Time to give it back


It’s Germany unification day, indeed a public holiday is a nice way to start the week. So it makes a right time to quench all my favourite things to do, which I hardly find time during my work days. 

In life there are some lessons and incidents that pave a way to bring light to a new dimension of you. These incidents certainly challenge you to work better, unwrap your hidden skill and enable you to position you in a desired place of prosperity, if not all at least a few of them do.

One of such incidents that happened was during my school days. It was the time I moved to DonBosco for my higher secondary education, besides being a newbie to the school, I found myself as a naïve town body among the strange wizards in the classroom. Each of the individual is exceptionally good at one of their favourites; let it be a subject or a sport.  My favourite subject was being mathematics right from my early classes, was now getting a slight lurid. All thanks to my maths teacher, this tall, crazy looking man, who used to talk more of his past pupils than calculus & Algebra! Often regret his position in the school, whenever he tells about how well his past students are earning now. Honestly this man planted a strong anxiety deep in me (among us), apparently not in mathematics. In our leisure quarter of our class lecture, he used to either talk about someone who is extremely good and now working in United States making huge bucks or just talk about some wastrel that hated school. But he made a point; specially whenever he talks about the former, he made me inspired with those seniors for their special qualities, their capability to prove that they are different from the rest of the crowd, by not only earning big dollars but also they were successful.

People like them do really set the fire in me to fix my dreams and accelerate towards it. Though they appear to de-motivate us, they give us a chance to avenge their ideas by our positive attitude.  It might appear silly, but I wanted this daft mathematics teacher to tell about my story to my fellow juniors. I am not sure if someone can really get inspired by it, but I want to give back to my teacher that I can do that. May be there are many people who are from a similar economical and social background like mine, might get a confidence that they can really break the ice. 

At every phase of my life there are such persons, who just pop in and be the reason for my next segment of my professional and personal journey. Sometime they come up very soft and polite, elsewhere in a rough way as boorish way as possible. Nevertheless, I take the lesson from each of these occasions and I try my best to be as different as possible and stay away from the rest of the crowd. 

After all its time to give back and move on. I am happy to be born with B+, Be positive!
