Multi-Dimensional Success

A conversation with Sandie a couple of weeks ago has been playing on my mind ever since (my selective deafness button must have been on the blink at the time). At the end of the conversation, she said that she had been moved by what I had said, and that she thought that I was maturing and becoming more normal. That whole prospect worried me and has been eating away at me ever since.

Needless to say the conversation was about my upcoming move to Wipro. I told her that I was hopeful that the upcoming change would give me the opportunity to be successful in other areas of my life, not just at work. At the age of 32 one senses a sea change afoot……

Let’s cut a long story short and ignore a number of valid caveats…As with many motivated, young European / Anglo Saxon in their 20s, and without necessarily verbalising it as such, success has essentially always been a function of my career level and size of pay cheque. In addition to these professional objectives, which will remain and are now funnily enough even clearer in my own mind, I have also identified objectives in terms of being a good husband, a good father to Maxime and a successful horse rider. Whilst it may sound to some that life is getting more complicated, in actual fact I suspect it is going to become more enjoyable. Success has now become multi-dimensional…..
