METEORIET: What was the most important decision you took in

your life?

Mr. Abdul Khalique Khan: The most imperative decision was to

leave my well-established job as I was Deputy General Manager at

Descon with a vast experience of almost 26 years, getting all the

luxuries and to initiate my own setup. I am a great risk taker because I

believe in myself. It was the biggest decision but today I am proud of

that greatest decision as my I am CEO of Mansol three departments, all

are successfully stable and I am aimed to expand it more.

Mr. Abdul Khalique Khan: My advice to students are to believe in

themselves, build a capability to cope with difficulties, obstructions and

never lose hope. Develop professional skills by actively participating

in societies and polish all the good qualities, and respect humanity

without any discrimination. I strongly suggest them to do job in abroad

as foreign industries teach a lot of lessons and make the person perfect

technically and professionally expert and eventually work for the

prestige of our country. In short, set a goal, put your heart into it, take

risks, go to abroad, learn and enhance new skills and when you feel like

that you’re ready to serve your country, come back and make this

country a better place.

METEORIET: How do you see yourself as professional?

Mr. Abdul Khalique Khan: As a professional, I’m a risk taker and a

target oriented person with a strong self-esteem and belief that

everything is possible. My loyalty, honesty and continuous hard work

helped me excel in life. I took problems as an opportunity and instead

getting tense and wasting time, I try for best solutions and I consider all

the situations before a decision to successfully accomplish with a strong

determination. I had never gave up in my life. These are qualities for

which I am a role model to my own employees.
