The attributive attitude : Part 3
Prelude:
You have to
pay price for “rich” dinner and “heavy” breakfast, who so ever you are. I was
not the exception, seeing my belly peeping out from my T-shirt, having a tag
line-
“JFor balanced diet I prefer beer in
both handsJ”,
Education is a must! |
I decided
that from the next cock-crow I would be going for a “healthy” jog every day. I
was driven by a strong determination to have a flat belly. I woke up early, the
sun was still rising and except birds no one was chirping. The dawn was chilly
but my resolve was brimming with vigor.
As I passed
by a coconut water seller, my mind beeped “nothing can be healthier than
coconut water!”.
Though exhausted but nothing to do except slurping the sweet
water, I set up a conversation with the coconut seller…
Me-Hey!
Since when you are in this profession? (I stressed the last word purposefully)
The seller-It’s been 6 years I am selling these green pulpy pebbles.
Me-Oh great! And where do you see yourself after 2-3 years? (As if I was conducting an interview for a job in an MNC)
The seller (With a sheen in his eyes)-Right now I sell 20-25 coconuts in a day, in near future I want to expand my business to 50-60 odd coconuts.
Astounded by his answer, I paid him money for the wonderful treat and came back home. Still in a deep thought that-

“How can a person have
such a limited demand from his life! “.

This is not
the fault of that poor chap; it’s the education he hasn’t’ “imbibed”. Education
plays an imperative role in your life. But due to lack of education, your “Attitude”
is badly affected and your viewpoint towards your life and your career changes
no bounds.
Knowledge always have deep roots! |
Education is not just the academic qualification from a reputed school or a
degree from a professional institute; it’s a blend of moral-social values and
experience. This knowledge translates into wisdom, ensuring success. The
knowledge creates a whole new outlook towards the future prospective, and the
ripple effect in your attitude is immeasurable. Education ought to teach us not
only how to make a living but also how to live and too with a positive
attitude.
Education is imperative in life whatever you crave to be and moreover attitude
comes as a gratuity with this knowledge.

Epilogue:
Since it was
a chilly morning and I was already exhausted from my first day jog and my
thought, nothing could had better supplemented the calorie loss except mom made
butter soaked omelet and ice-cold banana shake. But that little episode with
the coconut water seller kept on gyrating in my head…
Experience speaks for itself |
true :)
