Well friends, just to set the perspective right, this blog is not a physics article but surely based on great Einstein's theory of relativity. Considering that I am from banking background, most of my friends (readers) would be from a commerce background (unlike me, 'cause I am a Science graduate!) hence the disclaimer.
Today, I stepped out of my home at 6am for travelling to Chandigarh for some official work.While on the way this thought came into my mind. For eg. if you are in a rush to reach office it is most likely that you would find a lot of traffic on the road. However, the other day if you have relatively less urgency the roads seemed to be clearer and you reach way ahead of normal time. To put it in perspective, the difference in these 2 situations would be around 10 minutes. The point I am making here is that it is not always the outside situation which affects us but moreso the way we react to it. The example I gave would be true for most of you reading this. While we discuss this in hindsight, those 10 minutes seem like years for us then. Such stress creates a lot of negative energy which erodes our efficiency and focus. Whatever has to happen will happen, but the best I can do is to do whatever best I can to prevent such a scenario. Like in this case, rather than praying for clear traffic, I should rather leave for my destination with some additional time in hand. There's no harm in reaching 10 minutes earlier, I guess.
It is very important to take a break from the regular routine and understand this phenomenon while it is still underway.
I am not sure how many of you would have undergone this feeling of looking back in time and realising that a lot of the unpleasant / unhappy / disturbing times of our lives were infact the most important shaping moments of our lives. The risk of moving into the unknown, the defeat and the fall , the struggle and most importantly the will to win. I quote the most apt quotation " it is not in falling that we fail, but in not trying to rise.". Each experience exposes us to our weaknesses and strengths. Moving back to the theory of relativity, a lot of times we feel helpless or in a state of despair and expect somebody to come and help us. The truth is that if there is somebody who would come to help us, it is we ourselves. We need to believe in our own abilities and determination to wade ourselves out of difficult times. History proves that not all would survive the pressure and the make themselves champions. The most important key, according to me, is to keep moving ahead and ensure that even though we fail in our attempts numerous times, we must not fail to attempt again.
While times would keep changing, it is we who have to have to hold on to our nerves and just believe in ourselves in totallity and not relatively to the situation.
Do share your views on this....
P.S- I did manage to reach the destination on time ! :)

Love your blogs dude...
ReplyDeleteThis is true ""Each experience exposes us to our weaknesses and strengths""
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of another theory worth some thought - theory of action and reaction - more so when people say, 'do your best always even if the person in front is hurting you, think positively about the situation as it has some good in it for you' - Gautam Buddha's principle I guess - but when I look around - people who are bad to you seem to be having all the fun - when does the reaction to their actions come? Or are we simply fooling ourselves - not reacting and letting go whereas we could have taught them a lesson for the hurt they gave us?
ReplyDeleteWhat say Bhupesh?
