Hold On Pain Ends

Getting a good score in IELTS is easy. Getting your dream college is just the beginning. Life does not end there. Rather, it begins from there. Surely you know English but then studying abroad is not just about knowing the language. You might be in a completely different part of the world. People with ideas that do not match yours. Maybe their way of living is different. Yes, the experience is beautiful but no one said there aren’t any hardships.

The competition is tough. You have taken the first step towards your dreams and now you have to climb the entire ladder. The motive here is not to scare you. Not even to tell you that do not study abroad, because it is tough. The point is you have to work hard to get the fruit when you are off for the study abroad. There might be times when you would be fighting the clock. There may be sleepless nights. It could be possible that you have some harsh experiences. There might be times when you could see no hope, being positive will help you. Remember, you have to die to get the heaven.

In no means abroad study difficult. You will surely have fun doing it. New people, new ideas, new places. You will learn a lot about their culture. You may even tell them about yours. There will be friendships that last forever. It is all going to be there, the fun as well as the struggle.

So, be mentally prepared. Remember, life is not walking around beaches, it is climbing the ladder. It doesn’t matter how good climber you are, what makes the difference is whether you quit or hold on.

Respect Yourself

The hardest battle that you have is the one with yourself. When you are abroad, there may be chances that you find someone better than you. It could be in athletics or academics or their oration skills. It could be anything. There might be chances that you fail in some test or someone insults you. may be it is not what they intended to do, but it might hurt you. what to do next? Leave the place and come back home? Or feel sad about it and ruin the entire fun of study abroad.

Have a self esteem. Yes, this is something that can help you. you need to know yourself. You need to respect yourself. Of course there will be people better than you. why not? You are now standing in a global picture after all. People all across the world are there. but have you heard of the old adage,” Flowers never compete, they just blossom”. This is exactly what you need to do. Respect the person better than you, but respect yourself as well. try hard to improve, make yourself better, day by day.

Also, some people tend to confuse respect and listening orders as the same thing. But the fact is they are different. It might be the case that you gave some advice to some one and they did not followed it. Don’t take these things to heart. After all you never know them better. Similarly, you need not to take every advice seriously or follow it. People do give advice, you need to figure out if it works for you. After all no one knows you better than yourself.

Respect yourself, others and your decisions. Remember, all you need to be is sincere and listen to your heart, every thing else falls into place.
