“It is better to be prepared for an opportunity and not have one than to have an opportunity and not be prepared.”
- Whitney M. Young, Jr.
Yesterday, I spoke to a veteran in Automobile Industry, in Detroit, Michigan. Initially a few seconds pitch, if the person is interested, then the conversation is scaled up to few mins. Very rarely one might receive an opportunity to engage a person / people on the Phone, for close to 20 mins, when the other person might have budgeted only a few mins max, during what is technically called as "Elevator Pitch".
In whatever professional role I have been discharging, I have never (yes never) missed an opportunity to foresee the futuristic opportunities, despite insurmountable obstacles. Only with that approach, I envisioned to earn my Masters degree in Computer Tech / Applications with only a sum of Rs.50 INR left in my hand (much less than $1 )during 2000-2001 Academic Year. Similarly, my Black Belt Six Sigma Programme with absolutely no idea of how I would bear close to Rs.50,000 in fees. I guess my journey must be an interesting read for all others. But such incidents are reserved to be shared later.
Guess what?? I do not believe in being accepted by others as a Great-Guy; but I believe in leading a life that is in accordance with my God-given potentials.

Cutting to the chase, go get ready, and grab all opportunities. Oops, I almost forgot to tell you that all opportunities will be disguised in the form of challenges, controversies, adversities. I will prove so, in my upcoming blog posts. Happy Reading!!!
