I remember an uncle who used to come to my house when I was just a little kid. One day, like most other elderly people, he too asked me what would I like to be when I grow up. I smartly told him that I wanted to become an angel who could fly around the world anywhere she wishes to. Hearing my ambitious ambition in life, he did not laugh or squeeze my cheeks thinking it to be cute. He smiled and put his hand on my head saying, “Of course you will! Study hard and be good at whatever you do. You will keep flying higher and higher.”
Being a little girl of 4 years, I don’t know how that made an impact on me ever since then. The years flew by and today I am 21 years old with still lots of dreams to fulfill in my life (They are more realistic now though). But, whenever I meet someone full of positivity, I remember the first positive man i met in my life.
What do you have to say about some people who have so much of energy and positivity in them, that they smear blotches of it on whoever they meet? Doesn’t that make you wonder how? After all everybody resides in the same world with the same kind of people around, then what is the magic behind such people who never give up in life, who is adored by all and has the key to all problems.
Is it their successful career, lots of money or stunning better halves? Well, it can be either of these or all of them, but still there must be something that keeps the drive in them going. That is what I try to discover every time I meet someone like that.
It is so easy to get disheartened, to lose our temper, dislike people or just feel like tearing somebody’s hair when they talk or behave no sensibly, but did we ever try to do or feel the opposite of what we generally do? I personally can’t even think of reacting otherwise in such moments. Kudos to all such people who transform people’s life for the better by just inspiring them and instilling in them their positive attitude. And I also consider myself lucky to know such people, who made even the slightest of difference in my life.
Very inspiring indeed.
ReplyDeleteCould empathize myself with your words.

ReplyDeleteMs. Guha Roy,
ReplyDeleteindeed u r fying high.. keep up the good work
It's important to be positive in life for one's ownself . But when someone chooses to become a journalist, I really belive that a positive attitude is essentially needed. The society will take a look at glass of life through your pe...n and will either see it half filled or half empty depending upon your attitude of treatment of the event you report. I am extremely happy that you found time to reflect upon such an important aspect of life "Positive Attitude". Atanu uncle
