    They saw opportunity in every situation and made best outof it!

    Each learning and failure is converted into milestone /

    stepping stone for what they wanted to achieve!

    They provided solutions for the problems they faced/found

    rather than cribbing about it!

    Last but not the least!

    They listened to their heart and they believed in

    themselves!
