Know what motivated Harish to never settle for less in life. Read more on Shiksha.

My educational qualification has not landed me here, but my experience has. The experiences I have gained in the journey of life are the actual reason behind my success.  As per my opinion experience is the mother of science and it all starts with a dream. Nobody is born with experiences. It is after your birth, when you start developing your knowledge and gain experience from life. Here I choose finance & marketing industry for my career growth and am very much happy so far. If you provide a chance, then I will put my life in to it.

  The famous phrase of Gautam Buddha, which states that “What you think, is what you become.”  

How I selected my career path

I feel that the career path I have selected is the best to prove my skills. I enjoy my job to the fullest and always keep an eye on all the possible growth aspects. One needs to live their job, then is when they will actually achieve success in life. My funda of life is to never look back with regrets instead, keep moving on. I always recall the famous phrase of Gautam Buddha, which states that “What you think, is what you become.”
