Robin couldn’t believe his eyes. He had just received an appointment order to join a leading MNC as a top rung executive. ‘How can this happen, I didn’t even apply for the job’, robin wondered ‘It doesn’t matter anyway; big people can recognize talent from any corner of the world’ ‘At last someone really knows who I am and what I am capable of’ Robins mind stretched out the wings of imagination as he started calculating the annual income, special benefits and bonuses. He was in cloud nine as he realized how much comfort and luxury all that money can give. ‘How little my foolish boss had undermined my talent and worth. He paid me a meager salary every month’ ‘He’s the first person worth knowing of my real potential and of course about the job’. Robin opened his mail box, typed his resignation letter using the most arrogant language that he could possible think off. He clicked send and started off to celebrate this fine moment with his family back home. He folded the appointment order and pushed it into the cover. It was then the he realized something was wrong. The letter was addressed to Mr. Robin Sharma No: 10 Gandhi nager, 6th avenue Mumbai.16 Robin’s heart missed a beat, name is ok, no 10 is also ok, but Gandhi Nager 6th avenue? PS: Robin’s office was in the 9th avenue.
