When something great happens, what is your reaction?
Knowing it’s intended for you, do you accept it or do you brush it off?
I believe It’s important to accept recognition for all the great work we have carried out.
It gives a sense of pleasure and inspiration to hold a trophy that reads Alok Kashyap Founder Yatiken Software Solutions.
When any recognition is given it must be welcomed with an open heart and mind.
Also, I think If you weren’t hoping to be acknowledged and valued for the contributions you make, and for the hard work you do, you wouldn’t be putting in the effort and concentration that you are.
Therefore, accepting the acknowledgment that your work has been received and making it an anchor for your next great venture is important.
A month ago I was stressed about work, some things did not turn out the way they should have been. And it is demotivating to watch things not working out when you have a plan for it. When I was pondering about all these I realized the problem lies within ourselves that we expect on our own to have answers to everything, every obstacle coming our way.
The truth is we learn things and we should leave some things on the journey and life, which life will eventually teach us.
We aren’t always aware of how. Sometimes we’re not sure when. Sometimes we have no idea what to expect, where to look, or why. However, the answer I got is “growth or success in more ways than one comes with hard work.
In between all of these ups and downs, while I was figuring out things, I got an invitation to attend an award event function held in Mumbai. Being nominated enough was a great feeling until my name “Alok Kashyap” was called from the stage announcing that the Startup India Leadership Award 2024 goes to Alok Kashyap, CEO of Yatiken Software Solutions. The award was presented by Cinestar and Live News Network.
There are no words to express how happy it made me feel when my name was called onto the stage. It served as a beacon of fresh inspiration and hope. Along the same vein I was talking about, hard work, is the answer to all the questions and roadblocks.
I try to include effective communication, effective team-building strategies, continuous learning, and growth in my leadership activities. And also try to encourage my team and keep them motivated as much as possible.
Getting a leadership award is a great achievement for any CEO. When I see my name “Alok Kashyap” below the tagline of the award, my heart fills with pride and gratitude. And I am grateful for this journey.
I would conclude everything with “Hard work is never wasted”.
Doing a job is hard work. Gaining a promotion is hard work. Being a leader is hard work. Marriage is hard work. Being a parent is hard work. Spiritual and mental development is hard work. All in all, life is hard work.
So get to work.
Not because success is assured by hard work, but rather because hard work is necessary for success.
It may not always look like you wanted. It may not always be when you planned. It may not always be where you hoped. But, it eventually will be.
Hard work pays off.
