Be brave to say a Goodbye...!!!

Today I write this blog with mixed emotions. This is a learning and that's the reason I am writing it down.
When we move out from our native place in search of living and start a new life in a new city, the people we meet have a great impact on our lives. It matters a lot how we interact and jell up with the crowd. The same happened with me when I moved to Bangalore. The first of many people I met were the one's from the place I started working. Being in IT industry you don't expect people to be very helpful to you and neither did I expect that. Initial days were very tough, especially when you have no clue of the local language. It took some 2 months to make friends or at least start talking to people and make them realize your presence.
You may have heard life is cruel, Yes, It is cruel as times. But its worth it.
Trying to understand the people around you is one of the most difficult tasks. When you have no freaking idea what people on the table are talking because you don't understand the language, then yes life seems cruel.

Anyways, finally my communication started with people and I made a few friends. Life came on track after some 6 months. Work is enjoyed when people you work with are fine and so happened with me. I worked with some decent people.

Today, when I bid farewell to the organization, I was excited about my new endeavor, but also felt a moment where I realized I wont be coming back to this place and work with my same team, have lunch with my buddies. Moving on is important. But what matters is how gracefully you move on.

Profession - Joy Or Stress???

The most commonly asked Question “What do you do??” 

Some of us are happy to answer it and some of us answer it but not that happily.

Our profession and career play a vital role in our life. Infact, this is what somewhat becomes our identity. Our social profiles on Facebook and Twitter also contains at least a tagline of our careers leave alone the whole big professional profile on LinkedIn.

Whatever we do in lives for our living is definately important to build as an individual.

But do we chose our career correctly? Are we all happy with our professions or sometimes we do feel that I would have done better in some other. 

Atleast, I do feel this. Being an IT professional, a software developer to be more precise, I do sometimes feel that I would have done better if I would have chosen my career differently.

Recently, I meet someone who asked me “Do you belong to software industry?” I replied “Yes”. But there was something that made my voice a bit unusual. That guy owns a quite well-known designer clothes shop. He was happy and excited when he heard my reply but also showed his discontentment as being a business man he could spare good time for his friends. Soon a discussion started between my group and this guy which was nothing else but each trying to point the cons of their jobs. None of us were speaking of positive things. This made me wonder that do we justify ourselves when we chose our career.

Well, this is just a small incidence but most of face the same situations. We are never content with what we do. But on the other hand, I even have friends who just love their work because it is not only their job but also their hobby and their passion. We can always see the difference when we meet such people. When passion becomes the source of earning it makes us work double hard and also the input at any time is always at its best. 

You happiness some what depends on our professions because we spend nearly more than half day working and if the work is stressful then it surely affects the other time we have with family and friends. We all may not be able to make our passion as career but we can surely spend some time with it. After all, it somehow makes us happy and makes us what we actually are.

Think Big... Think Positive...!!!

“The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.” 

― Albert Einstein

How the incidents in our life affect us… I feel this when I look back today. 

Sometimes the decisions we take make us travel the less travelled road. We are alone on that path but its only our faith that gives us the courage to move ahead. 

“The Road less Travelled” was something I always heard and read about but soon I felt I saw it too. To come out of comfort zone and live in a completely unknown world is something that we all fear at some point but believe me its worth it. It teaches you so much about yourself and how the world is. You socialise with different type of people, go around and see a whole different YOU. A newer and improved version of oneself is discovered. And moreover, the courage, strength, confidence and all something that is just amazing.

Every step in life is to remove the negativity and embrace the positively. Each decision we take teaches us something or the other. We all have a new set of experiences with every new move we take in life. 

This all may just look like a thought process but this though process is something that change the life of many around us. The way we perceive things is all a matter of thoughts. To nurture our thoughts is our responsibility and they make us take decisions which affects our life.

The way we take life and the lessons of life depends only on our thinking and to change it for good we just need to change our thinking.

I Will Win Not Immediately But Definitely...!!!

Inspiring yourself and staying motivated is too important.

A positive attitude is something that can only help you live life differently from what others may do. Difficulties and hard times are just there to test our patience. Give your best shot to whatever you do.. and you will in the end emerge a winner with flying colours…!!!!
