Version_1.1

I had been into “Operations” role for more than half a decade and the maximum times we need to do is data analysis. An extensive search for creating the base data and concluding with some important findings which will be beneficial for the organization. So every time I submit my final files to management, they come up with some changes and trust me it hurts my ego because I had been working upon the data so meticulously considering every demand of theirs and once the cake is ready, they will ask to add some raisins to it.

We brainstorm another session and sometimes fight upon how it is totally irrelevant and agreeing to some sanity level.  I shall sit and do the whole exercise again with a different perspective and send them the revised file. I name it version_1.1 and with every changes the version number increases. There had been times when the number was version_1.50.

Then the final day will come when the numbers, graphs and pie charts are represented and everyone is gone with storm upon how well the data was analyzed and represented. I virtually danced the Micheal Jackson’s “aao” step every time I see a smile and a nod from the audience.

That’s how we build upon our character too. We analyze and represent our best but we do keep getting feedback upon how we are. We can collect the information from our whole big universe and sit again to agree or to disagree. Sometimes we are not even given choice, you have to live with it.

So, next time when you are in a situation consider it as a demand from the universe as it wants you to go through it to bring out the better version of yourself. You may have to go through yourself all over again with a different perspective but if you choose to there will be new directions opened upon for better opportunities.

The crux is in your limited time on the planet earth you can only compare yourself with the previous version of yours and see your own graph. Keep growing!
