PETROLEUM, COAL AND GREEN ENERGY
Corruptions, Politics and Frauds
Excelling in academics has always been a point of pride and motivation for me. As the top student in chemistry, I dedicated myself to understanding the subject in depth and applying my knowledge in practical scenarios. My fascination with chemistry naturally led me to develop a keen interest in the petroleum industry, a field where chemical processes play a crucial role.
At a very early age, I came to an important realization: while high grades in chemical engineering were valuable, they were not the ultimate key to success in the petroleum industry. Through observation and experience, I saw that career advancement and meaningful opportunities often depended on much more than just academic performance.
What truly made a difference was the ability to establish strong relationships with influential individuals—specifically, the ministers and top executives within the petroleum sector. Networking, building trust, and understanding the priorities of industry leaders proved to be essential skills for navigating the complexities of this field.
In reflection, being a top student in chemistry gave me a strong foundation, but my true progress in the petroleum industry has come from cultivating meaningful connections. I now recognize that lasting success is achieved by balancing expertise with the ability to build and maintain professional relationships within the industry.
