mmmmhhmmmm..........
i define patience as "having the sanity to wait till the right time comes"....
an 8 letter word with such a deep meaning attached to it..
i think of the times when i've been patient enough....and i can't even remembr a second of patience in my life untill a few months back.....
was i patient enough when i had to sit for the last lecture in my school waiting for the bell to ring so that i could rush back home....??
was i patient enough when i had to wait for the clock to go past 4pm so that i could run out of my house and play.....??
no, not at all.....this is one quality that i have may be lacked since my childhood days..i never had
the patience to wait for the right time to come..
i always believed that,"the right time is the time when u want to do things or the time when u want the things to go your way"....
was i patient enough when i broke up with my 1st gf.....??i never had the patience to give enough time to our relationship to blossom....
was i patient enough when i desperately tried to have another gf....??
No, not at all....perahaps this is the sole reson why i've not had a gf since i broke up with my 1st.....
mmmmhmmmm.....
so, WHEN DOES THE RIGHT TIME COME????
A big question..........
a question which has no right answer....
many people say that the right time will come on its own.....
but isn't it a vague answer??
well i can certainly try and answer this question....
"The right time comes when you least expect the things to go your way"....
i know many of you would disagree to my point of view..you ll say that it is a vague statement..
but i am saying this on the basis of 2,3 experiences which i've had in the past 6 months or so..
i can definitly share one of them with you guyz.....
mmmhmmmm.....
for your information i have been a mangament student for the past two years of my life.....
and thanks to the recession in the lovely globalized economies round the world we had a horrendous time this year during our placement season.....
at one time it seemed we'll have to place ourselves in our own non existent firms....
one thing was foe sure this year.....we won't have 100% placements this year.....
at one point of time i had lost it all.....i was under a lot of mental stress....
day by day i was goin insane.....man even now when i think of those times i get a cold feet.....
that was the time when i heard this 8 letter word "PATIENCE" from one of my seniors....
so the very next day i tried waiting for the right time to come hoping that it would come soon....
and i would get the placement bumps from my friends......i was tired of giving bumps to my other batchmates.....
days passed by and with them my expectations of getting placed became lesser and lesser....
and i had learnt to live that way (under stress)..
Many a times the stress was getting better of me....
it was at the time when i expected the least, that things started going my way....
All of a sudden i started getting chances and finally i converted one of 'em.....
I got the placement bumps from my friends and perhaps i was the happiest person on earth that day......
that was the day when i learnt the true and the hidden meaning of this 8 letter word "PATIENCE"...
If i had the patience to wait for the right time, perhaps i could have avoided all that ----in mental stress that i went through those 3 past months.....
perhaps i could have utilised my time in a better way......
and yeah.....if i remain patient enough,
perhaps ill soon have anodr gf....:)
but one thing is for sure my friends..
it took me 22 long years to understand the hidden meaning of "PATIENCE"....
and trust me its never too late.....
i'am now a more patient guy than ever....
mmmmhhhhmmmmm........
I now Know that
"PATIENCE IS THE KEY" to any lock which u want to unlock......
The menaing of patience is xpressed in a vry true n logical way.The entire write up was very real,and the experience mentioned in the write up goes well.......
ReplyDeleteOne thing is for sure I was definitely not the senior who told you the word patience, coz I lack it myself :) jokes apart...nicely written...as they say, experience is the best teacher
ReplyDeletehehe..u r wrong sir....that senior was u..
ReplyDeletethanx for appreciatng my effort sir....
Hi, liked your writing style. quite informal, although a bit preaching at times. I realised that you have grossly confused 'patience' with 'realistic expectations'. The idea of having realistic , logical and cogent expectations makes us not patient but more accmodating and waiting for the right moment. As a management student, looking at all the financial crisis, you should have predicted the scenario in a much better manner than the other less educated and knowledgeable people and should have made more realistic expectations. When you realised that at such financially difficult times, you need to wait for the right moment, you waited. So I ask, where does the word patience come here? Is it not all about 'deliberate waiting'?Patience comes from our own initiatives and choices, however this situation of yours lacks your say and choice anyways. Regards Shubha
ReplyDeletehi shubha
ReplyDeletethanx for liking my style first of all....
u r right when u say that as a management student i should have predicted the scenario in a much better manner than the other less educated....
but lemme tell u that the effect of that financial crisis in india came much earlier than my expectations....may be i was wrong..but then even the greatest of the financial analysts and the greatest of the intellectual people present in cos like lehman brothers,merril lynch and even the intellectuals sitting in the us govt office dint realize the severeness of the financial crisis..and trust me the us govt. officials are still not sure as to where this financial crisis will lead them..perhaps that is why they are not able to prevent cos like GM and washington mutual from going bankrupt....
and about the word patience..well we didn't have 100% placements this year....about 20 students failed to get placed....and this number is much less than the expectations which we had a few months back..we had thought of a much bigger number than this..the word patience comes because i did not sit in each and every company that came to our campus....i still made choices in the profile and as well as the package....had i lost my patience,probably i would have sit for a profile not suited to me and probably i would not have been in obc today.....probably i would have been in some company at a profile and package which would have led to dissatisfaction.....so it was my patience and as i said the sanity to wait for the right time and the right companies that brought me to a place like obc.....i hope that this answers your question..looking forward to more such comments from you....
thank you....
