Go for Hustle, Go for Glory

Regret over not initiating a step kills more dreams than the failure suffered during implementation of that dream!

I sit on the window, visualizing the beautiful sun rise, in my cool atmosphere, the sweet of chirping of birds stimulate my ears, gentle breeze tend to kiss my cheeks, the rays of the Sun reaching out to me, embracing me into itself and the amalgamation of various notions in the convolution of my brain. I keep aside those notions, after all who would fall in that complexity and ignore the beautiful scenario!

I give a head start to my day, getting involved with the college paper works which adds weight to my shoulders and need to be completed as soon as possible. Yes, it is that boring, bug-creepy schedule of mine that consumes me everyday and spit me out at the end. But no worthy thing in this world is available at ease. Everyone works hard; everyone in my office has the same bulk and earns the same amount of buck. Then am I the same like them? Do I belong to the flock of the driven?

You need to shut up and focus on your work to earn your bread, my subconscious mind commands me as my mind goes off the track and I resume my ‘take my life and kill me’ stuff.

It is lunch recess from my day and ah! I take a sigh of relief but I am aware that it is not going to last long. No longer did I take a relief when I saw my old amigo, my school buddy.

“Hey Ram, over here!” I scream out his name, hoping his eyes could catch me. I see him still the same; the same spiky hair, the same ‘I am The Boss’ personality, the same fair tone of skin. An amalgam of correct charisma one can say!

Starting a conversation with him, we talk about our early school days and the present life. No wonder he was a scholar. No, don’t mistake him to be a nerdy type. He is an intellectual psychopath. And he has his hands reached out in almost every direction to learn every possible thing. Damn! He holds the personality; he holds the class of a Gentleman.

We talk about our dreams we had and yes, I have an opportunity to put my notions to my tongue. I can hear my subconciousness being silent as a dumb this time, not commanding me to focus of my daily weary work.

I see him reaching to the niche of his life, where he always wanted. We both sailed in the same boat but I chose to toss it but he continued his sail. Suddenly, I feel like I am on level 999 of stupidity. What if I had given up on my laziness! I can at least assure that I won’t be working for this energy-clenching job. I still remember how he worked hard and smart to achieve his ambition and I used to gaze at him. He encouraged me to his fullest, but I always gave an excuse that such a pace was not my cup of tea and he hated this negative thought of mine. As soon as I used to speak this, he frowns and says, “Make sure I don’t get to hear this again!” But lazy me, I always said the same thing.

I sink into the nostalgia when suddenly he gets up, looking at the time and his mouth wide open. He is late for his meeting, as told by him and he took a leave. I am left here, all alone and dragged back in time. I put my head in my hands, scolding me. I wish I would have taken a step. I even had someone to hold my back, who would help me reach the summit, who would give a push but I was quite outrageous.

I have no such person today in my life who can encourage me so much like he did. And I feel quite sorry for myself. Not everyone gets such a push and I was one of those among the lucky ones.

Today, I regret it the most in my life that my friend wanted to move ahead, at the pace of a bullet but wanted to carry me along with him towards success. I want to say to all you guys that never let go of the opportunities you get. Everyone is born the same; no one is born with a user manual. It is upon us whether to feed our hustle or our laziness. Learning something new is everyone’s cup of tea. Never have any kind of inferiority complex in your life and always hope for the best. You don’t need that kind of negativity in you. You are born to shine, not to be a dull!
