FIRST ATTEMPT

During the lockdown, I decided to explore the unexplored side of me. COOKING. So after a few successful items, next came the custard. It was the first time custard was being prepared at my home as ‘kheer’ is the staple sweet dish in my family.

I followed the exact steps that were mentioned in the recipe on a website. But the result was disastrous. This is how it turned out.

FIRST ATTEMPT:

It became extremely thick. I did not take care of the lumps and viscosity while preparing it.

I felt bad. But there was nothing that I could do then. I decided to give it a second try!

This time, the outcome was amazing!

SECOND ATTEMPT:

This is just a small example of my success story of cooking custard.

WHAT IS THE SECRET OF SUCCESS THAT CAN CHANGE LIFE?

Being persistent and dedicated towards your goal is the only secret of success.

Sometimes you will get to taste the success in the first attempt, sometimes in the second, sometimes in the third and sometimes it takes uncountable times! What makes you finally achieve it is your consistent efforts.

The secret of success lies in learning from past mistakes and not repeating them. A fool is not the one who makes mistakes, it’s the one who makes the same mistake twice. Just keep analyzing your shortcomings and you will eventually reach the top. You just need to learn from your failures and do not lose hope and faith.

And if you still have doubts, just observe an ant when she is carrying a grain of size two times more than her own size. She will fall and stop many times but won’t give up and will finally reach her destination. That’s the spirit. If you have this spirit then no one can stop you from getting successful. :-)

If you want to change your life, just keep trying and do not give up! :-)
