This CA failed 10 times in his CA exams but did not let failure define him rather enjoyed his journey

• Hi, I am Harshvardhan Jain, a Chartered Accountant from India.
• I decided to pursue CA right after class 12, all was smooth – until I hit rock bottom in CA Final and took 10 attempts to clear.
• I am not glorifying CA or failures nor trying to convince you not to give up. The reason I am sharing my story is to tell you ‘how I survived the challenges life threw at me and how taking complete responsibility for my situation helped me deal with this.’
• Today, in spite of my multiple attempts I am doing well in life, all because of two things: a positive mental attitude and learning to enjoy not only my successes but also my failures.
• Here is my story.

Deciding to pursue CA

In spite of being a bright kid in school, I was clueless as to what I would want to do next.

After a good score in 10^th grade, I opted for the commerce stream and luckily got admission to one of the most prestigious colleges in Mumbai – Narsee Monjee College. It was at this college that I made up my mind to pursue CA!
