The Self-Made Hero Of My Life

I have seen a real life self-made hero make it real big. His journey from someone with nothing to being someone with everything is phenomenal. All he did in was put in his efforts, his mind and soul into everything he did. He is hard work personified. He is one of best friends! It was a disaster when he lost his family to a tragic train accident and he was literally reduced to nothing. With no family to watch over him, distant relatives turning away from any kind of responsibilities and zero knowledge of finance left him hopeless. I have seen him rise from that phase in life to where he is now. The happiest thing about that is: He is still my best friend. The ups and downs of his life were not able to alter his friendship and the bond we shared.



He is one person who is gifted with a strong sense of farsightedness doubled with excellent analytical skills. I have seen him use this talent at his disposal to grow into a successful Venture Capitalist. He completed his education with commerce as his subject, and he was incredibly good at it. He faced a lot of constraints to finish his college without proper coaching and guidance and did whatever he could manage of his own. He always knew he would do something of his own and kept telling me that he was not made for a salaried job. He invested in a private equity fund. India, according to him is the hub of growing businesses and investing in the fund was one the best decisions he ever took.
 
He was so updated and aware about the market he knew the Growth Capital of India would increase in the future and invested at the right time. His initial investments were not much, some he had saved from his ancestral inheritance and some he added from his income from the job he had gotten to support his dreams. The company by the way was one of the best in the city but he had no intentions of continuing there and chased his dream to make it big in the world of real estate.
