The speaker describes how their life two years ago was difficult, with problems at work, school, and home. They took a LLP course which changed their perspective, helping them see opportunities in problems and approach everything with confidence, enthusiasm, and commitment. This positive attitude helped them find happiness from within rather than relying on external factors. Over the past two years with Chrysalis, the speaker has had professional successes, contributed to their community, developed strong friendships, and gained valuable life experiences.

1. Exactly two years ago, at a similar colorful evening in Ambedkar Bhavan, sitting somewhere in a
corner watching some powerful speakers delivering amazing speeches and an audience celebrating like
never seen before. On that day I decided I was going to be a part of this tribe and my journey with
Chrysalis began and here I am speaking in front of you wonderful people.
My life 2 years ago was nothing short of a nightmare. I was without a job, I was having number of
problems in college as well as at home and I was not doing what I wanted to do.
Then I did the LLP course and my way of looking at these problems changed. I decided to look for
an opportunity in every problem I faced. In last 2 years every activity I do reflects my confidence,
enthusiasm and commitment –to give more than 100%.
Earlier whenever things would go wrong my diologue would be “Sala apna to Bad Luck hi kharab
hai”. But now due to my positive attitude I try to look for something good even when things go wrong.
Earlier I used to search for happiness and I could count the number of days when I was happy on
my finger tips. But during the course I realized that happiness is not an outside-in, but an inside-out
phenomenon. Now I can work for any number of hours and still enjoy my work. I have learnt to balance
my personal and professional life. My physical and mental fitness has improved considerably in last two
years.
I have understood my responsibility towards the society and I contributed as much as I could
towards the Paraplegic Event and the Sassoon Hospital child orphanage.
My 2 years association with Chrysalis has been filled with loads of success. And this success has
come because of CCD- not Café Coffee Day but Confidence, Commitment and Dedication. In my final
year I was appointed the secretary of the annual college magazine and I worked successfully to print a
wonderful magazine. My final year project won awards and accolades. I got a job with HSBC Software and
within just 8 months of my job, my managers realized my potential and sent me to work onsite on an
important assignment to the USA for a period of 3 months. This was both a big achievement and a big
challenge for me, especially since this was the first time I was going to be away form my family.
Nevertheless I took up the challenge and worked hard to win the confidence of people there and I was
extremely successful in doing so.
Last 2 years are the most happening years of my life. I have got wonderful memories of the Happy
Minds, speeches, picnics, outbound programs, parties, graduation ceremonies and so many things. I have
found some very good friends who I know would be staying with me till the end of my life.
