Interesting Lessons from the Glass of Water Episode 67, LIFE LESSONS

 

This episode doesn’t state the negative perception behind half a glass of water, but something beyond this. Let us look into the lesson that a glass of water teaches in a different dimension.

Hi friends and welcome to Life Lessons.

A few years ago when I just finished my graduation and entered the real world, I felt bad about the people and surroundings. They were never perfect.  This is the reason I always had one or the other complaints. This made me depressed for some days too. But things have changed gradually. These things no more seemed like a problem or complexities to me. I wondered how this change took place in me. I tried to think over it and failed to know the reason behind it.

Recently I have come across a chronicle that exactly defined the same scenario. I was glad that I have finally got the answer. After this, I felt that there is a need to share the experience which may turn into a life-changing solution to those people who have complaints in their surroundings or workplace. I hope this chronicle would turn magical for you all.

The Chronicle:

A guy joined a renowned company after his graduation.  He knows that he has to go through a new atmosphere and decided to take some time to inculcate into the atmosphere of the company.  This went on for a year. He was not yet confident that he had become a part of the organization. He had many complaints about his colleagues and other people in the organization.

 One day he went to HR to talk about the same. He asked HR to permit him to leave the company. HR was shocked at the statement. He at once asked what the reason behind it was. The employee replied that he was not happy with the surroundings in the organizations. He had complaints. He complained that no one was disciplined. They spend more time on gossips than on work they had to do. He also stated the people around were spreading negativity.

HR listened to everything carefully. He replied by asking the employee to do the last task before he can leave the company. The employee readily accepted that to respect the HR. HR asked him to take a Glass Full of Water (Brim level) and move around the office three times without ever letting a drop falling on the floor. The employee was surprised at the task given to him. But he had no other option than to obey his superior.

He took a Glass of Water (brim level) and started to move around the office as ordered. He was very careful so that even a drop wouldn’t fall on the floor. Finally, he could finish the task successfully. He returned to HR to report the same.

Looking at the employee the HR asked, “Have you heard anyone gossiping while you were going?”.

The employee replied, “No”.

Hr asked again, “Have you heard anyone spread negativity?”

The employee replied. “NO”.

The Hr smiled and said. “See, this is what you need to observe and learn in life. When you were carrying water, you were focused on it. This is the reason you have no complaints about the surroundings. Always remember when you are focused on the goals and work which you are doing, you will never have any complaints about the surroundings. ”

Observation(s):

This chronicle has blown my mind. This has perfectly showcased the common problem that we have and the ample solution for it. After this, I realized that I too started neglecting the surroundings while I was getting focused on what I need to have.  Thus I gradually stopped complaining.

It is very common that we may have many complaints about the workplace or the surroundings. It is easy and suitable to neglect them by focusing on our goals and results. Yes, it is true that we have to strive for the change that we actually need. But this is the earlier step. After we have strived and worked for the change that we need, we should learn to focus on what we want and neglect unwanted stuff to start working for that change.

There are many situations where changing things is merely impossible for us. It is common that we feel that it is not in our hands to change or turn over the scenario as per our needs. The above perception acts as the solution in these scenarios too.

When we feel that we have done enough to positively change the things around us and we feel the situation is more or less the same, shifting our focus to that glass of water- our goals and priorities will only be the solution. This automatically eliminates opinions on our surroundings. Because we will have no time and space for what is going on around us.

Summary:

I hope the chronicle that I have illustrated in the previous lines has given ample solution to the complaints that you all have on the surroundings. Having this perception in mind is the ultimate solution thus is important to always keep in mind though out your life. This perception has worked for me and expects will work for you too.

Disclaimer: I have taken motivation from a story narrated in Gaur Gopal Das's speeches. I hope I have wisely and respectfully narrated and presented in my own style without hampering the essence.
