I am

Feeling yourself, imposing yourself, letting yourself being heard, perceived, analysed, praised, et all, has being the greatest of human needs. If not the foremost. But is it coveted? Or is it righteous to desire it? Debate continues….

When you are brought in a setup, you want to control it, bring it under your authority. You want your decisions to be implied, accepted and all those positive feed-backs. And when the same happens, you are the happiest person on terra ferma. You walk with head held high, and sometimes with your fist tight. Then comes a time when your undertakings are the only thing being implied, and set into motion. Giving you a sense of satisfaction and fulfilment. But what if the reverse happens? No one listens to you, to your suggestions,…then what?

Your ego is hurt, it’s like something wrong is being done. Like hey ‘I’ know it, ‘I’ can do it, give it to ‘me’. I and me comes into play. Crushing you internally, you loose your appetite, sleep, you stop doing everything you liked, and ever did. You half heartedly abide to guidelines presented by others.

So what is the correct way or module? The debate again puts ups its head. To be or not to be? Whether to come up in every space or to back off often? Which way the correct, which lane to choose? One makes you to be an self-centric, the other makes you an ‘walk over’ carpet. The decision is rather the middle path, the centre lane, the one which is blend of both. This compromises on both fronts, without diluting the quality. As you can see I no where near giving an apt answer, because that’s the way it is in the end; no one exactly know what to do? But it does depend from individual to individual. Because if you think that ‘I am’, then even the ‘others are’.

Well everyone wants themselves to be heard, everyone thinks they are intelligent and almost always right. It feels good when people listen to you. But to be a good team player and a leader, we must listen to others too. Everyone likes fame and adulation, the more the merrier. Everyone in a team has an ego which needs to be pampered. Everyone wants their share of the limelight, their 15 minutes of fame. It is how you manage the egos of everyone that matters. It is an art to be everywhere and yet be nowhere. Sorry for the lecturing, but thats what I have learned from my experiences.
