About Prakash Ranjan

A professional can be anyone within the range of following occupation as a means of livelihood to being expert and learned. I think the best way to judge, where do I stand in this range is to sum up all my qualities and competencies that make me worth being called a ‘professional’. What is so special about me? I am experiencing cum learning various skills and performing roles like thousands other professionals. However I don’t tend to look my work as routine affairs. They are sacred to me. Everytime special care is taken, something additional done, something different achieved. Being more than a nine day wonder, I do take a little longer time to analyse things a lot. My thinking involves using the five senses inwardly – especially seeing, hearing and feeling. But most of it, the best thing about me is to get to the core of a matter and see the long term implications in turn to enable me with sound decision making in the form of visualisation. Visioning is just one of the aspects. My belief provides the necessary fuel to execute it and guts become the guiding light. I act out with firmness and resolution and I display resilience by quickly recovering from strains in case of failures. However the responsibility of failure is never denied on my part and mistakes teach me a lot. I am open to criticisms but I rely more on my internal mechanism of assessing and developing own standards of what is excellent and how it should be done. Competition motivates me and constantly produces a desire to strive for a greater success. It has also resulted in developing individual identity. I tend to find my own new and unconventional ways of solving problems, of looking at various things and acting on decisions. At last, not ignoring my candid nature, I confidently declare myself qualified enough to put somewhere closer to a competent and efficient professional.
