An introduction

How can we define a person? Probably the biggest challenge for any thinking individual. For me, it is my work and my personal values. Today, I will share three different incidents of my life that will help you know my personal value and me a little better.

I was born 3 months earlier than I was supposed to. The family doctor predicted that I would not survive. But, I did. I did not walk till I was 2. My family was concerned that I would never walk. But, I did. Later, this story shaped my value that I will survive any situation, however grave that seems at that point. This helped me not to give excuses why I cannot do something.

In the year 2010, I went to visit my childhood teacher. After the visit, I was on my way to the train station. Halfway to the station, I saw something strange. An elderly lady was lying beside the road. I was curious. Her hands were cold and pulse was weak. So, I carried her to the nearby hospital. After 4-5 hours of struggle, she survived. The doctors found that somebody poisoned her. This incident impacted me a lot. Let me tell you, there is no greater feeling than saving a life. If we can understand how we impact a human being positively in whatever we do then the work becomes much easier and involving.

Third and last one incidence is this period that I am going through. I was a successful professional.  But I wanted to experience more. So I came to Canada for MBA and I was confident that finding a job would not be difficult. But, I was wrong.  So, what should I do? Blame everybody for my situation. Blame the stars...No, the learning is successes are rare incidences after long and persistent effort. I am finding out my weaknesses one by one and taking steps to fill the gaps.

So, wrapping up, I will define a person by her work and values and my personal values are not to give up, making a positive impact on peoples' lives is the most important factor of our jobs and keep myself developing irrespective of success or failure. I hope this will help the readers to understan me and relate to my future posts.
