While sipping
my machine coffee with my ‘Tiger crunch’, my friend pinged me on my office
communicator, she was very disturbed. She questioned me something that is not
very relevant to the majority of the population. To some
it might not even look like an issue.
Let me
ask you one question:
Do you
feel, at times that your ideology is totally different from the people around
you????
Do you
feel that your interest area is nobody’s concern?
If the
answer is yes, then, Congratulations!!!!! Definitely you come into the
Minority.
As the
saying goes:
“A
best times are always found when Friends and Family gather round”
What
if, these best times turns out to be a frustrating conversation where people failed to understand.
Though
people still talk to you, a feeling of social outcast prevails, somewhere, in
your mind. There are few people with whom you can share your ideology.
But
then who cares!
Anyways,
she felt that her too much zeal for life, for her career and for herself,
irritates people and sometimes depress them or make them laugh.
I would rather say. “Welcome to the club!!”
A huge
round of applause for us!!!!!
Then,garner
the courage to stand apart.
It’s not easy, it will never come easy. People will laugh, mock about you and even ignore you.
Only 5%
of population in this world have made it to the top and they all were once
outcast by the people around them
Optimism
and enthusiasm fills us with ideas and solutions towards every problem in our
life, it gives us the perspective to see the problem from a different
dimension.
One
more thing that makes us different, is that we are gifted. At times this works against us, we start talking without
realizing that the other person is not interested.
Observe
people around you, observe who cares and wants to listen to you.
Don’t
give suggestions or advice to every other person. Even though they make
mistakes let them do.
Well,
this could be just one aspect of being outcast.
There
could be many more reasons that make you feel outcast.
For
such reasons, only one perspective, listen to your inner-self, be more accepting
towards what people think of you and keep working towards your goal.
Soon,
you will become a part of the 5% population.
Then,
it’s your turn…….Laugh!!
