Don't choose what you get....

My first step in B-School...
Expectations following me behind.. Hopes making my shoulder heavy...
And there comes the time when during the induction phase u are told to choose what u get... ur dreams crash... ur expectations tend to give up...
This is the time u need to believe in urself... wait for the right opportunity and most importantly not give up on urself...
But i guess its easier said and done..
The same example goes for me too... many companies came on campus for summers... but none where i really wanted to work so there begun the wait....
January passed..... and so did February, March and half of April... 10-12 days to go before u officially start ur summers and there im still waiting for the right company where ill get to enjoy my work rather than just choose what u get and start compromising rather than working.
But as being a normal human being even i lost all the hopes and started applying for any and every company which came on campus for summer internships...
Letting my frustration out on every one around ignoring every1 around was certainly not helping my cause but was just adding more to my frustration...
Social networking sites being used as a new format where u can actually put ur heart out was used by me to the highest extent to let my frustration out.. when one day a senior read upon my comments and asked me to forward my resume to him.. And again ignoring him thinking that he is just trying to add salt to injury never responded to him though he being a very good friend.
Just to my fortune he remembered that i always wanted to work with X company and called me up and said "Dude i have given a reference of ur in the x company just give a call and take an appointment for an interview... all i can do here is get you to the doorstep of ur dream company, after u enter the door u will be on ur own"...
An opportunity coming knocking at the door there was no chance i would let it go..
Cracked the interview got the summer internship... And only one thing kept knocking my head while i was climbing down the stairs...
That the only thing i was doing by applying randomly to any company was playing with my interest, and nothing but spoiling my career...
The only thing i told myself that day... IF U DESERVE IT, U SHALL GET IT...
and from now on... ill never choose what i get... ill strive for what i want... Never give up so easily and fight till the last moment... And never ever will i give up on my Dreams...!!!
