What is that?
I got a video forward recently from one of our family friends, Mr. Sriram with the title “What is that?”. When I watched it, I could not resist writing back to ask his permission to include the video in my blog.
He replied that his friend from Rallis India was the one who had sent it to him and deserved a mention. Since I had problems loading the video file, I decided to check out if youtube had the same video and yes it is one of the most popular ones with over 1,206,340 views and shares a “5″ start rating by 3077 people.
Patience seems to be a diminishing quality in most of us as we grow up and become an adult. We want peace and quiet when we return home from work forgetting that we were kids too. We cannot repeat an instruction more than once to a colleague and start complaining. When a new hire wants you to teach him/her the task again, we term them “incompetent” and send them back to the HR department. We have zero tolerance to customers requests and call them “Strange”, “Difficult” or “Not possible”.
We get restless when we have to wait – for a bus, at the dentist, in the middle of a traffic snarl or even for the rain to stop. Nothing’s gonna change by getting upset or emotional.
