The Disappointment
Life teaches huge lessons through disappointments. First … What is disappointment?
The world doesn’t have any special axis. It revolves on its own. Only human beings search for axis. An axis that exhibits them. An axis that defines them. An axis that makes him a movement. When this same axis getting demolished by external and internal failures, the origin of Disappointment begins.
In a family, father keeps an axis for daughter. The family stays happy as long daughter stays in that axis. Once she comes out of an axis, set by father, (not by her), father sees that as disappointment and daughter sees that as freedom. So who is right here? No one. Only time will tell. Time reserves the final verdict. Father may fail which directly represents that disappointment fails. Daughter may fail which directly it represents that freedom fails. So … It depends on the individual. And importantly … It depends with time. Only time will tell where the road ended and how the journey was!
In a business, the axis revolves around values. Values only will bring money. When people loose values, disappointment buds. Why people loose values? For this question the final answer is … Gaining financial advancement. Financial advancement is an infinite visual. It never ends. But… Values are simple. It has no beginning or end point. It dissolves inside being. Values based people, never gets disappointment. (Even if they have, it will be for few hours or few days). They move on and achieve next level success. But people focus on financial advancement gets disappointment. They can’t come out of it. They may find end points in life.
When we advance in life, make sure we advance because of values. When we die, world represent us with what we have achieved in terms of values, not in terms of financial advancement. So… Support the needy. Support poor. Support children in their studies. Support people in their tough times. Support downtrodden. Make their disappointment with life gets erased. When you die, if a poor, if a child, if a friend, if a business-mate, if a family member, if an unknown, thinks about you, even for a second on the basis of values you presented to this world, ( even when they have differences with your lifestyle ),I guess you have won disappointment in life. Disappointment is temporary. Values are permanent. You may choose to stay with Values.
Why this picture here? Here you can see a huge water body and a small water body split by a stone. That stone, according to me stop your growth in values and makes the water to get arrested inside a small circle. The small stone can either be a hurdle to not to merge or a gateway to merge with big water body called sea. Break that small stone and merge in big sea. Big sea represents values. Small circle represents financial advancement. Uniqueness can never be arrested inside a small world. Think.
Yes. Think. Dot.
