LESSON OF LIFE

-

I am a media student someone who loves to interact, socialise, share news, ideas, informatio­n, and knowledge with the world. But I am not tech-savvy. I am still contented with what I know and use to the fullest of my abilities.

Today majority of us rant and over issues in this era that are not going to make a difference. They only complain, hunt for errors, and keep asking for more living in their cocoon. Instead of fixing the problem and thanking ourselves, thanking others, they go out of their way in pinching and poking. It’s the time most of us need more depth, energy, and fire living in today’s era be it in our personal or career life. The funny thing is, these people would complain and do nothing about it. They’ll still be in the same situation a year later! It’s either they fumble and mumble to find a solution to their problem, or they don’t really mind about the problem at all and leave it for others to do their homework.

Now that gratitude day is around the corner there are millions of people toiling in day and night to make this world a beter place and this is the time to thank them and remember all those who are doing their bit. Your Contributi­on maters and whatever task you do there is a reward for it. Life is too short for complainin­g. It’s time to spend our life doing what we really want to do and be happy with what we have. True, we have our commitment­s and responsibi­lities, so making a change can be quite challengin­g at times.

However, running and trying to get ahead does not qualify in many of us. But I always believe that we control our own fate and we build our own happiness. Complainin­g does not fix things. “Action Does”.

There are people in this world who are going through misery in life. Some families are batling to live a decent life with many pifalls. Let it be an office boy, cleaner, delivery boy, security staff, employees, managers, directors, doctors, nurses, teachers’ laborers, sweeper our onus as a society is to thank them and praise them for all their hard work, resilience, and determinat­ion.
