From rags to riches ^^

Jyothi Reddy was born in a very poor family in Telangana, India. Everyday survival was a struggle for the family. Her father left her at an orphanage. He felt she would get food and a place to live in. Jyothi studied there from class five to class ten. It was a horrible period of time. Water shortage in bathrooms and waiting in a queue to enter the toilet were daily chores. The food in the hostel was full of bugs. To school, She used to walk 3 kilometers barefoot. In the classroom, she used to sit on the last bench, because she was ashamed of her torn clothes.

she got married to a farmer after she passed her 10th class. She was 16 years old, then. Within 3 years, she got two daughters. But her poverty was still with her. She used to work in agricultural fields as a laborer. To make the ends meet, She did many small jobs such as a night school teacher, a librarian, a tailor, and a National Service Volunteer.

While doing these jobs, she completed her graduation, BA. Then she got the job of a government teacher. When she was working as a teacher, she completed her post-graduate diploma in computer application to get the eligibility to work in the US.

She went to the USA to get a good job with a big salary. But she did not get any good job. She did not worry, because optimism and hopes were her weapons. There she worked as an assistant at a gas station, a babysitter, an assistant at a video shop and a recruiter.

She understood she was good at recruitment. She saved USD 40,000 in her 4 years of working in the USA. Using that money, she started her own company "Key Software Solutions", a private limited company, in Phoenix, USA, on October 22, 2001. Her company extended services such as recruitment and developing software solutions. Soon she got her daughters to the US and now both are married and working as software engineers.

The very first year there was a profit of USD 1,68,000 and just after the third year, she hit a million dollars. Now her annual turnover is 50 million dollars. Now 500 employees are working with her company.

Now Jyothi Reddy drives a Mercedes Benz car. She owns over 500 sarees and has more than 30 pairs of sunglasses. She has many spacious houses in Hyderabad and in America. Now your life may not be good. But don't worry. Life is full of surprises. Your life will change dramatically and unexpectedly. Do your present work perfectly. I have hope for the future. Many opportunities will come to you if you have optimism.
