Is this the secret!!!!

I had an opportunity to be in Narasinghapuram Street, which is near Ritchie Street for 4 days. After knowing about the place, I prefer to call it RICH STREET.  Place where almost any kind of electronic items ranging from local products to branded products are available. Crowd Pack Street with minimum 100 commuters in an hour walks through an approximation of 5 inch broad road. I had been there earlier, but never got had a chance to know that place. I bet you can see Chennai there. There I got the real meaning of the phrase “A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty”. Busy money making feet all around, no time for anyone.

A teenager, who was giving pamphlets, spoke with me. In the conversation, I came to know he is doing this as a part time and studying in a college. He was determined to come up in his life, which made him forget the pain of standing for hours, giving pamphlets to pay for his semester fees. Irony was that, he was not taught with the needed skill relating to his course for survival in this competitive world was not offered. He said he will mug up the portions and will score, which will not help him in the long run. While working met another teenager, who, enquired about me and my whereabouts. He was a guy who can survive anywhere with his guts. A perfect example for, early money in a teenager’s life diminishes the interest to study further. He had a good score in his SSLC exam, since he started to see money during those days, he didn’t pursue his studies. He had entire moral activity one supposed not to have. Two different characters with difference in life style and goals.    

A special respect aroused after knowing the work life of the sales man. In our school days, we will complain to our parents if we get a standing punishment for some hours. But these people got to stand for the entire working hour, no chairs are provided for them. In additional they need to convince the customer, though customer convincing capability plays a vital role, lots of patients is also needed in addition. On the whole, one thing in common I found on those working or having businesses there was, they neither complained nor stopped in what they were doing, whenever they face any downfall in their life,simply moved on.They worked for today with out the expectation for tomorrow. Is this the real secret mantra for life. But this is what said by many people and written in many books.
