An opportunity

It was October when i first heard the news that the project is thinking of sending me to the client site for temporary assignment.
Quite a big opportunity if you ask me.
They usually send developers to gather requirements or get transition for the customizations.
But ladyluck smiled on me and here I am counting the remaining days before my first flight to the US - 5 days.
Not sure yet what's going to happen in the coming four months, but it will probably be the most memorable four months of this decade for me.
Wouldn't want to think that it is just luck that delivered me this great opportunity...hardwork had something to do with this.
Yes, I have worked hard in this project more than I have worked with any other project over the last 6 years. I've spent time away from my family, sleepless nights and received client calls even at 3am.
I've always believed that if you work very hard you will get better compensation. And that if you put your heart into what you are doing, then whatever you are doing will love you back.
But more than anything else, these golden opportunities we get are great equilibriums for all of the sacrifices and failed attempts we have had in the past.
At the right time, when we are the right person for the job, and we have the right attitude...then the opportunity will come knocking at your door.
