When I look back 44 years and the struggle that I was going through when West Bengal was going through the educational upheaval, the only reason that I could continue on my journey was keeping my focus steadfast on my long term goals. Focus was on keeping my values in tact and preserved it well. It has served me till date. I fact in my late 20s when I appeared to be stuck in my career compared to my contemporary friends, it is my core vales of being focussed on my job, delivering as per plan and upskilling myself for meeting customer aspirations. Hence, please focus on keeping your core values intact in this challenging times.
