Abstract

As we move along in our life or in our career, we face challenges, which are natural. When we come across such challenges, there are two ways of treating them, either from a perspective of helplessness or from a standpoint of one’s own belief. But when we choose the latter, we are consciously optimistic and these challenges open up a vista of opportunities. Once we accept a challenge, no doubt we step into the world of the unknown and it has a potential to change us forever.
