Flowers are few

Everyday when I think of coming up with a new topic for my blog for the day, I keep searching thoughout the day for some menaingful message that can convey a fruitful thought to my reader's mind. In this process I asked myself as to how can one come up with something new on a daily basis. The answer that flashed my mind was a big NO! No one ever comes up with anything new on this earth. There is abundance of resources around us which we use to modulate something that looks new.

As per the last statement in the above paragraph, I was looking around myself for an idea for my today's blog. As I was looking out of the window while travelling in the bus, I found these small white flowers that had just crossed the budding stage on plants under the fly-over. The concept of having gardens under the fly-overs was an interesting idea of mine which has been already implemented in many places across the city. So when I was observing one such small plant underneath the fly-over I could see these beautiful little white flowers. There were hardly ten of them in the entire plant. The first objects to catch my eyes were these flowers as soon as I saw the plant. If the plant was devoid of these flowers, probably I wouldn't have even remembered that I had seen the plant. These tiny flowers added to the beauty of the plant which became the symbol of recognition and remembrance. But the only sad fact was that these flowers were very few in number. Such is the creation of the Almighty. He always keeps precious things less in number or is it that whatever is in scarcity becomes precious? This is a deep thought to prod in further. Probably drinking water is one of the best examples for this debate. Decades ago when clean drinking water was available in abundance, people hardly considered it with utmost care but now when drinking water resources are srinking in size and number, water has become a precious commodity to afford which is no more available free of cost.

Precious items are always few in number but more in demand in this world. Be it precious gems and stones or precious people who strive day in and day out to make this world a better place to live. The choice to be like one of the hundreds of the leaves on a plant or like one of the few flowers on a plant is in our hands. Let us be those precious human souls on this mother earth who can make every moment of our lives precious to the world around.

Project your work

World is not as good as we presume it to be. There are people around us who are just here to use us for their personal benefits. Many of us follow the culture of modesty. Also if one talks about his/her own work or achievements people consider that person to be egoistic. Hence many concede their work to themselves and don't project it to the outside world. This is the pit that we dig for ourselves. If you have to get what you deserve then you must show what you have done as well, however small the work may be because ultimately you have done it.

Make a note of every minute work that you do which you're suppose to report to someone else. If you're working for yourself then you will have this data as a progress chart of your own work. On the other hand, when we are reporting to someone else we tend to report only the major things as we think that the smaller ones could have been done by anyone and its not correct to expect credit for it. Let me reassure you my dear friend, however smaller the work is, work is work which has to be done by somebody. If you've done it then there is no point not showcasing it and getting the reward it deserves however small even the reward might be. Every minute, every effort of yours is precious which gets invested in doing any amount of work and you definitely deserve the credit for it. There are very few people whom you may find if you're lucky enough who will recognise your hardwork and reward you accordingly. Rest of the world is here to just eat you up to maintain and promote their own positions.

Last but not the least, your job doesn't end at just reporting every work that you have done. The next and final step is to prove that you deserve the reward for your accomplishments of work and getting it. Even the fighting for what you deserve is a step to be completed to completely get what you need to get. You have to develop this skill as well to respect your own work. In the process you have to be stern enough to tell the other person not to cheat you. So don't mind of any emotional hurt when you're asking for your right.
