I had set out to achieve a milestone, set by someone who actually had set it as a challenge which was supposedly unachievable for me. It was intended as a derogation or so it seemed and I had resolved that I would get back to that person and show I was not an empty show. The challenge was of degree, position and six digit compensation.
Now when all that and in fact more is achieved with Degree, Position and not six but seven digit , I felt strangely empty. Seems now that was such an inane thing. I do not even feel like letting know. Now I think how small was I then and I am ashamed of my myopic view.
Things I wanted then, I did not get and things I have got is more than I imagined. I do not believe in higher being but today I think that what s/he planned was for better. It was meant to be good for all. Today every one is better than before and that's what matters.
Maybe what I had kept as my signature, is what is Truth: Mensh Tracht und Gott Lacht. ie "Man plans and God laughs"
