Bell rang. Let me tell you honestly that I don’t anymore like the sound of my Telephone ringing. Not that the changed ring tone would make any different. It was just receiving a call that put me off now-a-days. Surprising! When there was a time I had been to a Govt office with a friend of mine and the phone rang there. (Remember, there were no cell phones 20-25 years back). I was almost about to pick the receiver and my friend teased me saying “Every phone in the entire world doesn’t ring only for you”. That crazy I was about receiving calls and now I put my phone on silent mode-most past of the day. I switched it off. I chose not to take it with me – many times. Funny how times change us!

Well that is past, now I received the call “Maam, thanks a lot I am so very happy my husband’s too very happy with the changed me. We are actually very happy. Thanks to you and I degree my health has improved too” said the voice from the other end. I simply asked “since its one year since you’re taken I degree why don’t you come for II degree?” “Because, my friends-the ones? I came with are not ready. I’ll come with them blah…. Blah….. She replied.

This is exactly what happens most of the time with people. They wait for others even to better their lives. No, I am not talking about people not coming for higher Degrees alone. It covers all that is good and beneficial for us.

Postponing and many times denying the self of some benefit because there is no one to attitude that is self destructive. This one at least can be the major impediment in our growth-both personal and professional. Question this all find why we need someone to tag along as we wish to loam/do/experience something that we are sure is beneficial to us?? Work on it. And the best way is to go out and start doing what we have postponed doing waiting for someone to come along with us. Start and see the different. ‘You’ are the stumbling stone in the path of your success.
