The Reason behind my Title" Being a Human"

A small story behind the title "Being a Human"

One Marketing Person from Aptech India came to our SDNB Vaishnav College for giving a Lecture, He was an young man, may be, in his late 20s or starting 30s, handsome with a moustache and a rowdy like mole, he just talked about the job market available for Bcom students, and how they should equip themselves with Computer knowledge certificates, he really made an impact on me.  He was a forceful speaker, he is some one.  I asked him,"Sir, I have an aim of becoming a Chartered Accountant, what should i do?"  Within a second, he answered me, " Just make it ur central Thought, Think nothing but that goal"  I am grateful to him till now and will be forever, bcos I followed what he said, and now I am a CA.

Ok, Let me tell the Human being story.  This same Person, in particular this Sales Man of Aptech Compute,r just put forth a question to our B.com I year students, Tell me "What is your Goal?"  I am always used to answering first, atleast in the first five, and I stood up and addressed him as sir and told "Sir, I want to become a good Human Being"  He just gave me  A BANG ANSWER " U R NEVER GOING TO BE SUCCESSFUL, JUST SIT DOWN" AND  I was so upset and worried, what did I say, is there anything wrong in saying so, I AGAIN STOOD UP AND ASKED " SIR, WHY"

I asked :   :    "Sir, Why?"

That Hero gave me the answer " First have a Goal, to be a Human, you should become something in Society, you shd have a Status in Society, Achieve the Goal and then, ie., after becoming Some one Laudable by the Society, then Show the Society your Humanness, Being Someone Great, Someone adorable and Some one who has made an Achievement is very important  to be a Good Human Being"

I just planted this Thought Seed in my Mind, deep into my heart, and now I am here standing before u ppl and saying aloud that Achievement definitely makes us a Good Human Being, a Better Human Being.

Thank u Sir, I wud better call u Hero sir, Thank u for ur advice and Josh u implanted in us.

The Succes Story of our Office Watchman

Infosys Narayanamoorthy says, you should know the names of even the sweeper in your office.

 I follow this as far as possible.  It is not easy talking with people below your cadre.  Your ego get hurts.  It is not always that you will have a good chat with them.  Your appearance counts, Very importantly Luck or call it God Counts.  They open up to u, only when you are a good receiver (Hearing with your Heart)

Ok, Let me tell the story of this Watchman Mr. Karunanidhi.  He is really a Hero, thats why I want to write.  He has served for our Indian Army for about 13 years, and bcos he had taken leave beyond the period he is allowed to take, due to some unforeseen happenings in his household, he has been dismissed from Indian Army, this is very paining to me.  Unforeseen - Our hero has not wantedly come out of Indian Army, he has been forced to go out with out pension.

No pension, No job, only SSLC certificate and some gratuity money I suppose, is that enough to run his family, no, The tragedy does not stop here, his relatives sense that he has no money and quits him without even asking where he will go. 

His wife says why did u give all the money to your relatives, he has no answer to reply her.  All that he has got is Braveness - I dont want to call it Boldness - it matches with Baldness - so let me call Braveness, with Dhairya lakshmi in his heart, he went to a place, started a new life without having enough money in his hand but a family to take care of.

He himself told me " Enakku konjam Dhairiyam ga" Meaning " I had Braveness" There he started his life as a Supervisor.  Earned enough to make his one daughter and two sons study upto SSLC and got his daughter married to a Good person.  Now his son is working as a Supervisor in an office  and another son is also working in a decent place.  This army man is now working as a Watch man in our office.  U need not be rich moneywise rich to express good qualities.  The Time God  (Kaal Bhairav) checks u how faithfuly u r, when u retell ur story to someone and u feel that u have always observed Good qualities, come what may, then tell urself and rest assured that "u r a real hero".  And this watchman remarked at another Hero, Manigandan, saying that" sir dhan recommen pannaru" -  "Thanks Giving"  - u may think what is there, but keep thanking the ppl who helped u, u ll come to know how valuable it is.

Ok , the Moral of the STory of Mr. Karunanidhi is "Braveness makes You a Man"
