I don’t exactly recall that many occasions when I was congratulated, primarily because, over the years, I have remained more of an “under-achiever” rather than a bold and successful person. But, I guess that my luck decided to smile on me also once when I also got some sort of recognition and congratulation for something which I never thought I would ever be able to pull off.
Yes, it is hard to believe that I got congratulated by a group of people, who had never taken me seriously prior to that pleasing moment because I helped my company save a lot of unnecessary costs.
Anyway, here is how the story went. About 5 years ago, I had just started working as a Jr. Accounting Analyst at a small electronics appliance manufacturing company. But, when I started my job there, the company was already struggling financially. Of course, that was not exactly any of my business because, frankly speaking, I was just happy to have a job there. But, I could still feel the tension and commotion in and around the offices of my company concerning the direction of the company. Anyway, while we all were worried about the direction of the company, one day, we all were called at a meeting by our company chairman who asked us to prepare some reports on how to cut the high costs of running the company. So, we all got busy finding the reasons behind such high costs and preparing reports on it. Once all the reports were submitted, it was time to know which report(s) got the best reviews and remarks. And, to my surprise, I found that it was my reports which got the best comments and remarks. In fact, the company board of directors even called me at their office and congratulated me for the findings.
Needless to say, I felt so happy and speechless about the congratulation. After that congratulation from my company board of directors, I thanked them while also realizing for the first time that I also had some good potential in me for a successful career ahead of me.
