The hanging garden:
“I, baby number 22/39 of St. Stephen Hospital’s ward number
49 have taken birth to do something big in my life” I could have thought while
lying in the cradle, waiting for the nurse to “deliver” me to my mom.
Everyone in his or her life believes in the fact that that
person is on the earth to make it large and to be better than the best, I was no
exception. The one who does not believe in oneself can’t achieve anything in
life. There lies a motive behind every move you make, every option you think
about and every product you can extract out from that very move of yours.
After spending 14 years in school, taking non medical in 11th
and then getting into a good engineering college, what is that one thing which
is I have done differently. The answer is nothing except accepting this
very own fact.
Is acceptance of anything makes a difference?
Answer is Yes, at least we are now knowing that where we are
and how much ground we have to cover to achieve something big. Life is full of
mediocre attempts to fulfil our present need and suffice our appetite for
happiness. But, mediocrity can be lethal for your performance, your life style
and the people surrounding you, the one who expect greater good from you.
What stops us from doing something big?
For some their partner is the sole motive of change. For
some the people who fall back, becomes the reason of progressive success. For
some the non acceptance of the idea becomes the sole motive to achieve that and
to prove people wrong. But first step has to be taken and to think about the
result before the labour is not acceptable.
I fear from every above question and hence I think, I failed
to do something differently. But, have you achieved everything you ever
desired?
The girl you wanted to date, the villa you always aspired to
own, the Rolls Royce which stood parallel to your car on a red light, The
support you always thought you will get from your partner, the love from the
people you love, the cabin and the position you always wanted to get, the
business idea for which you needed an investment for, the goodwill for the
people in need, the social work, the world tour, desire to act in a movie,
getting six pack abs, completing every degree you thought about, playing for
men in blue, forming your own band and many more.
Everyone can’t be next Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Narayan
Murthy, Ratan Tata and Dhirubhai Ambani.
But you can be first YOU, for yourself
at least. Think about it...
As I say- A chance lost is a change lost...
Really good man. I got goosebumps while reading this. During your exam time, this is best that you can get to read.
