I’m back!!!! 2


Well, this is not another Terminator movie, and I’m not Arnold Schwarzenegger. However, there is enough drama in this, and I thought this would make a perfect title.

It’s been a while I’ve written something and last time I did tell you that I took a job and that was the main reason for the shortage of posts.

You might have seen my update on LinkedIn, and you might’ve also seen it going back to what it was earlier within a short time span.

I resigned from my position (which took me a while to figure out what it was) and I’m back to where I belong – the consulting world.  As I was saying earlier, there is enough drama in it, and I’m not going to say everything that happened within the 2-month timeframe.

I would like to think that as my Halloween trick (I walked out on Oct 31st 20017) 😉

A few people who are close to me know what happened and I’m sure that I’m not going to be the one who is going to raise fingers first. However, I’m going to say this to you all

You can buy a man’s time; you can buy a man’s physical presence at a given place;

You can even buy a measured number of skilled muscular motions per hour or day.

But you cannot buy enthusiasm;

You cannot buy initiative;

You cannot buy loyalty;

You cannot buy the devotion of hearts, minds, and souls.

You have to earn these things.

– Clarence Francis, Chairman General Foods

Sometimes Trust just remains as a five-letter word.
