Filter your thoughts!

I left my job in August 2010. Since, then I have changed! YES. I have a confession to make. I was little more lazy then. I was little less organised compared to what I am today. (Yes, I have my schedule and a diary today that I don't simply carry, but also make entries into it, or simply save it as a note in my draft SMS messages)

I almost have a planned day. Sure, things go off sometimes, and there are uncertain times, but mostly I know what I am going to do. Most of the times either I am reading (Yes, I have been reading a lot, I have read more books in the last 6 months than I had ever read in the last 23 years) or I am thinking (not day dreaming) about my next move. (I think a lot, may be that's were all the protein I consume goes)


All these changes didn't 'just' happen. I made conscious effort a deliberate decision to change for the better. I knew this change is very simple and effective. Though I mentioned a few bad elements in me above, that I am changing, I was never unreceptive to things that were generally good. The reason I made mistakes and didn't realize it was only because of the fact that I was just not 'aware' in and out of it! Even then, I had this 'respect the speaker' manners that I had learned early in my life and most of the times accepted the good points, the most suitable thing, for a given situation.

Thus, when I meet people who are just so locked in their own zone, not willing to 'accept' other's view point, not willing to listen and then react, not open to new ideas and have their 'narrowed' view point on every thing you say (they have reasons or justification even to your most valid and generally accepted point) I feel sad and pity for their ignorance and such awful state.

All I am trying to say in this post is, stick to your point or opinion when you know it is generally acceptable and a right behavior or a manner, but never averse to something that is going to make a long lasting impact on you and the thing which is right! Never 'just' oppose something because you are unaware of it and have never experienced. You never know, the point or view you are so dearly holding to yourself is actually a misconception or just your unselfconsciousness!
