Over 10 years ago, I was working as a contractor for a pharmaceutical company. I thought I was doing everything right—working hard, starting early, staying late. But despite my efforts, my manager wasn’t happy. I tried everything to meet expectations, but nothing seemed to be enough.
Then came the call. It was from the recruitment company that had placed me. They politely told me, “Your contract has been terminated.” In other words, I had been sacked.
At that moment, the fear set in—this might be the end of my career. What if I couldn’t find another job? What if this was my defining failure?
It reminded me of Ben Stokes, the current captain of the English cricket team. During the T20 World Cup final against the West Indies, Stokes was hit for four consecutive sixes, handing the win to the West Indies. He admitted it felt like the end for him. But now, look where he is—a captain, a hero, and one of the most successful cricketers today.
He gave advice to Jofra Archer during the World Cup final against New Zealand, telling him that whatever happens in that moment won’t define his career.
And that’s the lesson I want to share with you: sometimes, no matter how hard you work, you’ll face moments where things don’t go your way. You might lose a job, face a project failure, or miss a big opportunity. But those moments don’t define who you are or what the future holds. Resilience is key, and with it, success will eventually follow.
