Am Wrong Yet Again!!!

Am Wrong Yet Again!!!

 

Those words still ring in my ears. It’s been a long time since I’m listening to these words, “work hard for today and tomorrow will be easier and simpler…” These words came strong at me, first in my tenth standard, where all my teachers and even my parents use to say get through the tenth standard with good marks and you can get into a very good college for class XI and XII and everything there is going to be easy. Even I believed so and tried to do it. But the words remained the same even in my intermediate college. Then all of them repeated it, in a slightly different terminology. Work hard in your intermediate and you’ll get admitted into a reputed graduation college and then you can relax, as the college will take care of putting you into a job. Yes, I trusted them once again. Not to compare to anyone but I worked hard as much as I can, at times in my intermediate and got into one of the good colleges for my graduation. Thereafter, the dialogue has again been changed as my education standard did. Then it stated, “Work hard in you engineering then you will get placed into a good company which will pay you in good amounts, then you can enjoy the life of spending money at your will.” But I didn’t trust these lines as much as I did in my schooling and my intermediate. But I tried to work hard at times but only when it was most required.

Yeah! With those things, I have learnt all through my academic career, I fetched a job in one of the reputed companies. Then again the words changed but the sense remained the same. It says, “Work hard for the growth of your firm and in turn your own growth, then you can enjoy life, dictating terms to others.” This time, I totally ruled the statement out. I realized from my experience that I have to work hard on any day that’s called today. The concept of working hard and facing challenges comes with every today, we wake in. So, I generalized the statement for myself as,

“We have to work hard on every today for a better tomorrow. But do remember that tomorrow never comes and today alone is eternal.”

With a belief in this statement, I came into this company thinking that I have to work hard on each today. But I was proved wrong yet again. I’m absolutely freed right now and also in a position to be able to pen down all the crazy stuff like this, on a paper and in a blog;-).
