Connecting my Past to my Future!

If you guys have read my previous post, ‘who am I’, you know how much of a sports geek I am. I could never sit in one place and try to do menial tasks. I was never good at math, and I hated numbers. Although that did not mean that I was lacking in the logical aspects. Thanks to sports I was good at decision-making and leading people. I always wanted to pursue something which would provide me with satisfaction. I never believed that money is something that you need to be happy. Although it is a necessary unit to have to be truly happy from within, I feel you need to love what you do and do what you love.

That is exactly what I wanted to do that is why I chose the perfect marriage of 2 things that I loved – sports and science- as my graduation course. I feel money comes to those who are good at their work. Money is not that important as compared to personal satisfaction and happiness.

My sports background gives me the confidence to lead and take risky and important decisions whereas my experience with science bolsters my logical and observational skills. I feel I would excel in a management position. I love to interact with people. I am a task and people-oriented person. I could have gone for a coaching or teaching position after my graduation, but I personally do not want a mundane job where you must do repeated tasks and nothing new happens. That I why I chose to do an MBA because I know that being a manager comes with a lot of responsibilities, but it is an adventurous job as you are always on the lookout for industrial changes, you need to be vigilant and always on your toes. Ready to face any kind of hurdles and challenges that might come your way. Always resistant, persevering, and tactical.

I am looking forward to the thrilling but treacherous journey that awaits me as a manager. Although the industry is always volatile, there are phases where you can find a place for yourself and then make your own name in the industry. Personally, speaking I would not enjoy my job if it was not challenging enough, and the risk and rewards were not high. It will test my metal and see how resilient and adaptable I am.
