The idea behind making world records

Moving to a new country is an adventure in itself. The fact is very well known that when you migrate to a new country, you will be smashed with new situations and problems every day that may seem intimidating and scary at first, but are always the best ways to grow as an individual. Vityala also faced these issues when he was living abroad. He even had some of the worst experiences in university and with people during his stay in Kyrgyzstan.

 Even after all this he didn’t panic and was determined to isolate himself from the toxicity breathing around him and started pondering to channelize his energy into something hardworking and fruitful. Here he took the first step heading the path of writing history with his enthusiasm and hard work. With a thrust to do something never done before, the idea of making the world record popped up in his mind, he decided to complete 51 courses in 9 days only!

The cluster of courses included online, offline and university courses from Harvard University, University of Turkey are few of them. Considering the different fields of study and interest, the training programs based on technical skills, Personal enrichment, core qualifications also made their place in the list of courses pursued in a short period.  

Challenges

“Challenging oneself is the only path which leads to growth”. Vityala firmly believed that overcoming challenges and aiming a target and then accomplishing it is the best possible manner to get transformed into the best version of yourself. When he was in his teens he had the desire of holding a world record in his name. 

When he decided to complete around 50-100 courses, he couldn’t attend his college classes as he was totally into the voyage of turning his dream into reality. Therefore, he used the credit points of his courses to sail through the academics and get the marks at that time. Even though he had obstacles to stop him, he managed everything to achieve his goal.
