CA Prema Jayakumar (CA Final 1st Ranker, Nov’
2012)
Let me put some facts to the reader and then will proceed for
lessons out of the same.
Ms. Prema is from very normal family of four family members,
her parents and her younger brother. Her
father Jayakumar Perumal is from Tamil Nadu, and was an auto driver for 20
years. Her mother used to work for a private company. She later stopped working
later on for health reasons. They lived in
a very small house in Malad, Mumbai (India).
With these given facts, it’s very easy to make you think on
this. This case really inspires me at this very moment (even though its almost
five years I have cleared my CA). This story really motivates me to believe
that if you want to give your 100% to something, then you can achieve anything. Not just studies but for me, it is a lifetime lesson, a true inspiration. A candidate with moderate amount of available resources but abundance of
confidence and dedication can of course create history. This gives me at least
a fair bit of idea about the motive behind her hard work. Am sure she would be
working hard in studies just to see her family a lot happier at later stage
when she becomes a chartered accountant. This has served as a great motivator
for her. I have seen many chartered
accountants studying in my hostel had this purpose in their mind, to make their
family so richer and happier that they would never have imagined as possible (To
admit, I was one of them). This one thought of making others happier
(especially parents) can move mountains. Based on this thought, all other
things are just branches of the big tree. If you are firm on the grounds on
which your actions are based, all other thing happens automatically.
“Faith allows things to happen, it is the power that comes
from a fearless heart and when a fearless heart believes, miracles happen. (Shared this message which I happen to receive from one of my friend at the time when I was typing this article)
