A decade of my life!!

Just last month, i completed a decade of my employment with the present company to which i have been emotionally, mentally and truly attached. To think about it, ten years is quite a long long time and to stick with a company for more than ten years is an achievement of its own. There are a lot of people as credits for this milestone achievement and the blog here has just given me an opportunity to express it. After a hopping of around 3 companies in a span of 7 years, I got this opportunity to work for my present employer. With just a strength of three employees in India, including me, was an indication for me that there was a chance of Super growth if everything went well. So did it, executing  my job with dedication, found me on the ladders of success.From a senior engineer in Sales, i climbed up almost every alternate year and today i feel proud to handle a large team of more than 55 people under me. On top, the south east asian operations of our company has opened another vision for everyone in the company including me. If it was not under the leadership of my current boss, I wouldnt have completed my tasks successfully. He made sure the focus never went waywards and believed in me and on my capacity. In return, I ensured the goals were met and together we were able to see our dreams turning into reality. Today, the company is fast growing and so are we. Apart from this, a factor more personal is deeply involved to this success. I have always kept my father as an example. He is spending a retired life now. During his service days, he was extremely talented, less qualified, hard working but was never consistent. He worked for almost every kind of company, be it a chemical company, Inks manufacturing, Printing press, Paints, Construction, Electronics, Travel agency, you name it. In his days, he shuffled companies like hell and the fact remained that he was never successful as there was some or the other problem and he had to quit. From my childhood days, I had seen him struggle and whether you call it a risk or intelligence, I never thought of changing my job so far even when there were some good offers knocking at my door. Thanks to Dad :)

Some of them feel even now that Iam afraid to take risks so I havent yet changed. But I dont care, maybe Iam afraid that i might not succeed in other company or who knows i might get double the success... Anycase, I dont bother to explore these angles as I simply enjoy in what I do.

If a change has to happen, it will happen and would be very natural. For any change there is a lot that depends on circumstances. At the moment, under the present and future anticipations, I see myself retiring with the present company.... Who knows... Maybe or Maybe not...
