The time had come to start my journey. I leaned out of the window, waving as long as I could while she disappeared into the distance.

That was my journey for 2nd year to Engineering. I wasn't doing my best in studies...
I have completed Engineering anyhow after too many attempts. May be my introvert nature was playing against me.

But my mother told me to keep faith. I kept me busy in sales, marketing andcustomer support jobs, non of which was my forte.

She adviced me to speak with friends; so that I may get reference for any job.
It also worked. Though my nature didn't changed at all for many years; my career started through references.

Sometimes our negative factors also work for you; if we try our best for whatever work we are doing. And then those lacking skills anyhow become our strong holds over the period.

As I said, I have started my career in sales, customer support and marketing and now it helped me again in sales and customer support during these testing times.

When during my childhood, I wan't too good in my mother tongue language, Marathi; the one correction of a word by my mother helped me to excel in Marathi.
That single word inspired me.

Sometimes we get inspiration from our own mistakes and lack of skills...

So keep faith in our own will power and always respect and keep faith in our mother, father or guardians.
I can go on writing about parents pages over pages...
But I have to stop here.

Happy Mother's day!
