You
may be winner in other people’s eyes, but have you ever tried to see
yourself in your own eyes. Have you ever tried to stand in front of a
mirror and ask yourself “Am I proud of myself ?” or “What Am I, a
winner or a loser?” I also asked the same question to myself and I got
the answer that, I am nothing but a loser. It may be sounding like I am
low on confidence or I am drunk. But believe me it’s a fact; which very
few people are ready to accept. How can someone be a winner in life by
having a good career, a beautiful wife/girlfriend, wonderful children
and all other materialistic things those are required to feel
comfortable in life.
Everyone should ask one question to
himself that “does life really all about only these things? Do words
like- “peace”, “happiness” and “self-satisfaction” have no meanings in
life?” Do not we need to give these words equal weight-age with “money”,
“success” & “fame” in life?
In our childhood days, we were more than
happy in spending that little amount of money our parents were giving
us. But now do we really get that much happiness spending a bigger
amount in watching a movie in a theater, or going to a pub or disco with
friends on weekends or having a dinner together in a much bigger hotel.
May be not. But have we ever tried to find the reason behind this? I
believe may be its due to the fact somewhere walking towards achieving
our goals we lost those peoples who love & care for us
unconditionally. When we were nothing those people stood by our side.
But we valued our desire for success more than their love for us. Now
when I hold my cell phone and go through my contact list, I see lots of
those people’s name are missing in my list. May be we never realize that
one day we are going to be out of sight of each others. That’s why I am
saying that I am a loser. Because I never realized worth of those
people.
Once up on a time I was finding
satisfaction in bringing smile on a child’s face by giving him/her a
chocolate or helping an old man while crossing the road, whom I did not
know. But maybe now I am least bother about those things. I expect that
someone else is going to do it, then why do I! May be I have started
prioritize things according to my needs. May be I am not realizing that I
have become a selfish. May be somewhere down the line now I am loosing
that self satisfaction, which I was getting by doing those stuffs.
That’s why I am a loser.
When I started realizing the difference
between aim & dream, I started aiming those things which other
people said, I can achieve. May be I thought that dreams had values,
only when someone is sleeping. May be I never tried to dream with open
eyes. May be I did not have that much confidence in me that time to tell
others that I may be good at those things which you people are seeing.
But I am best at something else. So I am a loser, as I could not
convince others that my aim in life is to make my dreams come true.
When I was child my parents took care of
mine in the best possible way. They never left my hand till they were
sure that, now onwards I could walk by my own. They gave importance to
my need, my emotion, my happiness, my achievements, my comfort more than
their own. But when the time came for me to look whether they need my
hand to walk their rest of journey, I am far away to hold their hands. I
may love them more than anyone else. But is it enough to only love
them. If when I was born, they would have only loved me and left my hand
to walk my life’s journey by my own; then what would have happened to
me. Yes they are happy in seeing me successful. They also want me to
reach all the peeks of my career, like other people’s son. Yes they are
happy when I call them for 5-10 minutes everyday. May be they live the
whole day with me in those five minutes. May be now I am habituated to
this kind of life. May be I have started believing that life goes like
this only. So I am a loser, as I compromised with life to prove myself
in front of others, knowing that these peoples have no values in my
life.
I thought I gave you enough reasons to
prove yes I am a looser. Yet I am sure one day I will win. What if I
will be late for my office, I will for sure help an old man while
crossing the road; I will try to give happiness to a small child
standing alone. What if people say I have gone mad, I will try to make
those dreams come true which I saw long time ago. What if I will not be
that much successful in life like other people’s sons, I will try to
give more happiness to my parent’s then those people’s sons. What if I
can’t buy a big car, a big home; I will be happy that those people are
with me who have importance in my life, who are going to be there by my
side all through my life.

chooser.”
