Everyday is different and we all have reasons to feel elated and let down. It is natural to expect results after hard work and long nights and when the pay back isn’t great, hopes, expectations, optimism get dumped in the fire. All of us have ambitions in life to grow, holder fancy titles, gather more responsibilities, and financially well compensated.
Before I go on with the lecture, Chennai weather has been awesome for the last couple of days. We had some showers and the temperature is under 90 deg F. Hope this continues….
A friend of mine from the previous work place called up this morning. He was very much upset with recent annual review. He was upset even during his last review and I made him look at his blind spots. But this time he sounded absolutely distraught and negative. I don’t know the other side of the coin and hence stay away from passing a judgment.
We can fight for a raise and fancier title and more perks. Human psyche is that we will soon feel uncomfortable at that level and want to get to the next. There is no end to dreams, and wish lists.
The previous generation was really patient and people retired as clerks and not everyone retired as CEO’s and CFO’s. There were lots of smile than frown. What is happening to this generation?
Have we lost patience to wait for the payback day?
Are we over ambitious?
Do we crib about anything and everything?
Have we become too greedy to even kill the golden goose?
What is making us live this dynamic dynamite lifestyle?
Has life become a scratch lottery?
I definitely don’t have answers to these questions. I have also been a part of this crib club, but now changing my ideas and expectations.
My philosophy….. “What is due will come to you, and in the kingdom of God none goes unrewarded for their efforts. In the end it is all between you and God. He sits across from us and our life review goes on…..”
