“Everybody dreams… Some wake and chase their dream And there are others… who seem to chase their dreams only in another dream … What made me realise this intriguing fact???? Well…
Recently I was watching the movie Julie and Julia yet again… this time I had a company who constantly kept asking questions… The underlying point… my company failed to conceptualise and understand why Julia as well as Julie would want to do something like what they did… why they were so upset when things did go according to the plan… why Julie was so desperate to make her blog… her regimen…work…. !!
The other time… the same company asked why these reality show contestants cry so much… well answer for that may be ‘coz to raise the TRP… gain sympathy of judges or voters… or even… coz they genuinely felt so … and why did they feel so??? Coz’ they dream of fame… and recognition of their talents and themselves through these platforms…
Now I fail to understand… is it so difficult to understand it???
The company I am talking about… is not just another person on the earth… my company is actually talented in many things… but why did my company not receive due fame and recognition??? Well the answer to this question is … “this” attitude/behaviour/thinking… whatever you may call… among other factors…. The other factors being Family… and friends majorly….
My company is not at fault here… it’s been there since ages… generations through generations… they have all craved for fame and recognition with passion once… yet they fail to understand what the fuss is about when somebody else tries the same…. they all say the poem “The road less travelled” is beautiful… but they all seem to take it as a fairy tale… indeed there are a few people who wanted a fairy tale life… went on the road less travelled and are icons of today and tomorrow….
Take for example Chef Sanjeev Kapoor… I mean he had to fight and argue with his father who apparently wanted him to be a doctor…. And see now… even after so many years… and so many good chefs around… Sanjeev Kapoor is still a huge brand name!!! In fact he seems to have inspired a lot of Chefs to take up the profession and follow their passion for food and cooking.
A recruiter at my college once said.... "Choose a profession such that even if its a Sunday you would be happy to jump out of the bed and work on it"....
Now all this “You can Win” type of lecture makes sense only if I am a dream chaser in real…. Am I a dream chaser?? Majorly… NO… but to certain extent.. Yes … am I willing to reverse it??? Hell yeah!!!! The incident I discussed with you above has actually inspired me to chase my dreams for real… how much am I going to succeed?? Only time can tell…. But will I succeed?? Hell yeah again!!!
