Finally my papa's CISM results were announced and guess what, he had failed scoring less marks... But wait that's not the thing which i want to tell, my dad woke up at 8AM that day being a Friday, his weekly off, my mom was already up and was sipping her cup of morning milk..
My dad was chatting with pradeep uncle for sometime and then he came to my mom and told " Today prepare some sweet as i am very happy and want to celebrate this day", my mom was confused and asked the reason, for which dad told 'I failed in my CISM exams and i want to celebrate that... Why should we celebrate only when we pass, we can celebrate even when we fail, whether it is exam or life, it is all in our attitude and the way we see things....
My mom as usual smiled and agreed with my dad and prepared him a cup of tea, and they both were engrossed in chatting about general things when dad told mom see life needs to be balanced always, its in our attitude, for example it is like this 'you are walking on a rope and towards your right is only hard rock and to the left there is a big water source, Either side you fall it is dangerous, so it is better to be balanced, neutral and walk on the rope, my mom started scratching her head as she didn't understand the point my dad was making.
Then dad had to explain in detail, in life whether happiness or sadness we need to take it in a balanced way, no need to get over excited during happy times and no need to complain during sad times, just be balanced during all times, accept things as it is and keep things simple, then life will automatically be beautiful and wonderful always, as with everything its easier said than done, so we should take small steps towards achieving this balanced attitude. Even better if we can stop choosing anything in life....
And the wonderful thing about having this kind of balanced or neutral attitude is that, it is contagious and rubs to all people close to us friends, families, extended relatives etc and then when all near to us have this attitude than no one will overtly praise us and neither overtly criticize us and this way we as individuals in the corners of our mind, wont secretly seek compliments to come our way to be happy and neither will we get hurt during criticism. When we see people, we label them good or bad or etc etc,hence stop labeling and judging, Just see then as they are.
We always blame others but never look at ourselves. good or bad, do's and don'ts is best known as follows: Would we like if anyone thinks, says or does something that hurts us or causes us pain or misery ?, if yes then its bad and we should not do it to others, cause if I don't like it or feel nice about it how will others like it or feel nice about it?
When everyone has this attitude we will change, albeit slowly one step at a time.
And dad always says chase attitude, then excellence will come and success will follow.
Well I hope and will work towards having this attitude while I grow up...
