Normally I make a decision according to the situation. I make a decision while shopping, studying and so on. I have made some decision in my past life and I got a good result but here I would like to talk about an important decision I made when I was studying in a school. I was 15 years old and I studied in a standstander. At that time I spent a lot of time playing video games and watching movies. That’s why I didn’t focus on my study and my academic performance was declining. I vividly remember that my exam was in a year and I decided to score 90 in the board exam to give my parents a surprise. It was very essential because if I got a good score I could select the best engineering field for my career. I knew it was very difficult for me but I made my mind and never stepped back until I achieved success. Hence I avoided using all my gadgets. I started meditation and yoga. As a result I started concentrating on my education and I planned my schedule for preparation. Before the exam I did my entire syllabus and revised it twice. When my result was announced I had achieved 92% in that exam. I felt over the moon and my parents were surprised. They were also proud of my achievement. So that was a decision I never forgot in my life. Because after the decision my life totally changed in a good way.
