“What is a guy like you, with a B.Tech degree doing in retail?”
In life we are all looking for something, that thing that
will make us feel complete. This thing for some people is marriage, or some its
money and happiness or success and Education. While we are looking for these
element to make our lives feel complete we face hardships, then we tend to
forget where we are going.
The question shattered me,
even though it was received through a phone call. I will not lie to you, I was
not only hit by the brick of truth, I was baptised with the showers of reality.
I felt like someone slid a block of ice in my shirt and it went sliding down my
spine slowly as I listened to the sound of his breath on the other side of the
line. I could not even defend myself; I was guilty of not having a dream, of
not having the passion to move up, of not being me, the guy who was always at
the top. I was sentenced by a caller. “You need to stand up and give it you
150%, somewhere out there, your dream is waiting for you” That second statement
sealed it. I had to get out of the
comfort zone and start pushing and knocking at doors until an answer is given.
Even though I was alone in
that room, I felt so exposed and guilty. I had to do something, I had to dream
again, I had to wake up the old me, and that was how I got revived. I am now
alive, and I will never lose focus…
