30. The most important lesson I learnt, at the risk of sounding clichéd, is that nothing is impossible . But really, there are a whole lot of things, seemingly impossible, that one can do. Like jumping off a 25-ft high cliff when you don’t have a head for heights or a parachute - Can be done. Have your own start-up while you are still recovering from teenage and getting accustomed to the rude shock adulthood is – Totally possible. I met people my age who have already accomplished so much that I half expected them to be extra terrestrial beings. These people were so much like me. It was eerie and motivating. It sure did leave me all windswept and interesting. I developed a whole new perspective towards myself and life . I do realize that there is an untapped potential hibernating in each one of us. It is up to us to rouse it to consciousness and achieve a lot of what we dream about. ZOYA
