A journey...

I was kind of reserve guy, did not roam much. My current job’s profile is contrast to what I was to be. Travelling is a necessary part of my job profile. Even though there are both pros and cons for travelling, I started loving it. Difficulty, once it become familiar, vanishes.
Journeys are filled up with many exciting experiences, half of it covers with day dreams. The most painful situation is when train was late by 12 hours. Whom to blame? Cursing on faith is what we do. And at last convert it into smile and share with friends. One benefit out of 12 hour late is, at least we have a story to tell to our friends. Looking outside the window and dueling with dreams is what I often do while travelling. Apart from it, looking the small world existing inside the train is also a wonderful thing to see and enjoy. The loud sound of “chai and coffee” makes the place lively. If a newly born baby travel in Indian train, the first word comes out from his mouth would be “chai lelo chai”, not mama and papa.

Every place has its own uniqueness. Uniqueness is nature’s law. What to do? We have to live in uniqueness. Uniqueness is the only thing that is not unique. Our wondering mind starts roaming very fast, thousands of new pictures captured. Many got erased and many saved. With lots of question and predicted answers, life goes on. New place become old place. New stories create and old stories kept in memory folder. And I keep travelling to new places and new situations.

Even though the purpose of the journey is to reach the defined destination, real meaning of travelling lies in the journey. There is fear due to newness, worry because of unknown. It is natural, it is okay to fear, and it is okay to worry because happiness lies next to fear and worry. I know where I am going but I do not know where exactly my destination lies. Auto driver can only assist me; it is I who has to decide where I am going exactly. World is so big, too many confusions, every road looks alike. My trust towards Indian railway, bus driver and auto driver helps me to reach my destination. Every journey consists of both pains and happiness. The importance is, in what I give more emphasis, happiness or pains. I feel pain when I start thinking of more about obstacles rather than the beauties of journey. Problem in journey never ends and we find more if we start searching it. What we get is what we searched. When train is late by 12 hours we were still calm with the hope that we will reach definitely. What would happen if we knew we cannot reach our destination? The belief and trust we possess make us calm, that is where our patience work and build our self confidence.
Journey of life is not much different from travelling to new places.

A simple thought!!!

I can’t sit idle, idleness is not my profession. Life is like bicycle, the day I stop moving life will take rest forever. The question is where I am moving and where I want to go. Everything changes with time, so is it right thing to predict my future? I am born unknown, how can I identify where I am strong at. But the place where I have interest I would be good at that. People run behind the opportunity, some got through hard work and some through the ladder kept by his parent’s hard work. The only difference is the opportunity and environment where they born. The most difficult question is how can I analyse my SWOT?
There are thousands of youth who are in career dilemma, especially those who completed MBA. Desires of the people cannot be fulfilled, it can be controlled but. The lack of determination shows the confidence level. Why did I choose marketing, is it because I thought I would get better salary? So money was the reason for taking that decision but am I happy with the decision I had taken. I am interested with human science, the behaviour related subjects, and even though my core subject is marketing I know more about human resource. There is something inside us who is more knowledgeable than us, I mean no superstitious word, what I mean is the unconscious mind we possess that is more intelligent than us. We are living in an incomplete world, the complete information we cannot possess. Our foundation is made on beliefs that was implant on us when we born to this world, we are like a computer who has little more freedom than the man made computer. This incomplete information we posses forced us to take decision, take the either way but not both.
The most difficult thing in life is to take right decision. And the second most difficult is to change wrong decision to right one. How we take decision? How some people are very good in taking right decision? What are the characteristics they posses? What kind of behaviour they posses and what an all supporting factor they got?
They are visionary people. They do not fear from the surrounding. They are committed to what they want. They are open minded but cannot change their mind so easily, means they are difficult people. Their confidence level is so high that big storms of life cannot shake their foundation. They are not behind short term pleasure they work for tomorrow and they are self motivated people who dare to change the game if they are found to be in wrong place. They do not live in fear and they are highly internal locus of control. They believe in themselves. Most importantly they were not considered as good decision maker until they reached their goal.
