One of
my fellow young boys as he was studying his plus one class, said he wanted to
be an Engineer. I said good keep going and work hard. Few days since then he
was telling his mom that I want to be a Teacher. I was irritated and I interrupted what the
hell makes you say this. Last time you were saying that you wanted to be an
Engineer and now you wanted to be a Teacher. Hopefully after few weeks after
you will not tell you want to be a cowboy I said.
Haha…
He laughed and replied uncle our ambition changes with how well the Teacher
inspires us by teaching. If they teach well we dream high but if they don’t we
change our ambitions. I could make out that either his Mathematics or Physics
teacher was not keeping things right.
I thought for a while and realize he has
statement to make. May be he is right. How can those young futures of Nation
dream high if they do not understand well what is taught in the class. So I
wanted to find a solution for this problem. Indeed very severe problem that
would decide not only his future but of all those who feel the same way. How
would I get an answer for this?
I
thought for a while and got and perfect solution for this problem. And the
answer is COMMITTEMENT. Let me explain you more with a real example,
There
is a friend of mine, indeed a great friend who belonged to a poor family
background. He could not do his secondary education as he had so many family
pressures and also he was not among a brilliant student of a class. He could
not continue with private expenses too. I guess you already got the reason why
he could not do so. He had no choice but to quit and see what he can do to
sustain his life and support his family with all he could. So he came to the
capital city in search of a job. It was his most difficult phase of life but he
luckily found a very small job at the end.
Although
small and less paid job he was happy because he had no other choice than to
take, so he accepted it readily without any hesitation. I used to see him
hardly once a year as I was studying far away in the other part of the country.
Yet whenever I came there I could see him working whole-heartedly and very
committed to his job.
O…I
forgot to tell you what job he had there. He was employed in a book store as a
sale boy. I know I need not have to elaborate more regarding his salary and
other difficulties he had. But yet he worked hard and despite hard situation he
kept on with all his abilities, working for extra hours and meeting his needs.
He worked there for few years and by then he had learned all basic amenities,
he developed all the skills and kept good contacts with all dealers. After that
he mutually resigned form his job and with his little savings that he had, he
opened his own book store and if I am not wrong he sold books worth highest
amount during the book fair for two consecutive years. I guess he will do it
again and again. And toady he looks after all his family and relatives too. He
also owns his own car.
Here my intention is not to make his
enterprise popular. I already told you his is the highest seller for two
consecutive years. He is well
established by now. But I want you to realize how a young man without much
qualification could do so well in life. He didn’t have a good job either. But
how could he bring all these changes in life. I have seen people having good
jobs yet are failures in life. They have nice pay scale but they land up
becoming failures. And others those who have dreams of becoming great
personalities land up becoming failures.
So the very reason is lack of commitment
makes you lose focus in what you do. Once you have a target or a goal you
should set your mind and be committed and if you are truly committed then there
is no question that you won’t achieve them. But commitment doesn’t mean you be
committed for a while and stop after that. You must have it forever with you
and being committed is one of the best qualities for everything you do.
Commitment doesn’t just mean for work you
do or for studies to fulfill your dreams that you and your parents have. It
comes for everything. Even in your day to day life. There are hundreds of
divorce cases happening and the number is increasing each year if we really go
by the figures. Why is this happening? We talk of so many great things in life.
We criticize people we don’t like and debate for no cause in each expect of
life. We give so many reasons why that political party is good or bad. We
justify so much works what others do and tell ways where it could have been
better than the way it is. Likewise we go on and on. But at night when we
return home we quarrel with people within the house. Father with mother,
husband with wife, son and daughter with parents. We have no peace at home. A home
where we expect god reside there. But when you yourself can’t settle problems
within your family how can you expect god to come and be at your altars and
bless us with wealth, happiness and peace. He may be ashamed to be there seeing
you fighting with each other. Although we call ourselves human but most people
have forgotten human values. Most of us have lost humanity. All sorts of
divorces happen when one is not committed with the person whom we have to. It
happens when you start feeling less secure with that person and feel more with
someone else or alone. Problems, misunderstandings come but it all matters the
way you deal with. A parrot can be
trained how to talk but we can’t understand ourselves or make the other person
to understand what is wrong so big issues arise from small wounds that leaves a
deep cut which even if it is treated the scars remains forever. Now my question
here is, what do we get after all this?
Be committed for everything
Cheers.....
