HOW TO SUCCEED IN EVERYTHING IN YOUR LIFE.

 Very simple. Follow the following points:

 1.) Your willingness to learn is most important. 

 2.) Follow Standard Operating Procedures. Have faith in what you do. 

 3.) Work hard and strive your best. Put in your best effort.

 4.) Seek help and clarifications when required.

 5.) Be sincere in your work and you will get help from somewhere.

I quote an interesting experience my senior colleague from ACTech, Chemical Engineering had, when he started a Nitric Acid plant in the year 1972.

--------------------------------------

It is an interesting debate.

His 2 bits of experience.

Back in1972, I designed and executed a nitric acid and sodium nitrate plant. 20 tpd 53% acid and 8 tpd sodium nitrate plant Hno3 plant fully automatic .Operator at panel board just to watch action as needed. 

Only one experienced BSc in nitric acid could be got. I made him my Production Manager. He had no experience with automation.

I recruited raw Diploma holders in Chemical Engineering.

I trained them in manufacturing process basic PID controller theory start-up and shut down procedures. 

I taught them safety in handling bulk ammonia and acid. The ammonia stream has 9 auto safety shut downs. Sodium nitrate neutralization with soda continuous evaporator and crystallization. batch centrifuging and continuous drying. I got only one Chemical Engineer for process improvement etc.

The Nitric Acid plant was running smoothly and successfully by me. 

The lesson I learnt, to be successful is:

- Willingness to learn.

- Follow SOP. 

- Seek help and clarification. 

- Work hard.  

It just took 3 to 4 weeks. after 3 months no need for detailed supervision.
