Siddharth Thakur was an optimistic and open-minded student. but the people around him and his life's chaos always try to render him pessimistic. after 10th class, he wanted to opt science stream for further studies but he couldn't score good marks in the 10th class so he ended up choosing arts. similarly, after 12th class, he couldn't get his name in the merit list of any college. but eventually, he got admission in less ranked college. but he was not satisfied with this as he wanted to do something big. so he decided to drop his college in the final year. his friends, relatives always laughed at him by saying what will you do in the future. what do you want to become? useless fellow. somewhere in between, he was also affected but he never loses hope. and then his actual journey commences towards his dream to become a successful person. he started pursuing a diploma course in photography. as he had a keen interest in photography since childhood. he then started freelance photography without owning a studio. meanwhile, he started a company that was closed within six months. he later summed up his entire experience and bound all his knowledge in a book on marketing. He was just 22 then but the book was also not sold as per his expectations. but all his failures could not make him shattered, and then he created a record by knocking down a huge task of taking more than 10000 shots of 122 models in just 10 hours and 45 minutes and he launched a website and become a successful entrepreneur. besides this, he became a guide, mentor, a role model, and a youth icon for millions of people all over the world.
One of his old friends asked him ' how were you a few years ago and now look at yourself, how could you do it. He said that I just follow a mantra 'just think today is the first day of the rest of your life'. so don't let your failures dominate you. just think today is the first day of the rest of your life and then you can bring the change. what if you didn't get success, if not today then tomorrow you'll definitely get success. just follow your passion. do what you are passionate about and serve people the best of yourself so that they can appreciate your work. No one will come to make things easier for you. It's you, only you, who can bring the change in your life.
