Hard to believe your eyes, isn't it? The time when Lehman got busted, many biggies went bankrupt, and the time when I was in the final year of my MBA and desperately needed a job while the job market was shrinking, the time when nothing seems to be going in the right direction, How can anyone (including me)

thank recession?

Revisiting all the events that took place in my life in the past 1 year, I realized that I should thank recession for making the market conditions so worse that despite having all the qualifications needed for a job, it was hard to find one because today, I own a construction business, running successfully.

With all this I learned that every bad time gives us an opportunity to reshape our life, what that shape is going to be depends on the way we want it to be.

So for all those victims of recession out there, there couldn't be a better time to start your business, Biggies are laying off, delaying their projects, cutting costs, reducing expenses, so grab an idea, hammer it, punch holes in it, give it a shape, make a business plan, get the funding for it, start your business. If you don't get the opportunity, create it.
