Adversity: a force to make you more successfull! an example:

Today while on my way to the office , I met a person who I have seen many times in my office, had noticed his ordeal while he walks, I got a chance to have a conversation with this guy who’s apparently jolly and sends positive vibes always unlike many others who are mostly dull or worried about something or the other, despite all the fitness they got.

So coming back to the point, about this guy, I came to know he was a Project Manager who has 3-4 years work experience in US with a couple compnaies, prsently in Singapore with HCL and will probably join other here if project offshores, mahn!! very choosy isnt it!, atleast no less choosy than me when it comes to continuing in a job, I mean in no way he had a different career outlook than mine or most of us as if his disability didn’t exist for him. After the meeting I recalled a popular phrase “if life throws lemons at you, learn to make lemonade” , probably his was one of the fittest examples.

To me personally one question bothers a lot, don’t know about others, that what if I was not born with full ability mental or physical, what if tomorrow something happens and I am not the same mentally or physically, life is uncertain and you definitely cannot predict future plus these insurance companies keep reminding you of that in one or more creative ways still pretty decently though, the reality could be worse or far worse, now the fact is World will definitely be different towards you, all those friends and relatives around you may disappear or most of them will. World (this material world) will treat you differently. How are you going to handle it or even how are the people in such situation handling it?

As it is we have developed mounting Ego’s , a small jerk on our ego keeps us depressed whole day or weeks in many cases, god knows what is the situation with them or might be with us, when you loose even last single attention you are getting today….it might scare but I got my lesson meeting this guy who I referred above.

Your world is because of you, you are the centroid, and literally if know making lemonade nuthng at all will stop you, world is big, opportunities are many, only thing you would need is the trust on yourself and emotional toughness, you’ll strike back at life with more power, as I said this guy is a project manager and not more than 33 I guess, seems pretty young, this reason of young appearance could be his healthy optimistic and jolly nature too. The point is he is young contrary to many fit! People who are stagnant in their careers.

I heard a famous philosopher who was once quoting great doctor/psychotherapist: ‘Lelon’ a great poet who had usually short legs, he said :

“ how does the length of the legs matter, feet in anycase will touch ground if you’re standing on the ground! Rather short feet will make you sit on the chair! Lelon sat on the highest of the chairs…. “
Meaning of “short feet will make you sit on the chair” : any one having long legs wont be sitting on the chair since his foots will remain on ground only

The point is: it’s the opposite force that pushes you to make the invert journey and there actually are endless such example one my favorite is of Steve jobs (Apple computers: CEO) , see below vedio for further insight..
