REDEFINING ACHIEVEMENT

Today Robert has left his office early, for home since he received his promotion letter for the position of Sales Director in his company. As per the letter he is requested to resume his duty within next one week. It is an extremely emotional moment for him, a new dream, new challenge and altogether new role. He would like to celebrate this achievement with all his family members today

Robert comes from an extremely poor and most backward family. In his villages even today there are no electricity, no drinking water and no transport facilities. One will have to walk at least 7-8 kilometer to reach his village. Robert happens to be the first person to complete secondary and college education from his community. Right from his childhood, he has struggled a lot for survival due to the sheer poverty. Despite that he came forward, completed his primary education from his neighboring village and then came to the city for livelihood. During this period, despite earning his livelihood as an office boy in a small company, he also pursued his graduate degree in a part time college. After graduation, he applied for the position of Sales Executive in many companies but he failed to receive any positive response for a long period of time. It was during this period, he approached his current employer for a job. This company was about to start its operation at that point of time. However due to the sheer interest showed by Robert, company had decided to offer him a job on purely probation basis. Robert happened to be the lowest paid employee at that point of time. But he was satisfied enough. He was looking for a platform in order to demonstrate his capabilities and that he has received with this job in hand.
