It's Saturday and I have been with my computer almost whole day, as usual. What is not usual is I read it lot today- a lot in the sense that I have almost given up my studies, as if I have announced my retirement from it. Days are gone by that you like to read books in hard-copies, and it is really difficult to concentrate on soft copies provided you have many things to distract: facebook, chat, googles and you-tubes are few to name.
Today, I read more than 5 articles on Muttiah Muralitharan's retirement from international cricket. His career is one of the inspiring aspect who despite of many disappointment of cheating allegations reached the apex of record all with sweet smile. What I also found him is to be a great personality, who helped the Tsunami victims to raise their life, inspired his opponents, and most importantly never hesitated to go for tests required to confirm prove or disprove his allegations. What I learned from him is great personality always rely on their strength and don't care about unnecessary things. Focus is the crux of success.
I have been hearing the focus word for sometime now since I have joined the current office. Great Inspirational life of my bosses always inspires me to work hard and focus in the path I want to choose. I am learning it and surely need to learn it fast to live in this competitive world. I have seen many of my friends to be frustrated for not getting proper job after the study, while many have already flown away for higher studies. The later is the part of life, while the former is really irritating for the reason you have certificates to show but no one to see it. It's something like having lots of money but nothing to buy with. For a brief period of time, I have also gone through this phase, but the opportunity I have got since last year is majestic, which I need to exploit. After one year of review, I find myself in the position from where I can go forward but conditions apply.
Undoubtedly, the great learning of my life comes from my family. I am really proud of my father, who despite many lows in his life brought us into this stage. There were torments, there were nightmares and there were lots of hopes on the shoulder of one man who stood out to the perfection. He is the perfect example that great personalities are simple yet stronger and genuine in their attitude.
I have found very genius and real teachers in my life. They have been an exemplary role models for my future. Some are world popular for their scholarly contribution while others are giving birth to those genius minds. Yes, I don't disagree, some teachers were just teachers but as I remember only the positive things; the memories of cheater teachers have already faded away.
Finally, to conclude, as I dream to be come in the category of great lives; I need to integrate those learning and stand out for finding my uniqueness. I know the day is not far if I will be able to do so. Best of luck for me :)
