Learnings.......

I was in sixth standard and was good at studies. Most of my focus and time was going into creative thinking and working and balance of the time was for studies. In fact, doing or making some thing new was the passion. When a person will be focused on some thing then there will be distracters also that will try to break away from that focus. I used to get highly perturbed and used to complain a lot to my father.

My general replies used to be that this thing is not finished as that person had disturbed me in between. My father’s replies used to be that he was trying to test whether you were fully focused or not. Now, take care next time.

One day, I decided that nothing doing, its of no point to keep myself getting tested…. let me teach a lesson to those people who disturb me in the mid of my work…… My father could sense that I was up to something wrong and my brain was creatively moving on the wrong track. He sat with me, cracked jokes and intelligently brought me to the situation, where I mentioned my plans…..He said, “ I will tell you a story and then you decide for yourself that what you should do?”

As was very happy that my father is telling me to decide on my own, otherwise he instructs and we will have to follow….I said, Ok, Papa tell me that story…. I am willing to listen to it but you promised decision will be mine….. He reiterated, Yes my son… decision will be yours…
