Well, this morning what caught my attention was your DP, in that small circle of a space that the FB messenger provides for DPs, with that flowery top of yours and that wire meshed feathery summer hat, the image that came to my mind was of a butterfly atop a flower in bloom, and your smile further added to the effervescence of happy thoughts which might have coaxed my eyes to see the world more colourful and wild, sitting in a concrete jungle. And thus I got curious to know how such a delighting person feels from inside. Overall, a trespassing in to someone's private space, more so in case of a lady- as private is more private there, but than as they say curiosity is sometimes it's own master.
Being human who won't delight in the praise, however unfounded it may be, specially when it comes in form of idolisation; and so am I. Though, with difficulty, I can not forget that idol in the temple is elevated to its status by the essential need of man to visualise in physical form even the most personal and intimate of their own strengths; otherwise that idol is nothing more than a carved stone ( and even the carving is done by another human being).
Carrier growth, above the level of basics, is nothing but being at the right place at right time. So it's not the time spent on it which is important but those few moments when a fearless decision is made ( me moving to a fledgling bank was one such decision, and at that time it was difficult to figure out if it was brave or foolish one- all such terms, brave or foolish, always lean back on crutches of hindsight to stand up).
Strong personality, to share a secret with you, is nothing but to know all you flaws in advance and practice to hide them well, even when you have many of them. In essence, between confidence and bravado, it is closer to bravado.
Congrats on your promotion. Please be assured that all of it is based on you deserving it. If I deserve thank for anything linked to it is for not messing up with my duty and not overlooking the deserving. Congratulations again, and enjoy it thoroughly for whatever it is worth. Also, therefore, it should be yourself who should come first in your thoughts after a promotion; I would be equally delighted being second.
Please always feel free to say/or message. Nothing of my reaction should dissuade you, because you are entitled to relay a message solely for your own pleasure; I talk to god all the time and never hear back- and perhaps thankfully so because the kind of stuff I talk with him, if he ever chooses to respond back, he is bound to kick my ass for all the crap I throw on him assuming that I have the brains to actually have a conversation with him. But, in our case there is no doubt about that parity and I will be delighted to receive, and respond to my best.
Ups and downs are how life makes sense. It is the gap between two consecutive up and down which measure the life lived. All ups, or all downs, will never make sense as life. The small trick though is to find something which you can do completely alone for your own pleasure ( in my case reading does that).
Pleasant state of mind is good. As I sometime suspect that happiness is more about state of being, rather than meaning of thing, and, therefore, can be improved by practice, and if you can add little foolishness to it even the requirement of practice goes down significantly. So keep practicing and don't be afraid of being foolish.
Well, knowing about other's life experience does help, only to the extent that it prepares you to get the maximum from your own life experience, like preparing the lesson the previous night for next day's class.
As for your Sunday mood, I am truly delighted to have added to it; hope it has augmented the joy of whatever your senses are delighted to receive for pleasure- the food, the drink, the music, the solitude, friends, or a combination thereof.
May joy be always in the driver’s seat in you..
Watching with delight,
I
