We all enjoy the good days. The ones where it all runs smoothly—clients are cooperative, orders execute without a glitch, life is in harmony. Those days are simple to hold up.

But the bad days? They are the ones that school us.

When I opened my home bakery in Lucknow, I had one of those days. The cake fell. One of my deliveries was late. I wanted to quit. At the moment, it was failure. It was huge, it was messy, it was overwhelming failure.

It wasn't failure now when I think back. It was one of the biggest lessons I have learned.

Tough days make you stop. To reconsider. To grow. They compel you to discover inner strength you never knew existed. They show you resilience, mistake by mistake. And although they hurt at the time, they impart knowledge smooth, easy days never could.

Now, whenever a challenge pops up—whether in my business or in life—I remind myself: this is just another lesson in disguise. One day, I’ll be grateful for it.
