Developing your career and growing yourself
PARISMITA GOSWAMI
We live in a very competitive world compared to a decade ago. However, the pursuit of success and fulfillment is a common goal. Everyone is constantly seeking ways to enhance their personal and professional lives.
Recently, I watched “12th Fail,” which left me questioning myself even though it inspired me ten times more. The movie has been an exceptional inspiration that resonates deeply with audiences, portraying the journey of an IPS officer and his wife (IRS) who defy societal expectations and setbacks even after failing the 12th grade.
One undeniable truth is that self-growth and career development are intricately linked, influencing each other in ways that can profoundly shape the trajectory of one’s life.
And the movie is about that.
