So, I am here at Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar mugging up concepts of Elasticities of Demand on this 17th day at this institute. Basically, very few study and even fewer study hard and I am certainly not one of them...but I am helpless..!! Tomorrow's the Economics Quiz naa...thats why...
We are being told here that in this Banking and Financial Services industry, a fresher has the highest probability of getting a sales job, typically that of a Sales Manager or Relationship Manager or something like that. Now, that's the job which I dread the most yaar !! I anticipate doing anything but not sales !! Oh no !! save me from it !! Isn't there any job out there which doesn't deal with targets ?? Is there any ?? I ask this question often to Industry persons and they say "yes". But they also add that people grow very fast when in Sales and the least in Operations... So what to do, what not to do?
Yes, in this World, Introverts are respected due to their creative abilities, but are never well paid...And what's the use of creative if "Money Money Money !! Brighter that Sunshine, Sweeter than Honey !! " doesn't come to your pocket ? No use at all !! So, we have to " Sell Ourselves ". We have to sell or we will perish !!
At present it looks like a very impossible task for me, this choosing of Sales profession...but who knows...there might be a miracle !! When I was a kid, I used to say "Anything, but not Sports !!" and when I grew up, now, Football has turned out to be my Life !! When I was at 12th standard, I said, I will study anything but never Business !! I can simply not do that !! But I did my graduation in Business Adminstration !!
Now I was saying "Anything, but not sales"... Eagerly waiting for the miracle to happen again !!
But then, the words of Morgan Freeman in Bruce Almighty echoes in my ears.... "Dont wait for the miracle, Be the Miracle !! "
