#Quora Question - What is the best “I QUIT” moment you have ever witnessed an employee do?

I along with my assistant resigned in the best way I remember. It is no secret that I lost heavily in #Nifty #BankNifty and futures in whole during 2009. I decided to do MBA in finance 1/n

Like that would have helped. By the time I completed MBA, I was broke. In the hopes of a good job and having faced life realities, I did my MBA with utmost sincerity. Up for marketing jobs. Best in communication skills. Ready to relocate and learn new things. I was placed at 2/n
A package of 18 lakh per annum in a Singapore based company. It was huge for me. Suddenly dreams coming true. Turned out, this was a period of fake placements in Punjab. It turned out to be a fake placement. College management realized their mistake and tried to placate me. 3/n
They offered me a meagre package of 3.6 lpa in marketing. I had to take it as it was best available. Being placed at 18 lpa, I was not allowed to take part in interview of other companies. I tried working smart and hard, but when you work for companies run by lala's 4/n
And no professionalism, you get fake promises. I kept slogging at 30k per month which was 3 months delayed and also kept #BackTesting in #OptionsTrading. For 4+ years I kept asking for promotions but always the fake promises. In Feb 2017, me and my assistant were sitting 5/n
And casually talking with one of our colleague.
He said - Sir, Lets Resign.
I said - Okay
We wrote our resignation with 3 month notice period and immediately sent it. Our colleague thought it was a PJ for next hour or so when finally our immediate boss gave us a call. 6/n
After that we strolled in campus, worry free for the day. We were finally free from god forsaken job.
Next day my wife also resigned as a teacher from the college. I took a leave next day and started visiting banks for a loan to raise money for trading. 7/n
It took me 15 to 20 days to arrange money. Another 25 days when my college itself released me from service. I never looked back to that place ever since. Rest is history. Now #OptionsTrading is my sole bread and butter.

When I look back, this was the best resignation ever.

MDZS is laden with buddhist references. As a South Asian person, and history buff, it is so interesting to see how Buddhism, which originated from India, migrated, flourished & changed in the context of China. Here's some research (🙏🏼 @starkjeon for CN insight + citations)

1. LWJ’s sword Bichen ‘is likely an abbreviation for the term 躲避红尘 (duǒ bì hóng chén), which can be translated as such: 躲避: shunning or hiding away from 红尘 (worldly affairs; which is a buddhist teaching.) (

2. Sandu (三 毒), Jiang Cheng’s sword, refers to the three poisons (triviṣa) in Buddhism; desire (kāma-taṇhā), delusion (bhava-taṇhā) and hatred (vibhava-taṇhā).

These 3 poisons represent the roots of craving (tanha) and are the cause of Dukkha (suffering, pain) and thus result in rebirth.

Interesting that MXTX used this name for one of the characters who suffers, arguably, the worst of these three emotions.

3. The Qian kun purse “乾坤袋 (qián kūn dài) – can be called “Heaven and Earth” Pouch. In Buddhism, Maitreya (मैत्रेय) owns this to store items. It was believed that there was a mythical space inside the bag that could absorb the world.” (TWX)
