It was one of the days of my engineering vacation (not vacation rather holidays), and I was bored of boredom (literally), I had nothing much to do except watching India 'A' vs West Indies.
One fine evening I was sitting along with my mother in the kitchen and talking about social topics, as such how to put forward yourself to the people who are you concerned with....and blah-blah-blah.......the conversation was going pretty well till my mother asked me two serious questions...for which I didn't had any answer (you can say I felt like dumb!). I was and I am still thinking about about the answer.........
I am writing this blog especially because I want you should also think about these questions on a serious note...they might just be the turning point in your life....
(I am putting forward the questions as situations, for better understanding......)
1st situation:
Imagine two people (say A and B), both equally talented but different characters. A challenged B, on who can win more number of prizes amongst set of five events. B accepted the challenge.
'A', thinking that participating in all five events would increase his chances to in more prizes, thus he registered for all events, so did 'B'.
On the day of events, both A and B began participating for the events.... After some time, both of them realised that they don't have enough stamina to sustain five events.
'A' being an egoistic person didn't wanted to quit any of the events, and he carried on participating in all 5. On contrary 'B' decided to quit 3 events of the 5 in which he was participating, thereby decreasing his chance of winning the challenge.
Now at the time of prize distribution ceremony, 'A' was awarded with nothing while 'B' winning an award for one of his remaining two events.
So what is the conclusion:
Well, I might go with 'B'. Reason being, sometimes you need to put your ego in your pocket, don't go with the ideology, 'The day you quit, the day you die'.... thats all bullshit. I mean, no one is going to remember your character....only your achievements are going to be recorded.....how many of us remembers draws in test cricket ?.....what we remember is the final standings. For what 'B' did(quitting), would have been a 'feeling of loss' for 'A', but for 'B' it was a crucial decision to quit those events to win other. I hope you get the point.
2nd situation:
Again consider two people (say A and B), both equally talented but different characters.
This time around they are performing in a dance contest and they reached finale, both of them danced equally and exceptionally well, this made the judges confused regarding who should win...so they decided to go for a tie breaker....it wasn't a face-off ,instead they decided to opt for a question answer round.
'A' was called on to the stage.................
Judge: Your dace was well choreographed......(and all other craps of talks).
'A' : !@#$%^&*
Judge: Whom did you dance for ?
'A' : Audience !
Judge: Whom would you give credits for your performance?
'A' : Myself.
Judge: Thank you!
Now, 'B' was called on to the stage..................
(Judges asked all the bullshit in the beginning )
Judge: Whom did you dance for ?
'B' :
Myself
!
Judge: Whom would you give credits for your performance?
'B' : My parents, choreographers etc etc.
Judge: Thank you!
Now the question is, imagine yourself as a judge and take a decision on who should win.
If I was a judge,
my opinion for 'A' would be:
Its good that he had danced for audience, but how can he give credits to himself', does he have no respect for his gurus.
for 'B' i would think:
Forget credits... does he don't care for audience or even judges .....how can he say he just dance for himself.
And now for those who are thinking of being diplomatic, let me tell you, you would either have
no value or you are very mean (find the reason yourself, I know you are smart enough !!)
So what you have to say ? Whom would you choose? and Why, of course ?
I think its still a topic to debate.... I don't think I'll ever get a concrete answer to it, ever !!
I would like to know your point of view, so do drop a comment below.
Thanks for reading...I appreciate it.
