Saved!
What a change! In less than a year I see around me a complete different set of people.
Don't get me wrong, people. But as I've made myself quite clear, the corporate world is not the place for me. The crisp, well-rehearsed,formal behaviour , a shiny classy exterior that covers even the most rotten core....a crowd of self-centred, highly ambitious individuals who swear by the most popular principles and theories of positive thinking and yet lead a lifestyle that would be aeons away from anything Shiv Khera or Stephen Covey prescribed. No, my friends, I was definitely not going to live my life in a place like this.
It was as if God himself took it upon Himself to lead me gently into a place which has turned my world a whole 180 degrees around. The fake smiles and snide comments I had to put up with everyday were soon replaced with genuine concern and warm greetings. The wounds of the soul started healing instantly. I relaxed as I realised slowly,that not all people worked with selfish motives in mind.
Finally, I seem to have found a place where I can be me. More important, a place where I may discover new facets to my personality. Where my mistakes are just errors ro learn from, not brownie points for a jealous colleague. Where disagreements are sorted out openly, transparently,and not blown up into a fiery war of words or a clash of egos. A place, where I am glad to have found an opportunity to contribute.
Thank You ShriRam.
