Unsung Heroes | TEDxSIBMBengaluru
From the gleaming future envisioned by our 10-year
self to the future we dream of now, it has been an amazing journey. Among the
students of SIBM B, there are many who had dreamed big, who had withstood numerous
adversities and reached for the impossible. Here are a few of them, the
dreamers and the doers-
Which ten-year-old would've planned to start
a courier service just to support his family? `
Nirav Patel did. He belonged to a small town
called ”Sanand” in Gujarat, and he started a courier service along with his
brother when their family needed a source of income. With his presence of mind
and an exceptional self-motivation, he achieved something incredibly thoughtful
at the tender age of ten years.
Which aspiring singer would have had a will
strong enough to refuse commercializing their talent?
Sonal Bhalla, who has practiced music all her
life, has let go of many chances of winning at competitions. She is driven by
the words of her Guru who preaches that the intention behind learning music was
to experience music thoroughly, instead of commercializing it2. Her belief is
that “The words of Guru are final and that’s how I accepted it”.
Which great football player would think of
pursuing an MBA instead of their passion as a career, even after many great
accomplishments?
Valay Chahande, A talented football player who
was deserving enough to be picked up by Chetak FC and later moved to Division
A, had such groundbreaking passion and vigor, he could easily have established
a career in sports arena. Yet, he chose to do MBA instead, so as to explore the
unexplored.
How could someone who had the opportunity to
work with ISRO, publish a book be so self-possessed?
Tushar Vishwakarma, this guy has done it all,
from developing numerous android applications to having his book be sold in
Amazon by the time he was in the 10th standard. He has done things
his way, beyond anyone’s imagination, setting new goals and challenging himself,
raising the bar with each master stroke.
Each of these brilliant people had once
resolved to stand out from the crowd through their choice to remain true to
themselves, this made them what they are now: bright-eyed individuals eagerly looking
forward to shaping a better future! These great achievements had all begun with
the simple act of talking and expressing what they feel and think. You weave
the verse and see the impact, you'll watch it healing, you'll watch it
progressing and there comes a day when your actions change the world.
