Essay: - What is the best advice you have ever received?
-------------------
Advice in the life can be on many dimensions like studies, job, career, marriage, habits and many more. In this essay I will elaborate on an advice received by me for acquiring higher qualification while in the job and make my career.

I was working as a Senior Electrician in an oil corporation. Another Sr. Electrician there was pursuing a part time, four year study course of Diploma in Electrical Engineering. I was advised by my boss to pursue this diploma with help of local polytechnic.

According to this advice, I secured admission in the polytechnic and started studying for my Diploma in Electrical Engineering after a break of sixteen years. I was regularly attending evening classes after my day’s job in my company. This was all very tiring. One of my other colleagues was my classmate here. Both of us use to pool for transport and we use to study jointly at my home. Every semester up to third year we cleared. In the Fourth and Final Year both semesters we studied very hard. We use to solve ten sets of past examinations papers daily. In a way our preparation became so good that we could write the Final Year Examinations without any difficulty or delay. I passed out the examination with First Class and First Rank. I scored the highest marks in the batch and experienced a success. Because of this I received many promotions and financial gains.

In nut shell, I joined as Electrician and retired as Manager. Hence I feel this to be the best advice I ever received.
