It has been a stressful day. Working with this client has been the greatest challenge ever for me. I always wanted to be an engineer when i was kid. As i grew i drew design of flying cars. Then I realized that machines were not for me. But i was not disullioned by machines totally but physical machinery. Over the years i realized that i was still the engineer that i dreamt to be but of different machinery, that of management and organization.
Today as i am setting up management systems and ERP’s i see myself as an engineer building a skyscraper or a hydropower plant. There is so much challenges everyday but then there is a grand design to complete. It took many years and sacrifice to find my vocation. Years of training and counseling have added the skills required to implement ERP’s on the ground in record time. Years of selling training and consulting have made me indestructible in spirit.
It has been a hard and long journey.
Today using the metaphor of engineering, i was building a power station and the river was still flowing. I used diversion for the water, put up temporary structures and built the main structure.
Last day i was totally knocked out by stress as i saw my ERP failing to keep up the speed of business flow. But like a great engineer i fixed the problem. Problems will come but i will design mechanisms and systems to mitigate them.
So yes i am tired and the ERP is not complete yet.
This ERP is not just a building, it is like a city all together. I’m just loving the mission.
I always followed by heart. Many times it lead me to misery but i never gave up on it. It was test. Today i have synchronized my heart with my head.
ERP architecture, engineering and construction is still in its infancy, but I know i will make it a great new industry.
