Striving for Excellence

Professionally when we have a recognition from our work, our working opportunities appear easily.

In 2007, May in concrete, I received an invitation to be a chairman of 3 days conference in Bialystok, Poland.
The invitation came by e-mail from one Polish guy called Pawel Turel.
Sincerely, I couldn't remember who was Pawel, but the e-mail was very well written and totally motivated.
Is not every day that we receive and invitation like that, mainly in the beginning of our career.

Pawel was a ex-colleague from one finance conference in Warsaw 2 months before.
As his e-mail said, I would be the right person for this responsibility because the impact of my work in the previous conference.

As is logic, I said yes.
The rest of invitations came in consequence.

Learning point:

When is not expected, something great happens.
Some people says it's luck.
I don't believe in luck. Luck works.
We just have to be at the right time in the right place, in the right moment. Whatever it costs.
We just have to desire to be excellent every single day.
