"Magic of Thinking Big" the book which changed my life. Just want to share with you some of my interesting incidents in my life. It was in year 1999-2000 when i realized I am in deep shit. Some time you will never know where are you heading. This was happening to me since 1996. I wanted to be an Electronics engineer but ended up doing Tool and Die making. Reason, I couldn't score well in my PUC. When I decided to join NTTF I was on the cloud nine because every one told me that I will be foreign country earning lots of money, the moment I finish. Things were not as I thought of. I remember during my days at NTTF one of junior asked me if I would get in to software in the future. My answer was "NO".
During 2000 I realized my life is not going in the direction which i want. Becoming desperate i joined Amway to earn lots of money. Ended up in a dept of Rs25K to my sister whom I kept lying why I need money. By the way Amway is not bad. The problem was in me.
I finished my Industrial training in August 2000. I had to take shelter at my sis place since I didn't have a job to support my self. I started my job hunting without wasting much time thinking that I will get some a good one. Three months of effort went in vain. I decided to go to Pune thinking there would be more opportunities there for a Mech guy. It was that conversation with my friend Nitin which made me to think about me. He asked me "where will you go if you don't find a job in Pune? will you go to the next city?" Often we feel grass on the other side is green. Then one day while I was walking on MG road. I saw the books on road side. I saw the book "Magic of Thinking Big". In Amway they recommend this book to read. I just picked it up paying Rs 60. I read it every day until I finished the book. It opened a new life for me. A new me was born who was quite serious about his life. Some body who stopped about day dreaming and started chasing the real dream of his life.
Today I am running a software start up in Bangalore. When I decided to move to IT most of the people said its not my cup of tea. But thanks to "Magic of Thinking Big" which made my dream in to reality.
I have a long way to go. I just stepped upon the first step of the ladder!
