Ten Years from now  − 1 February, 2008

Today at dinner time, this question was put to me. Where do you see yourself after ten years? And this was not by a recruiter but from one of my friends. She asked it and she was expecting an honest answer (not the answer I give in my recruitment or professional interviews).

It made me think. Surely, never thought about this in much details, though I do think about what I want to achieve in professional life. I thought over it and realized that it is not about material possession but about the expectations of people. I want to do more than what they expect out of me. 

This is not an easy thing. Expectations keep on changing as you move up. So probably, ten years from now, I want to see myself far better than what I was at 9th year from now. People should not be saying "he could have done that" but should be saying " we never thought he could achieve this". 

 I want to outdo myself and go beyond people's expectations, though how beyond, that is another thing.
