movements for survival try to make it up to the show again this is natural fighting spirit inside us and the good news is that we all have it so today I'm going to share with you a journey of a girl who always seemed to be on The Winning Side from childhood through school then to college but then there comes a time in her life which shook her confidence and which shook her confidence to the Core

dancing moves in katak she was always at the Forefront holding the flag of Victory and raising it high her confidence soed high as she navigated from childhood to school and then again to college she was was fueled by the belief that Victory is her Birthright a happy gol lucky girl however life has some uncertain ways of throwing surprises and this girl was about to face biggest Cheng yet after completing her College days when she stepped into the real world she faced rejections after rejections the doors which were once White open for her now seemed shut this girl for the first time tasted the bitterness of failure and disappointments and she don't know how to deal with it now she found a new comfort zone and it was not a good one depression anger fear frustration anxiety they all became her friends it was a harsh reality a departure from constant world of triumphs she had known she belonged to a privileged family where her family could build for her anything she would ask for but she decided to build things on her own she wanted to make the path of her own then she started grabbing every little opportunities and put her heart in it she gave her best efforts too she worked from working in hotels to Banks and then from uh event management company till being then being an HR professional and despite of giving too many efforts she just faced rejections rejections and rejections everywhere it was disappointments blames and complaints there was a in a stint of hotel her work was being an HR professional but she was forced to do the work of hospitality this girl pushed herself that okay maybe this will be the learning process for her let's go ahead and learn something new this girl also took burden of unloading the baggages from customer's car and despite giving her best efforts she again faced rejections disappointments and blames she would go home with rejections and voices echoing in her mind that she cannot do anything she is worthless she is good for nothing every day with every setback her morale shattered but this girl every time she used to wake up with bit bit of hopes and small dreams again and she refused to be defeated it was her inner voice that no I cannot be defeated then she realized that mightbe she is giving efforts in wrong directions again she was questioning herself so much in the depths of Despair she was grappled with doubts and despair that how can someone be at the losing end she was in constant crisis and dilemas of identity and purpose threatening to overshadow everything she had ever achieved but one day she remembered a voice from her childhood and it was a voice of her mother her mother saying that Isha you are a fighter just like in Judo you used to beat the hell out of the opponent and emerge as a winner make sure when you grow up and become a big girl you do the same face the world with never give give up attitude now these words kept playing in her mind and she got a Lifeline now now she did what she used to do in her MBA days she made a SWAT analysis of her own life and on strength she found the never giving up at attitude the fighting Spirit attitude and skills until the bell rang she
