3. "Initially, I hated my boss. He would not accept any of my research, he always had a list of mistakes I'd made and this made me feel like maybe I'm not even cut out for the field of research. But after a year of working, he called me to his cabin and told me that he knows he's been hard on me but it's only because he knew I could do better and pushed me towards it. He then said that his method has paid off because my work has been excellent. I did get a good increment for it as well. A lot of things made sense to me after this conversation."

6. ¡°A witty as my boss was, he'd always appreciate me in his own style humorously in front of my colleagues. Working with him never felt like 'working'. He changed my vision towards the most conventional things. I'll always be thankful to him to make me what I am today.¡±

7. "I met the best boss I've had till date during an internship. I was enrolled to study law with a business degree but I was more inclined towards the business bit. I went for a business-related internship but after three years of working, my boss told me he talked to a lawyer friend and has gotten me an internship with him. He felt like I was better suited for the profession because of the way I approached things. I've been a practicing lawyer for three years now."
