Focus- Confusion Applenty

The present day folks irrespective of what generation they hail from stress on the point Focus. A vision in life is always the need at any time and at any instant for you to taste the dream word named Success.

I personally believe it all depends on what we limit to as success. Some people might be satisfied landing into a job and just taking care of their kith and kin. Some might aspire the level of becoming like one of their role models and never rest until it is achieved.

The list goes on and on and on..

But what surprises me people is the sacrifices one makes to reach that goal. When our focus dwells on achievements we loose our relations and when we have time for relations career is in for a toss. Where and when and how to give priority remains a queer statement waiting to be tested.

Is the topic appearing weird? Changes are always at the writer's will waiting to be enforced.

My dad used to tell me the importance of a vision. Work on a goal and then you should rest. Sadly all my visions have lasted for short times. I had a vision of becoming a Sachin at the age of ten. My coach went mad over my exhibition of cricketing skills, he quit the job immediately.

Focus and work- then you will achieve.

I tried my hands on basketball and given my height I was envied. Things took its shape and lack of people to drive ended the tenure. I tried my hands on Badminton, Table Tennis and many games. Then figured out to play sports there was something needed much more than focus. That was stamina.

Studies, no other go had to become my focus. Driven from entire peer pressure I managed to scrape through.Now placed in a company thinking, no more studies is required, comes the finalle. 

I need to study loads to stay in this particular job. "Aww.... !!", where should the focus be?. Studies or job. At-least in school and College I had friends to give company. But here all is in for a toss. And they say, still stay focused, you can really scale heights.

And at the end I have entered the blogging world!! Oops!!.. What does this require to sustain, remain focused, and to achieve.

P.S- Confusions are aplenty regarding this writing. But still it was worth the try. Think on the title. Hope you will stay confused for at-least a moment.

The Humor Quotient

Experiences of people trying to crack jokes fades away in air with hardly no reaction from the audience is something that's not new to one and all. Just turning back on our own experiences, not all our humor tries have been a hit, but one or two rarely without our notice comes to limelight. Confused about what the writer is talking about, is the subject "The Humor Quotient".

Once I had myself placed in an elderly gang, guys of the age 30's and me in my prime 20's. There was a range of discussion going on, me hardly trying to have a say. I started observing each folks and noticed a senior member keeping calm. Assuming him to be a reserved guy but brilliant as his looks portray him to be. The topic revolved around girls and ragging during college time. The discussion came to a halt all of a sudden and here entered the senior guy.

"You know what, I ragged a girl and it was much fun. I gave her fifty paise and made her buy a chocolate and she bought it for me. Interesting girl she was", he blurted out laughing. All the other guys joined the laughter making me wonder whether the topic was really on ragging.

Giving a talk about a topic is something complex within itself. To an unknown audience they say the theory of "Ice Breaker", which literally means to get to know the audience better in the limited time. The best method to implement this to the fullest effect is to crack a joke, expert's advice.

Happened to sit in one such workshop on Water treatment, the speaker a gigantic figure happened to precede over it. The talk commenced, " Water is the most essential component in our daily life. Even without food we can manage but water cannot be done so". I had a skeptical idea about his saying. "If water is wasted then it is an error. He scribbled on the board,

                                                                     Before Treatment: (Wat.(Erorr)..).
                                                                     After Treatment:    (WatEr).(orr)

So that is the effectiveness of the treatment". The audience gave a huge round of applause for bringing the point of the entire session in a jist, so easily comprehendable. The audience all had a glass of water in front of them and some randomly had a sip.

The speaker continued" Now the water in front of you, which you all drank is not treated. But if you use our system we can assure it will be hundred percent pure".

There was a range of coughs and vomits when the speaker cleared his throat and said "Just Joking".

The rest of the day I feared to have a drop of water in my place.

The effect of Humor Quotient is very unpredictable. Never do we know where the joke we intend to crack, will land us in.
That comes to an end of a post.
Phew! Managed to write onepost.

P.S. Hope there was enough content in this article to make you sleep. Will update one more before you all wake up. Until then Stay Tuned. (tried to crack a joke do smile!!).
