It did not end, It changed its form like Energy
Ramesh was
coming out of an office. His friend Paresh was waiting for him outside the
office.
Paresh (to
Ramesh, seeing Ramesh coming out of the office building): So, what did they say? Did they say
yes?
Ramesh
(being normal, he was not excited): Yes, they said yes.
Paresh
(doubting any problem): So, what happened? Did you say no to any of their things?
Ramesh
(again, being normal): No, there is no problem. The deal has been finalized, they have approved
my idea and all the required documents have been signed.
Paresh
(being very happy and excited): Wow, that’s great news. How can you be so normal while sharing this with
me?
Ramesh: It’s not that I am not happy about
it but don’t feel like celebrating it. Actually, I had not expected my idea to
be approved.
Paresh: Are you serious? You were working so
hard with this idea of yours and now you are saying that you had not expected
your idea to be approved. Why?
Ramesh: I always had belief on my idea but after
being presenting my idea from one office to other regularly since a long time,
the thing which I had in my mind was, “Work on your idea, regularly present
it to as many people as you can and one day someone is going to like your idea
and believe in it like the way you do. If someone doesn’t approve your idea,
get remarks from them, work on them if they seem valid to you.” I meant to
say that I was habituated with the work but not the result, but still, there is
a long way to go. I have to make the idea work for me, the people who are more
likely to be benefitted from it and the people who are investing in it.
Paresh: Hmm. Valid point.
They
started walking on the roadside to their way to the nearby bus-stop.
Ramesh: Yesterday, I had the tension of getting
this idea approved, and now, I am thinking about the things to be worked on for
getting this idea executed. It’s like the thing we had read in school about ‘Energy’.
Paresh: How?
Ramesh: “Energy can neither be created nor
destroyed. It just changes its form.” I meant to say that the thinking and
pressure of getting this idea approved did not end for me, it just has taken
the form of making this idea a reality.
Paresh: Ohh. Nice one. Got it. It didn’t
end, it just changed its form. I have one example too. There is a friend of
mine, Sneha. During one campus recruitment for a company, initially, she was
tensed about qualifying the written round, when she passed the written exam,
she said, “Oh my God. I am so tensed right now, how am I going to pass this
‘Personal Interview’ round. I was focusing more on the written one. Oh God, I
am going to cry now.” Then, she started crying.
Ramesh: Yeah, you got that very much right.
Then, they
reached the bus-stop.
