My Life as a Banker: A life worth Living

REVIEW:

"My Life As A Banker is a fascinating, intimate story.
The author has an engaging writing style that draws you into the story and you feel as though she is talking directly to you, the reader.
There is a nice balance between the professional and the personal and while I found the professional aspects rewarding, the highlight for me was reading about the author's interesting life.

The social history aspects of the book also fascinated me, particularly the descriptions of life in Trinidad and I would imagine that this memoir will serve as an important document for social historians in years to come.

This might sound strange to say about a book with Banker in the title, but the author demonstrates quite vividly that there are far more important things than money in life."

Excerpt from the book My Life as a Banker- Dealing with an Irate Customer

Today i want to share a short excerpt from my book My Life as a Banker: A Life Worth Living.

DEALING WITH AN IRATE CUSTOMER

"Every time I faced a difficult situation on the job, I prayed to God for the wisdom of King Solomon to deal with it.
One day I heard an irate customer quarreling loudly with a male staff member and asking to see the Manager.
He was cursing, using obscene language, and carrying on because his employers did not send his salary to the bank.
I heard the staff member trying to explain to him it was not the fault of the bank and that he should check with his employer, but to no avail.
The staff member was scared and he asked me if I would speak to him.
I must admit that I was scared too but I agreed.
After all, I was the manager and it was my responsibility to ensure that customers were satisfied
When the customer entered my office he seemed shocked to see me.
He covered his mouth with his hands, then apologized profusely for the disturbance he caused.
He repeated a few times, “Miss, I am so sorry. If I knew such a young girl was the manager I would have behaved myself. Please accept my apology. I will do anything you say.”
After offering him a seat, I chatted with him and explained that sometimes there were delays in receipt of salaries from Government agencies. He said he was a teacher and he once worked with one of the best headmasters at the Penal Presbyterian School.
He was unaware that he was speaking of my father.
When I told him that Dr. Khan was my father he was even more apologetic.
He was happy with our conversation and left the bank in a good mood."

MY LIFE AS A BANKER

Although the title of the book I was prepared to read was about the author’s life as a banker, this book is so much more.
It a memoir written in journal accounting as the author takes the reader on the journey almost from birth to adulthood.
Throughout there are various scenarios of life on the island of Trinidad, where the story is set.
I’ve visited several of the islands in the Caribbean; however, Trinidad is not one of them.
Maybe one day.
But after reading several of the author’s books some set in Trinidad, I feel as if I’ve visited the place in person, so vivid the descriptions.
The other thing that needs pointing out about this accounting is the way the author took the reader to work with her, from her first job to her movement up the corporate ladder, and her ultimate position as a Bank manager.
There are lots of brief descriptions of her family life, being courted by her husband and the wonderful ceremony of her wedding.
This book has a bit of everything and will keep the reader’s interest until the end.
Very interesting read!
