IT ALWAYS SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE UNTIL IT'S DONE

I had a wonderful morning. I simply grabbed my usual cup of coffee and walked upstairs for a little walk. Ever since we were children, everyone has stared at airplanes whenever we heard whir. You know what. I informed my parents about my desire to become a pilot when I was in the ninth grade. My ultimate focus in becoming a pilot was to have to fly a vehicle that no one else can operate. But my family circumstance was not given that much freedom to choose pilot as my career. For me, it was like a fairy tale riding inside the clouds and watching the sunrise and sunset in the nearest. But now coming to reality. Not only me but so many others also had the same desire.


In recent days I came to know about one such woman and she is an Indian. Yep, she has also faced the same problem of convincing her parents by choosing her career as a pilot. A living example of achieving a dream by crossing all the obstacles along the way.


She is "KANIKA TEKRIWAL" a Young Entrepreneur from India.





She is not a pilot though. She belongs to an orthodox family. She was not allowed to take her career as a pilot. But Kanika didn't give up. Since she was a kid she wanted to be a pilot, but it's difficult for women to turn their passion into their career. Her family, friends and the community said "NO”. Her family said to start a cupcake shop instead of becoming a pilot. Think how it could be for a person full of her dreams to crash in a moment. But she didn't stop.


She said to herself. "If I can't fly the plane I'm going to own the plane then". So she started a private jet company called "JETSETGO" in the year 2012 at the age of 22. She started an uber service for the skies. A lot of people said that's not going to work. But she persisted and here she is now owning 10-chartered planes and helicopters. She used innovative technologies to make the process easier for customers. And now 72% of private jets in India are managed by her.


This shows, that nothing can stop you if you think it's possible!!!
