Lucky, Brave or Practical ?

I believe that in ideal situation if given a chance every person wants to do a job which matches with his/her personal traits or qualities or attributes. Or simply a profession which gives a sense of satisfaction or just a no-mental-pressure feeling at the end of the day. There are three kinds of people considering this scenario.

1. Lucky : Ones who are fortunate enough to just find themselves at the right place, one fine day when what they say jab-hosh-sambhala they realize that “oh this is exactly what I would have chosen had I been mature enough and knowledgeable to justify my line, though this is different thing that somehow I was put in this line at the first place. Thanks to my parents and relatives who took this decision for me. Moreover otherwise also how could I identify that this is my area of interest, so in any case it was them only who had to decide my limited version of future.” The extension of this limited version depends on their later realisation of their parents’ right or wrong judgement. In the later years this limited version gets extended till the end of the life if their and their parents’ judgements coincide. And if these judgements don’t coincide all things become dependent on something called – courage.’

This courage thing decides the next two kinds of people. One with courage who wish to take accountability of their own actions and one without courage at all.

2. Brave : These are the people who after spending a reasonable period of time with the stream or profession their parents chose for them, start to realize that it’s not something they belong to. It’s not something they wish to do for their whole life, whatever short it might be. It’s not something where they feel happy. It’s not something which becomes a good part of their life despite spending or investing more than 1/3 rd of their day. This realization culminates into a courageous decision. And the courageous decision of breaking free, of giving some serious ears to your heart happens somehow sometime. This sometime is sometimes 2 years, sometimes 5 years, and sometimes 10 years or may be sometimes at the retirement. But whenever it is made it surely is a courageous decision. Because they believe that it is always better to have a personal profession than to be a professional person!

3. Practical : This category people share half part of above mentioned junta. Till realisation. They realize that it’s not their cup of tea, but because of some worldly limitations and constraints they don’t dare to jump over that risk. Risk of numerous things. Risk of losing, maintaining or improving social standing, risk of losing, maintaining or improving living standard, risk of losing, maintaining or improving confidence in oneself and above all and most important, risk of hitting upon a wrong thing once more time. Because the realisation was of where one doesn’t belong to and not of where one belongs to. These people are generally what we refer them as practical ones. Ones, who might not take full responsibility of the decisions they made earlier but they certainly take responsibility of their family, children and other personal and professional commitments. Ones who would rather prefer to be on safer side than to become brave and break stereotype routine and mindset.

First category people are simply god gifted people. Third ones are public gifted. And second ones are just self gifted.

And then there are people who oscillate between second and third and aspire to become second because they believe that things might not be perfect, ideal or best but things would surely be better afterwards!!
