a person who is living his life as a result of other people's thinking. Don't let the voice of others opinions make your own innervoice drown. These are Steve Jobs' words, and these are the words which give me the obstinacy and perseverance to keep moving forward, no matter how many times i collapse and these words give me the strength and competence to do the same thing over and over again till i succeed in it. 
My life till now has been terrible, taking in consideration what I have gone through, and I, really, really thank God for this life. Life really is a terrible thing, full of ups and downs, success and failure, love and hatred, but still LIFE IS ALLURING AND WORTHY TO BE GIVEN EVERY PERSON'S BEST SHOT.
