PEBBLES, PETALS AND PEARLS

Ambition, Aspiration and Wishful thinking alone does not ensure success to a corporate manager or entrepreneur unless backed by hard work and knowledge gained from personal experience or learning from shared experiences. Any qualifying degree in management, engineering, science etc is just a passport to enter into an organisation as a rough stone falls into a river water, over a period by induction, training and organisational exposure, and peer group interaction becomes a soft and well-rounded pebble that aspires to become a petal attracting attention from professional groups, soon a higher responsibility in a functional area adores.
