Sheikh Tariq’s Story

Humans of JBS/

The efforts we make, define us and make us who we are. I’ve always been a hard worker, proof of that is in the fact that I remained a high achiever throughout my academic period. I may no longer be studying but this is the same mindset that keeps me going. Setting goals for yourself in your personal and work life is very important, especially if you wish to be successful. I admit that does leave you with far too little time for yourself but you have to remember that it’s the little things that matter. Going grocery shopping with my wife, playing games with my son and helping my daughter with her speeches are the highlight of my life. My wife is the one person who keeps me going. I wouldn’t be where I am without her.

It’s funny, I didn’t always want a career in sales. There was a time I wanted to move towards the media industry. Maybe become an actor or an anchor person. It’s not something I pursued seriously but I was passionate about it. While this may not have played out the way I wanted, it translated into my love for TV shows and movies. Netflix definitely is the answer when I need some time to myself. I’m also very fond of reading and love to pick up a good book when I get the time, even if it doesn’t happen often.

It’s kind of crazy to think about how fast the world is progressing now and the way internet has changed everything we do. Especially in the post covid world. It has certainly given me many ideas about doing something in e-commerce in the future and having an online business of my own. It’s something that has definitely gotten me excited and I have already started working towards it.

Sometimes life turns out very different from what you thought was ideal for you but that does not mean it’s not good for you. Learn to adapt and do the best you can with what you’ve got. Your efforts will always show results. Just do remember to give back to the society. It’s our job to help our people. When I’m not working or spending time with family, me and my friends do a lot of charity work.
