Ram's Success Principle #1: The Power Within: Making the Impossible Possible

From the time I completed my pre-University education during 1980, now it is called as Higher Secondary education (in India). I was thrilled to join the College and pursue my Under Graduation.
Since my father was a village accountant, most of the people in the college knew him, including the principal.?So, he asked me to go to the college and get the admission done by referring to his name.
I promptly filled in the application form and kept it in my hand and was travelling to college by bus to reach there which was 10 kilometers away from my village.?During my journey on the bus, I happened to meet a middle-aged person who was sitting next to me and started a conversation after seeing the admission form in my hand.
He said that now a days students seeking admission in college do not prefer to take mathematics as their major subject as they all want to choose arts subjects, that are too easy ones, to pass and obtain a degree certificate.?He suggested that I should take B.Sc., instead of B.A.
By the time our destination arrived, we both alighted off the bus. The co passenger’s words kept ringing in my ears as I clearly wrote the option as B.A. History in the application.

After waiting for some time outside the principal’s office I was called to meet him.??Just before entering his office, I stuck B.A. History and wrote B.Sc. Mathematics in the application. I did well in my studies and passed out B.Sc., in First Class.
I didn’t even know who this co-passenger was, however, his words taught me a life lesson “We all have powers to make impossible to be possible.” This is my personal tagline as well.?This has been helping me since 1980. My sincere gratitude to this Co-passenger.?
