Hi..
This post here, is as narcissistic as it gets. Now this is something which really happened yesterday. So here it goes. It has become a daily ritual that there are a couple of young boys and girls sitting at the reception in our institute filling out their admission forms. I got into a casual conversation with a few of them. They probably assumed that I was there for the same reason, the forms. So they started telling me about their experience of CAT and eventually asked me about mine.
It was then that I told them, I am already studying here and not there to fill out the form. Man, that was the moment to be there. Their eyes became a little bigger, mouth opened a wee bit wider and I could feel the awe in their voices. Damn!! It feels good, to know that people envy you because of what you have accomplished. They believe it's an achievement and they respect you for that.
After five months of being in the institute, surrounded by people who have been self driven all their lives. Listening to them aiming far higher. I had started looking only upwards trying to achieve everything and forgot about looking downwards to appreciate all that I have already got. This had driven me to the point where I had really started questioning the purpose of all the hard work we are putting in. When after working all my life, I seemed to have hardly achieved anything. Thanks to those kids, they seem to immediately have put it all again in perspective.
And yes it felt really really good to see the look of appreciation in their eyes.
