No Job Is Too Small


Before I share my experience with you, I would like to ask you a question. Take your time to answer this question.

Which is the most important profession or job or business in the world?

Write down your answer on a piece of paper. The answer to the above question is written in the later part of this blog. Let's see if we both agree. 


Here’s my experience. About a month or so, it was quite late at night and I was returning home. I decided to fuel up my vehicle just to avoid long Q in the morning. As I entered the fuel station, there was a car already being fuelled up. As I got closer I heard the attendant and car owner quarreling over something. I couldn’t understand what was that about. The car owner drove off after fuelling and before he left he said to the petrol bunk attendant ‘apni aukaat me rehena’.

 

Next, as the attendant approached me to fuel my car, I asked him what happened. The attendant said that he requested the owner not to talk over the phone at the fuel station for which he got angry and started quarreling.

 

Using mobile phones at a fuel station is a safety issue. None of us should talk over phones at the fuel station. There should be no compromise here. But the other gentleman refused to do so. Not only that, but he also humiliated the attendant and didn’t treat him with respect.

 

I felt bad for the attendant. The guy was just doing his job. I could clearly see from his face that he was upset the way that person treated him. As he finished fuelling up my car, I greeted him and said thank you, sir. That one little greeting brought a big smile on his face. He also greeted me back and then I left.

 

I have seen so many people in my life who respect others based on their financial status, income, or position, or job. People tend to change their behavior if they find out that a person is not wealthy or working in a higher position. They treat wealthy and poor people differently. Some people are so much obsessed with it that they ask what other person is doing in life and then treat them according to their position.

 

No job is too small in the world. The jobs are what people have chosen according to their circumstances and capacity. You are not better than someone else simply because you have more degrees or higher income. You don't have to clean the streets because somebody else is doing it, right? Every job in this world is equally important. 

 

However, there is one profession that is more important than all the other professions or jobs. It is the single most important profession in the world.

 

It’s Agriculture. Famers are the most underrated in the world. Without them, none of us can live. Do you agree?  


Everyone is fighting their own battle. Treat everybody with respect, irrespective of their gender, profession, status, or color. You will not lose anything if you show respect somebody working at a lower position than you, instead, you will gain their respect and loyalty.


Wish you happiness and peace


Don’t forget to share it if you liked it.


Until next time... Ciao...

Theory of Relativity

Its been a long time since I posted my last blog. So many blogs in "Drafts" but I have been just lazy not to finish them. But every now then I see an inspiration around me that makes want to share it with you all.  It was a late evening in the scorching heat of Delhi in the month of May and I was sitting in the waiting room of Nizamuddin Railway Station waiting for arrival of my train back home. The waiting room was a mini India where people from all parts of the country where waiting to catch their train. Amidst the chaos in the waiting room, walks in a skinny old man in his late 70s carrying a bunch of baggage lock chains and repair tools in his hand with a backpack. His face was wrinkled and body was bent but there was no sign of tiredness on his face. The temperature on that day in Delhi was over 45 degree Celsius and still hadn't cooled down in the evening. Whole Delhi was exhausted from the heat including me, except this old man who had a charm of a young man on his

Wherever Life Plants You, Bloom With Grace

A few days back I left my office at about 6 o'clock in the evening and I was heading towards the parking. On my way, I noticed a plant called Tacoma with beautiful yellow flowers. I immediately took out my phone and took the above picture. This plant with beautiful flowers was very pleasing to the eyes. This plant was not planted there on purpose. Yet somehow it managed to find enough soil, water, and nutrients to grow itself. What are the odds that it grows up in such a tiny gap between the concrete pavers and a brick wall?  This plant immediately seeded a thought in my mind.  We often complain in our lives about not being in a place we desire or not getting things we wish for. Some even grieve throughout their life failing to realize that the life they had could have been lived better had they focused on different things. You are feeling you are not where you want to be, you are supposed to be somewhere else. Say you could snap your finger and be wherever you wanted to be. I bet

THE CONSTANT URGE TO IMPRESS OTHERS

A friend of mine bought an expensive SUV last year. At the time, I had asked him whether it was really necessary for him to spend so much on a car that he wouldn’t use that often. For which he said that everybody would be so impressed by his expensive SUV. For a year or so, all his posts on social media were filled up the pictures of the car at different places.   A year later now, when   I asked him about his car, he said that the maintenance and running costs are very expensive and that he is regretting his decision of buying an SUV. It has become a liability in his life. He further said that he should have opted for a smaller car that would have been more suitable to his city lifestyle.   Similarly, another friend of mine bought a flat couple of years ago at an expensive location in Bangalore. Although not big enough for comfort, it was very expensive because of its locality. I had told him that he should buy a bigger home which was just a bit further from the newly bought f
