This day has come and gone every year without my noticing it. This year I stopped to notice and remember...
21 years ago, on the 1st of February 1986, I walked into the factory gates of J.K. Synthetics starry eyed with a very clear vision ...to be a CEO of my own company in 5 years. Obviously a target not met. One can philosophize and maybe mean it too ...to an extent, that the journey was richer than any destination.
I thought today of what I have achieved so far and what I have not. I have worked with passion at most of my jobs , maybe putting my heart over my head. I have not taken too many risks and jumped too many jobs.I have walked into doors that opened for me, but have not spent too much time knocking on them, I have made some good friends along the way and possibly also because of my extreme candidness, left some thinking not so kindly about me.
In retrospect, I also think I have spent maybe too much time on some dead end jobs especially at the beginning of my career. I strolled when I should have galloped. But also in retrospect, I have lived my life when I strolled. There are many things I would like to change about the way I lived my life but many more I would live all over again
I wanted to share this day with you, some of the most important people I have met in the last 21 years and thank you for your contribution in my career life.
Life has just begun, all over again!
