Opportunity
So 1Cr it is! Congratulations sir! You are Hired. The HR held hand into a firm handshake. The smile on Dan's face was clear. As he began to leave the interview room though, it struck him.
So i agreed to work for someone else's dream for money?
Yes, you did! Red replied angrily.
Maybe, but the money is good, you can do whatever you want with it, Grey argued.
But what about your project? Does a TV selling brand's success matter more to you than your dream?
Well, that's what Sandy's doing, and she's like the best in the college? She can't be wrong. Besides everyone is so happy about the job.
.
.
Okay, do it then. Dan took the sarcasm in Red's voice as a yes. THE END
.
.
.
Alternate ending.
Okay, so want me to give it a shot? How am i supposed to explain this to everyone? I'd be a fool to reject this offer.
Okay let's say you take the offer. How would you imagine your life spanning out?
I'll work in one of the most lavish offices in the country. Free food, free WiFi and a bunch of smart people around. I can go on foreign trips and there's never a no when i see the price tag!
Does that sound good to you?
It sure does!
Well, what about when you work on your own project?
I will have to work harder. I need to search for people who share the vision and need to boss them around to work. I don't like bossing.
Go on...
I won't get my own office, just my small room with computer...But...
I'm listening.
I'll create something great... Something that makes a positive change. I'll have a reason to wake up each morning, to situp and open that black subl window knowing that what i do today might fetch a thank you form someone somewhere in the world. I'd scale and scale the project and when it's time to let go, i'd be proud of the change it made and will continue to make after i leave.
"So do you still want the job?", Red smiled.
That was a great interview sir thank you for the time but i can't take the job. Got some pending dreams to work on first :)
P.S.: Of course Grey was not happy with the choice he had to do all the work, more rewiring of all those worker neurons every time, but in the end, it was all worth it.
P.P.S : I personally believe that working(being mentored) by someone who's already done something similar to what you are trying to achieve is one of the best ways to go. Although you must be smart and brave enough to withdraw at the right moment.
