Vision, Courage and Tenacity
I wonder what a decent man like me is doing at this time of the night on his computer. Maybe I just felt like move on to the next stage without the baggage that that should be dropped on this current level that I am.
I have always have a vision of being one of the most priviledged people in whatsoever society I find myself. This is surely not more than what people will term day-dreaming. Believing I can shoot for the star in another galaxy, I decided to start by shooting for the stars in my current galaxy. Two months I tried my shots and could see myself improving with each shot get me closer to accuracy before I finally hit one of the main target in the constellation.
I have decided to work in Front office part of investment banking organisation but have had my own share of failure. I could remember one of the most painful interview I had in with one of the companies that tickle my fancy. After performing and enjoying the interview, the company came back to me through my agent with this word
"We are really impressed with your performance. You have a character that suggests that you will be able to work well with the traders. But, we noticed some knowledge gap and will therefore not be taking this further with you. We wish you best of success in your future endeavour. "
This brought a downtime to my life and couldn't help but to doubt my ability. But for some of my friends that believe in me and encouraged me to focus my energy on the goal and move on, I will have settled for less. With there encouragement, I courageously move towards my goal and at the time I didn't expected it, I got my accuracy right.
At the time I was carrying out the pursuit of my goal, many of the people that heard of the target I set for myself were assuming that this is a very tall order that might be out of my reach. I remembered having to argue with one of the recruitment consultant on the price I placed on myself, he was like you are overpricing yourself. Now that I have cross another hurdle, I'll encourage another visionary out there with these words:
NO MATTER HOW LOFTY YOUR VISION IS, IF YOU HAVE THE COURAGE TO PURSUE IT, AND YOU TENACIOUSLY FOLLOW IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT , THE CHANCE WILL FAVOUR YOU(COS YOU ARE PREPARED)
