Post 100: My Journey So Far
After passing 10th, I chose science stream because of peer pressure. But truth is, I never cleared it. For 4 years, I kept failing in science subjects. Finally, in the 8th attempt, I passed after switching to arts stream.
At the age of 22, I joined college for a degree in Arts. That time, I hid my real age from everyone. Some people guessed I was older, but I always denied it. Few got to know through mutual friends, I requested them to support me. Most of them stood by me.
In the final year of my degree, I failed again. I lost all hopes. Didn’t have the courage to study further. My parents asked me to reappear for the exams. I gave the papers without any preparation and somehow, I passed.
With a pass class degree in hand, I started looking for jobs. But no company selected me.
Then I thought of doing MBA abroad. But due to financial issues and low academic record, banks didn’t give me a student loan. That dream also ended there.
After that, I decided to start something of my own. I thought maybe luck will support me in business. I thought some miracle will happen. But nothing worked that way.
From the beginning of my career till now, it’s been 12 years. I’ve lost many battles. Failed 1000+ times. But still, I’ve never lost hope and I never will.
This is my journey till now. I’m moving forward with all the life experience I’ve got. I will shine. I will rise. I will grow. I will achieve my goals. Because this is real life. And failure is the real key to success.
Felt like sharing this with you all on my 100th post on GV. 🙏

More power to you brother, in the long run people like you will rise even from ashes. Learning about stories like this tells how sugar coated life on the internet is. I felt like I was behind at 25, with less than 1 year full time experience and laid off 2 months ago. But still in the fight and will fight until I win. More power to you
Thank you brother 🙏
Maybe academics is not just for you. There are so many other fields or skills in which a person can do well in life. If Virat Kohli had done engineering he would have been in a similar situation like yours. The important thing is to find out what you are good at? If you figure that out then you can pursue it and life can take a U turn. All the best!
Virat Kohli mere se 2 saal chota hai ....😀
Super bro.. All the Best with this never give up attitude you will surely reach out to new peaks as you were learning new life like lessons every time you fail. May god bless you with abundant energy and health
So is there an achievement to share or is it all hopes and dreams here?
Everyday I achieve something.
Hopes and dreams are keeping me to do.
Positive attitude really helps. But "muh-chodi" doesn't. I am really happy with your attitude and I resonate with what you feel, but really, as an internet friend, less muh-chodi and more work.
Stay consistent dear and do what makes you feel happy. Find your purpose .. life is also hard for overachievers in mysterious ways. Consistency is key and peace within yourself. Just keep your inner world happy..
The best thing out of all is that you 'never stopped trying' and that is what makes you so strong and undefeatable. My best wishes are with you; keep on trying you're definitely going to get what you deserve and, also efforts are something that matters the most.
Thanks for your lovely wishes and words.
Your journey is truly powerful. Despite all the challenges, you never gave up—and that’s what really matters. Life isn’t about how fast you succeed, but how strong you stay through failure. Keep moving forward. You will shine, rise, and grow—because real strength comes from real struggle
Thank you 😊
