How dare you forget him?

Whenever you were in darkness, he spread light for you...


You thought life has become hopeless, he showed you a ray of hope...


You were dull and gloomy, he made life bright for you...


You were cold with what happened to you, he gave you the warmth...


Even if he sank in the nights, he woke up for you early next morning...

You were wet with tears, he made a beautiful rainbow for you...


And now it's your turn. How dare you forget him? Repay him for all the energy and vibrancy he gave you. How can you turn your backs to him? Repay him by removing the distances between you and him. Go closer to him and thank him for everything. Reach out to him....

All you need to do is THINK BEYOND THE HORIZON!!!

Do not build relationships, plant them.


"In life each person can take on of the two attitudes: to build or to plant. The builders might take years over their tasks, but one day, when they finish , they're hemmed in by their own walls. Life looses it's meaning when the building stops. Then there are those who plant. They endure storms and all the many vicissitudes of the seasons, and they rarely rest. But, unlike a building, a garden never stops growing. While it requires the gardener's constant attention, it also allows life for the gardener to be a great adventure.

Gardeners always recognize each other, because they know that in the history of each plant lies the growth of the whole world" - Paulo Coelho in his book Brida.

A zebra crossing career for confused souls

He was born confused in life. He was never clear about what he wanted. He kept changing his goals. He felt he was too much gifted in life. He was too talented in many aspects. Be it his soulful dance or acting skills, his extremely professional way of management, his charm to influence people at marketing, his public speaking skills to give powerful seminars or his simple yet powerful business approach. Often he thought he was the most fortunate person to have these skills but then it were these extraordinary skills which made him more confused in life. Which path to choose? What to follow in his career? He was afraid if he took the wrong path, he was scared of making a wrong choice. He couldn't commit himself to any of the paths because of the fear that his other talents might go waste. He wanted to follow all possible paths and ended up following none. He kept finding the answers for almost six long years until one fine morning ......

He was lost in his thoughts staring at the zebra crossing through the window in front of him, he could see the white broad series of lines trying to speak something. They wanted to help him and solve his problem. But they never spoke, they only shone under the bright sunlight and their silence revealed a lot about them. As he could observe, the bright zebra crossing on the main road had a job to signal the vehicles about a junction. It told the vehicles where they could make a turn without disturbing rest of the traffic. It helped different vehicles driving in from different directions to regulate themselves. But, at times, not very often, it took a break and signaled all the vehicles to stop and this time it helped the pedestrians to cross the road. It was successful in helping the vehicles as well as the pedestrians to move around with perfect synchronization. The zebra crossing was gifted with a powerful career which it shared with him today. And thus he realized the power of a zebra crossing career!

It is not necessary that when we choose one path in life, we need to sacrifice the other. Sometimes, we are lucky enough to make both the paths meet at a crossroad. He could use his multiple talents in the same career. He could be a technology manager and also use his public speaking skills to give a motivational seminar to his team. He could use his marketing skills and his simple yet powerful business approach to market the latest technologies to his clients. And at times, not very often, he could dance in the party, at the cultural fest, for the tv show or just for himself!

So for all those who are confused in life about your career, find out your top skills/talents for which you would like to receive money and make yours the zebra crossing career. Overcome your fear of failure, after all the life is too big to experience multiple careers.
