If I want to startup my venture and I worked for a successful startup but later gave off the job and joined an established company to see how that works plus I had interest in the work which this established company does, so how to explain this to the panel. I mean I want to startup but I gave a startup job too in the past because of certain reasons.

For the question what has inspired you or significant change in your life? Is it ok to say that when for the first time I scored 90+ percent in 3rd std. I loved the feeling and saw my parent's proud face and since then I have tried to put my 100% in everything I do.
