Sometimes, I feel "On The Way With Analogs" posts are pseudo - calendar information, because most of my post starts as - two days to weekend, happy monday, three days to weekend... LOL
Well for today, it is MONDAY...lol ! and it is beautiful ! I was in Delhi to my parents(Yes, I moved to Bangalore) enjoyed my birthday week ![which just got finished - reality check]
Anyways, today's post is ultra - simple ! Seriously, just a click and we all can realize its potential and impact on ourselves and others around. How ? Let us seeee rather read or both !!!!
Let me put one of my own experience first !
Few years back, I was part of a week long workshop for young leaders. It was full of different interactive sessions with others and self as well. In that, one exercise started as - among all people seated, those seated towards right had to get up, move to the other side and sit. Vice versa for all seated on left. We all nodded. As our instructor announces "change" we all did as per the instruction. Some, simply crawled. Some, moved. Some got up, stretched, went to the other side, sat. I got up, wore my cardigan while walking to the other side and sat ! LOL.(It was winter yaar)
Then, our instructor asked us : did you realize, what you all just did and how you did ! You did a 4 second job in 20 seconds. This sentence was enough for all of us to realize it. He gave us another chance. This time we completed in 7 sec. In another chance, we did in 4 second. Next, he challenged us to do the same in 2 second. We all planned, sat in a zig zag manner and as he shouted "change" we did. And, yes we won the challenge. We broke our own record! We felt awesome ! Seriously, awesome.
Though, it was just a minor activity but shared an enormously valuable of Life !
It was not just about being fast, it was not just about doing what was told and it was not just being the best. It was more of about to let your creativity flow catalyzing passion and thus leading to fulfillment of your desire in the best possible way be it time, precision or any other magnitude !
Do you remember when you used to plan for the exam to be held after three months. How you planned. And, the best thing you remember about it is- that you studied A to Z in last three days. Do, you realize how you ended up doing three month planning in three days efforts. Why ? Simply because your creativity was blocked by fear thus not being catalyzed by passion[YES, I love chemistry; lol]
And, do you remember the time when you used to play for 'n' number of hours, give your best and still not tired ![there was no fear, can you remember any]
Suppose, we mix both- You plan up your exam studies, and think about, in which best way you will be able to extract the concept. What is the awesome thing about that subject? What will happen if you will give your best efforts? How you can make that subject more fun? What will happen if you give your own creative edge to it?
Can you think, how the perception will wonderfully change. And, do you think you will feel bored ! Nah. It is worth a try! What say !
And, not just for studies, but work, job, relationships or any walks of life be it to just stand walk and sit at other place.
So, that's all guys for the week start...Food for thought.....Hey, can you put it in better words or you think something is to be added or missing or unnecessary. Feel free to comment !
And yes, have a happy week !
