The Untold Story of Loy's Ability to Talk - Part 8

Ask anyone if they have any regrets in life

And you can be rest assured very few would say ‘yes’.

As a matter of fact, very rarely do people ever admit such a crime.

Why?

May be to portray a positive attitude.

May be to show a foolhardy delusional ability to control their destiny

May be to display a faith in some great super power

Or simply

May be because their pride would never let them admit this truth.

But I am of the humble opinion

Everyone has something

They wish they could change.

At least one.

If not, the assumption is simple

One has tuned his or her mind to think otherwise.

And since one cannot change how a person perceives life

I think I would be wise to let go of this assumption

And move on with the story

But yes the truth remain

If you are not perfect

If you are not in control of your environment

And if you are not 100% in control of everything you ‘aspire’ to be

Lets add other human beings

With the same issues and problems

Then yes, everyone has at least one regret.

I have many

But nothing comes close to this one

And it is my decision to leave my educational foundation unfinished

And pursue a career

As a speaker

In fact anything that would bring me to the spot light of speaking.

So great was the passion

And so addictive was the passion

That I found nothing wrong in jumping ship.

I landed in dubai with an oozing positivity

That life would embrace me

That challenges would be over come

And that I would conquer anything and everything

Little did I know

Anthony Robbins had over sold me to his idea

Without the most important ingredient

Common sense.

After coming to Dubai

For the next 2 years

I walked the hot, hungry and hopeless streets of Dubai

Knocking door after door

With an aim to get a job

But with a greater goal to use this as a stepping stone

To move towards my dream

Speaking as a career.

I applied to the only place I could

To showcase my skills

Speaking = Radio or Events.

In both cases, I was rejected

Totally

Absolutely

And firmly

After being stubborn for nearly 2 years

And running pillar to post

I ran out of the fuel my parents had filled me up with

The fuel of faith

And I finally moved into the first job I could grab

A shop keeper.

Yes, folks

After all the so called sophisticated education

And common sense

With all the accolades

I was now a humble shop keeper.

I thought the days were done with

And my dreams were over.

Surprisingly and shockingly

This was the going to be a wild ride

With stage experience

With events

And most importantly

Women.

And this is how it happened……
