The story is about a man
who works at midsize organisation. The man's name is John, john is 35 years old
who is trustworthy, reliable, tries to be accurate at his work place. John has
been recognized by his colleagues, management this way. And in john case it’s
unfortunate that he is being recognizing this way, will say why it is
unfortunate to john being recognize as good.john liked such recognitions and gradually he started working more than
before, tries to answer all questions, and started thinking more deeply though it’s
unnecessary. And most of the times it worked for him and initially as it is
working he believed in his way of working and habituated to his style of work.
In this process he was in image of perfectionist. He started being in future
and always tried to accomplish things. He never been in present. All of his worries to reach the expectations. He didn't know that there is no limit for people’s
expectations. In reality it’s the situations that favored him but not his way
of work, he didn't know the fact and not even the management, it was his bad
luck, which he was thinking his hard work..
A day has come
when management believing on john's capabilities, reputation, and name accepted
to take a project from the client and promised to deliver it on time. All top
managers are so happy that this project will turn the organisation from midsize
to MNC. They called john and asked to handle the project.
When john get into
details of the project he was petrified, stunned and shocked that project is
behind his level and couldn't even make the blue print of it. he became tensed,
confused on the situation and couldn't dare to discuss same with the management
about the facts. He ashamed to furnish the facts about his situation, trapped
by his own image.
John now started
thinking about past that what made him to be in this situation, he understood
that he never seen or listened to situations but seen through his own
manufactured lens (meaningless concepts and thoughts) he felt upset and lost
confidence. Day by day he became weak mentally, physically. he shared with his
friends about the situation to get out of the shock even it doesn't helped him.
and now he couldn't stand on single decision, he just started keep changing the
decision within short time. He had no other option then meeting the psychologist,
a psychologist told he is schizophrenia and the another told bipolar.
John is now 45 years old
when he encountered this situation, he wasted almost 10 years of life, living
with his meaningless concepts & imagination. Now he couldn't even do his routine works at office, though management never questioned him out of his
goodwill and still believed him.
John understood that
reversing his situation, his thinking pattern is not easy in short term,
Accepting the project and working on it would create more mess to him and
company. A midsize company would never allow to lose the project.
It is the first time john
understood the situations as they are, he chosen to RESIGN.
His Resignation is not
out of frustration but by understanding.
He understood that to
unlearn and relearn would take couple of years to him and it’s not appropriate
to do at the cost of company, being at company.
His Resignation is not
out of hate but out of Respect, understanding that it’s good for all.
And understood that
there are bulk of people out more talent to do that project at less cost.
John decision may seems ridiculous, but he is the one who knew his capabilities, being at
company would make even company lose the goodwill. So he took that decision where there is limited loss.
As we seen john story. Some
people in our life stops loving or starts ignoring people not because they hate
them but because they don't want to mess peace of others staying with
them. It’s through deeper understanding.
A negative person cannot
enter into the heart of pure heart. If he tries to enter either he makes pure
heart negative or pure light would torch him.so if someone ignores, they chosen
such decision out of good. And they are left with only that choice.
Thanks,
Arun
