LAW SOCIETY EXCELLENCE AWARDS 2019 WINNER!
Success is Achievable!
I first started working at Nayyars in 2015 and this was my first job in a law firm. I had no knowledge about anything to do with law. On my first day I walked in, sat at my desk and it was like looking at a blank canvas.
My first job role was in New Claims and have now moved into Accounts where I have been for over a year. When I was first asked if I wanted to join the Accounts Team I didn’t know what to expect. I knew it would be a challenge as working with numbers was never one of my strong points!
However, I have now proved myself wrong and come to realise that I am a lot more capable than I imagined. I have come a long way since I started this role and I am very grateful to Nayyars for giving me this opportunity and for believing in me.
My advice to anyone who doubts their abilities, you are a lot more capable than you think. Look at the positives instead of the negatives and believe in yourself. Motivation plays a big part in your ability to achieve things. Sometimes when the going gets tough giving up seems an easy option. Continual motivation of the right kind and in the right environment can move us towards success. Thankfully, I have experienced this kind of environment working at Nayyars.
If you work hard and set goals on where you want to be in life you will get there. However, setting goals can carry a fear of not achieving them which is understandable too. However, the amazing thing about setting goals is the journey towards achievement and realising other opportunities and possibilities along the way.
See yourself accomplishing your goals, gathering inspiration from the people you associate with who can have a big impact on your life. Surround yourself with positive energy and you will find happiness and success.
