STRATEGY TO

BUILDING A

CAREER

The most profound strategy to building a career is the STRATEGY OF PERSONAL DISCOVERY. The greatest

discovery in life is not the discovery of our environment, not the discovery of the devil but the discovery of ‘self’. All

around the globe, the most profound success stories are individuals who made their career choice based on personal

discovery. Examples: Henry Ford, Bill Gates, Larry Page, Cosmas Madukka, Oprah Winfrey, Andrew Carnegie, Colonel

Sanders and several others.
