Over our years in school and college, how many of us have been taught that the assured path to success is to select a subject and master it through degrees, a steady career and long years of experience?<\/span><\/p>\n Isn\u2019t it possible that children even today are being inadvertently guided into their careers with this approach – by parents, teachers, counselors and well wishers? This philosophy continues to keep us secure and remain in our chosen careers as adults.<\/p>\n Nirmala Sitharaman is presently India\u2019s Minister of Finance, a critical and closely-followed role plus the Minister of Corporate Affairs, in a dual role.<\/p>\n From 2017 to May 2019, she was India\u2019s first female Defence Minister, a role she served well and made the country proud of.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Nirmala had become the Indian Commerce Minister after her masters degree. She relocated to London after marriage and thrived in the corporate world before making her way back to India in 1991.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n While in the UK, Nirmala worked as a salesperson at Habitat, a home d\u00e9cor store. She also served as an Assistant to Economist in the Agricultural Engineers Association; Senior Manager R&D for Price Waterhouse and briefly at the BBC World Service.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Her climb up the political ladder included critical positions such as National spokesperson for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and member\u00a0of the\u00a0Rajya Sabha, upper house of the Indian Parliament, since 2016.<\/p>\n Her meteoric rise in the\u00a0currently ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) speaks volumes about her ability to take risk and her resilience to foray into challenging alternate areas that may or may not be her core strengths. A visible outcome of her agility is the top brass\u2019s confidence that Nirmala will make any challenge an experience of learning and adaptability and hence, success!<\/p>\n\n
