Nothing Comes, Unless You Invest!

Our most valuable investments are not about money or material things, they are about investing time, energies, focus and passion.

This is what I have got as a result of failure, when I did not invest my passion and energy. I was supposed to drop my resume in person and show my passion to the recruiters and invest some energy in the process. I procrastinated the task till the last day, as I am not that serious about getting the job immediately or I thought it as an uncomplicated thing.

At the day, I woke up late, got ready and departed for the job place. Till the last step out of my house I swear, I did not want to do it. I did not have the Resume and Cover letter printed, nor in USB, just in email and I could not get it printed from the near by printing shop cause they had some trouble in their internet. I got back home, took it in flash and went to drop it. The gate keeper said; drop your CV here and we will pass it over to the office. I wanted to entrust it my self to some one. They did not allow me, I was deficient in passion, did not try to persuade much either.

This is a sad story, probably the most dull and bad story of the year till now.

I felt inadequate, pathetic and unfortunate. I realized soon that I am not right in feeling so, as this is how I deserved it to be, this is the out come of what I invested; absolutely NOTHING!

This is a little example, it was a little happening. It was merely a couple of bad hours, but the lesson I got is life long!

“Things come to us, when we put forth towards them. Every suffering is a result of some action or not doing an appropriate action”
