Thank god I have done it!!!!

I am from those guys who were sitting on last/second last bench in school life. Never took any participation in school stage shows, even in never read any chapter/lines in presence of teacher & schoolmate. Always fears from speaking in front ofโ€ฆโ€ฆ Totally fails to get this extraordinary experience from the basis route of learning. This also harassed me so many times in training period. Always make me think how I can move at least step, seems like I am frozen in myself.

But as I completed my article-ship, I compare myself what I have learned during this training period it reminds that this area is same vacant as before. After so many discussions with seniors, I decided to expose myself step by step. 

Recently I have done three Internal Audits of three Plants of a listed Company; on first discussion with CFO of the company he was very much impressed with my auditing finding but due to shortage of time he requested to me please comes again after 2 days to discuss issues in details.

THE DAYS I remember as Judgement Day of my life 

As I expected meeting will held with same person (CFO) & might be two/three juniors will be joined during the conversation. But Actually I was wrong. When I came into the office our client, CFO asked me to join their BOD meeting, I was very much scared when I entered into conference room more than 20 persons are already sitting & some joined also joined with BOM as I enter. As I told earlier, I was scared of in center & searching for corner empty chair.

 After around half an hour, CFO announces let be first clear issues of our auditor & requested me to raise your queries. As I inexperienced I started from my chair, he again requested to me please come in front of all respected persons. The difference is all about just 20-22 steps, but during this it seems like I climbing on mountain & each next step gets harder-2 to take. From front its look like they all comes only for criticizing me only, I started from some simple issues, known by most of them, & looking at the wall and began to talk, instead of trying to watching person, to regain some confidence. But as times elapsed, I become so confident & started to raise some critical issues along with suggestions. Every one looking at me surprisingly how I manage myself to raise issue. Most of persons were agreed with issues & suggestion.

Finally meeting was over after more than three hours long discussion without any break, the MD comes with along with me & requested please do the same for other plants also, new assignments, previously done by some other CA-firm.

 I thank my GOD gives me challenging task surprisingly to enhance my strength earlier was LIMIT
