Ignorance & Confidence

Thought Thought (Day 43: 12-Aug-2013)

Can take you places. 

There was once this dude from a village, who studied hard, scored well and finished his master’s in from a not-so-prominent business school. After multiple rejections from different firms, he made a life changing decision to his attitude and within no time was recruited as an entry level executive with a sales firm.

Though he was the only one among his peers to be not from a top business school, there were always people wanting to listen to him. He had what others lacked. He trained himself to be a very confident guy. In his zeal to win, he ignored all trivialities surrounding his profession. His ignorance over things that could pull him down helped him pull himself up quicker.

His confidence in pitching and presentations won him accolades from the management as well as the clients. The confidence that poured out of him impressed the clients that they trusted the organization as whole; which it in turn brought in lot of business to the firm. He kept climbing the corporate latter faster than was expected. He did not hold the growth to himself; he helped his co-workers realise the magic of confidence and they all grew up together.
