Just the Beginning...

So the decision I took to quit my job was the right one; I always knew it deep inside, but unfortunately there had been no validation so far. Now, however, validation has come. It has come in the form of an assignment that is going to allow me to hold an entire course, and steer the path of its development almost single-handedly. It is also an assignment which is sending me abroad for two months (starting next month beginning), to work with an extremely difficult client first-hand. Now that’s opportunity to prove one’s mettle. It is also opportunity to fall flat on one’s face and prove one’s incompetence. It’s about how you choose to look at it, and I choose to look at the positive side of things.
It’s an opportunity, no doubt, but it comes with its own set of apprehensions….about going abroad and working in a different culture, about being all alone, about having to manage daily things that were never an issue at home, and about making sure that you perform adequately as well. Well, I guess I’ll never know unless I try, right? So I’m going to hop on to that plane, with all my fingers crossed, and faith in my heart.
Watch this space for the highs and lows….in short for updates :)
