Life has made me stronger and bolder.
Often, I used to get tensed for the smallest of things.. I still do.
There is a difference b/w being confident and claiming to be confident... which becomes apparent by the turmoil that goes on in ur mind, just a few seconds b4 ur scheduled interview..
Earlier, I used to try to calm myself by deep breathing and maybe distracting my mind and thinking of some good, positive memories..
Recently, while I was waiting in the lobby for an interview.. I became tensed.
Its been quite a while since I had been to an office, with the familiar chilled air, so much in contrast to the outside burning sun..
The white gleaming tiles that reflect the light..
The security guards with the polite smiles..
Its been quite sometime.
I began to feel the tightening claws of my old friend Tension.
Then, I took a deep breath and reminded myself that I am a survivor..
I have faced worse things in life than just an interview that went wrong.. and I have survived it all..
I knew that at the worse, if the interview that I was about to attend, went wrong.. it wont finish me.
Nothing can finish me, as long as I intend to learn from it...
Whatever negative experiences I go through, even negative interviews.. could only benefit me, if I am determined to learn from it and make sure that I dont repeat the same mistakes.
At the end, it is only stagnation of mind and spirit that can destroy an individual.
And yes, I did calm down and I did get through. All thanks to God.
