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!
