Making a Mark???

It was a particularly pleasent say. One of the reasons was that i didnt have to sit there back for the whole day and the other thingwas that we were let free by 3. Its was a saturday but some working for my project kept me off for the whole day. Though i am still stuck in these everyday matters of working...getting some free time and i still get time to think hard about the future of my hopes..dreams ..aspirations. The last night..i spent all the time thinking about it.Think think think..is that all i can do....i am feeling really out of place in this present job which is my first one.I am supposed to be enjoying this and showing interest. Buti cant..i cant do it. One of the reasons is that i am being very impatientand really worried or lets say anxious about my future. But as they say..there is no shortcut to success..i think i believe in this. But then i am a very simple human and i wish..i just wish that somehow if i could fast forward my life into the next five years...but that is not possible.I was just thinking about a book i had read few years back..The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho. I can readthat book any number of times. One of the reasons is that whenever i read it..i am able to find an insight into myself and i am able to look to things in a different way. Its a nice book and i would quote Coelho--
Often the most simple things in life are the most extraordinary, but only the wise have the ability to understand them.
One of the other persons that have inspired me is Edmund Hillary and going through his biography was a parrticularly interesting and inspiring thing. Its named " Nothing venture, Nothing Win"I like one of his quotes where he goes on to say about himself "Being a kid whenever i heard about some person doing something different...it was uncomprehendible to me..and i always maintained that they were persons of extraordinary strength and belief...which i ..as a normal being would never be able to achieve"There are a lot of people around us from whim we can find inspiration still we are in the look out for persons and places to reinvent ourselves.
One of the biggest problems..for me as i see it now.is to make my mark and my own space in this new organisation. How far i would be able to go..i would never know.But then going out there and giving it your best shot is what really matters. Day before yesterday i saw a person lying there on mthe middle of the road..nobody to see if he is alive or dead!! hundreds of people pass by//( i was one of them).....so i dont reallyhave any right to say anything. But it made me really sad. may be someday i would something for the cause of nature. But first....i have to be that somebody.and that someday .....when ..i think again?

Paulo Coelho is one of my favorite authors. Read "Veronika Decides to Die". I think you'll like it. Let me know what you think.

Keep up the writing. It's cathartic isn't it?
