The Only Option!

We are going to face setbacks and challenges in life. But it is up to us as to whether we want to suffer or keep moving forward.

Working in a global bank was a dream for me. When I got an opportunity unexpectedly, it was a boon. In addition, I got a handsome salary, the opportunity to work in a worldclass facility and multi-fold growth in my role and exposure as compared to my current job. I was truly delighted to take on the job offer to join.

Innately I have been sincere at my work. I decided to give my best to prove myself in the new environment. Of course, I had to compete with equally good or even better people. This was challenging enough to propel me to work hard. I would have spent more than 12 hours a day at work. This never bothered me at all as I was enjoying my work and, more importantly, I wanted to prove that I could do a good job even in a highly competitive environment.

As time passed, I started realizing that the bigger the role, bigger the responsibilities and the associated challenges were big enough. Within a year of joining the bank, I got transferred to another city. This was a welcome move for me as it was my second year of marriage and I was very excited to take my wife to a new city to live.
