Diary Entry: Learning from People around Us

Today I was at Mount Carmel College, Bangalore for a event. I could see all kinds of girls dressed in all kinds of dresses talking random shit showing unnecessary attitude. There was this old man, really old and had some problem as he was unable to walk straight. It looked like his whole body was shaking whenever he moved. His job was to pick-up litter all around the college. In his condition I would it was more than tiring and really difficult. I watched him for around 6 hours while I was there. I didn't any girl giving him any respect or anything to eat, instead they would increase his work more by throwing the garbage randomly anywhere.

But this man relentlessly went on doing his work, all 6 hours while I was there. I did not see him rest for even 5 minutes. After watching him for around 5 hours I was beginning to think that people complain about their jobs but this man, I did not even see a frown on his face all this while. He kept ever-smiling and happy to everyone who he saw.

Then at around 3o'clock this guy from Pizza-Hut stall picked up a pizza box for which he had paid from his own pocket and gave it to the old man free of cost. I was amazed as well as ashamed that I could not think of doing this. I felt respect from my heart for the Guy and was happy for the old man. I realized that everyone in this world is not negligent.

I learned that the people around us are really like teachers to us. We just have to observant and accepting to learn things from them. The old man taught me never to complain about anything and keep a smiling face. The guy from Pizza Hut taught me to be generous and kind to everyone without discrimination.

Respect or money, Which is important?

“A person should not run after money in life, it should be respect he must look for and try his hardest. Money will come eventually.” This was a statement said to me by one of my close friends. But is it really so, I wonder sometimes. In this era of materialistic life and money-minded people, can respect be earned if you don’t have money? I personally think otherwise. I have found through my experiences and by watching others lives, that when we have money, we get respect. And even if you earned good respect while you had money, once it’s gone, your earned respect will also start to fade away from people’s hearts. You would wonder why I would say this. So let me give you an example. One of my acquaintances, a very good guy by nature and character, worked in a firm. He earned enough to make his life comfortable. In his 8 months of working, and a year since I have known him, whenever a friend of his needed some help from him he would run to his aid. Be it money, time or his a...

Just when I thought I got it...

Hey world, I woke up this morning to a shrill note of my mum's voice trying to tell me how much work has to be done by 7.30. Have you ever got that feeling that you are just not ready to get up yet? That it's too soon to get out of bed. Well, I had that same feeling, but I had to get up and iron dad's clothes for office. I so wanted to go back to sleep after I was done, but I knew that mum would just do the same thing as soon as I am asleep. So, I brushed my teeth, ate breakfast and with staggering steps got to my bed. Now imagine that after a hard nights work you get to sleep on your so nice and warm bed. But your parents are the type that can't see you sleep after 6.00 a.m. (in my case its 5.00 a.m. and I'm not joking). I was awake all night due to my work, and very tired. I tried again 4 times to sleep, every time I was asked to do something or the other. After 6th attempt I got so irritated that I just walked into the bathroom and took a really long show...
