I have this unusual knack of probing too much about any possible thing, always thinking the other way round, & getting all the possible queries cleared beforehand about any task that I'm about to take in my hand. I always tend to pose a lot of 'What-ifs' prior getting along anything, the miss of which renders some sort of insecurity within me regarding the successful completion of the chore. Be it for any reason, being a possible potential perfectionist or evading a humiliating scene or avoid making a fool of myself (never bothered to probe much for the reasons though), i was ,usually, critiqued and looked down as incompetent by all & sundry, & with serious concerns raised about my decent enough performance in my management studies. The result is, as yet, too controversial a topic to be raised though but that's a different part of the story altogether.

All said and done, here, at the actual battleground, during numerous of our rendezvous for assignments of all sorts, when i exhibited the same uncanny trait, much to my amazement, i have always been looked upon as the devil's advocate, holding unlike approaches & have been appreciated for the same too.
With the least intention of blowing my own trumpet & admitting & keeping in mind the long way yet to be travelled, the only motive of mine for penning it all down is just to make us discard the preconceived notions we hold up. We are less of what people perceive us & more of what we actually are.

Everything we possess & display, is there in us for some good & a reason. Nothing is useless. We just fail to find the right fit!

  2. Well Said... We often tend to portray ourselves as a person ppl want us to be, but happiness lies only in being what u want to be and being liked that way. Every person is unique. And I believe a lot of people need to accept the fact that the person in front has his own methodology of doing things. A really nicely drafted article!!
