I was recently working with an assignment that involved verification of documents for some registration purposes. The work had to be done meticulously there was to be little scope of error in it as we were playing with values nearing crores of INR. I'll spare the details. However its numbers soared high. When a large box of documents came I was taken aback. I wondered how I will complete the task and that too in time.
But then my colleague and senior simply started verifying the 'papers'. I helped with a sceptical mind. We worked for some hours everyday without burdening ourselves nor procrastinating.
Within three days we completed the first part of our task. This was just the beginning but now I am confident of success.
The problem was in mindset which was intimidated when encountered by an unknown. The mind it seems to always do so with tasks never done before but most importantly which have not even been started.
I was recently reading Richard Branson's Autobio- Loosing my Virginity. This business magnate started from a small students' magazine and later was playing with millions of dollars pursuing passions and beliefs without much support from 'people'. He always landed in success. There were no failures, only obstacles that were surmounted. Just his belief and passion caused him not to be intimidated.
LESSON: Do not be intimidated by situations, people or others... no matter what. There will always be a solution if we are ready to find it and act on it.
