Being True....

Yesterday my brother got married,a happy event and also some of the touching moments in my life.I want you to know those moments with this blog.

My brother's marriage was going on and all of my brother's friends along with me were enjoying it.All of them are settled well in life some doing jobs in big companies,some pursuing their higher education and some doing their own business except for one guy whose age is 31 but doing nothing.He was very happy and was enjoying my brothers marriage to the fullest.I know that guy from my school days as I used to play cricket with my brother's team.He was a great fielder and we used to call him Jonty Rhodes.

I want to tell you some incidents of yesterday so that you can get some idea about him.We all went one day before of the marriage and my parents came on the day of marriage.My parents called us and we need to pick them up to our room.That guy and I went on foot to pick up my parents who were waiting for us in the car and we got into that car.Usually I dont remember routes and also that guy was there so I did not even try to remember.We started to go to our room and we went in the other lane and that guy was getting confused.He was getting so tensed and he was feeling so presurised to find the correct lane and that time my uncle called me to know where we are and after that phone call he was feeling more tensed and my uncle was telling the address but somehow we got into the correct lane.When we went to the room my brother's friends were making fun of him for not remembering the route and getting confused for the minor things but I know that how hard(real hard) he was trying just to find the correct lane.Not only this when we used to play cricket he used to dive for catches like anything and used to feel a lot if he misses the catch.

I dont know if I could able to completely describe him to you and even if my description is perfect I dont know how you are thinking about him but when I look at that guy the one thing that comes to my mind is being true, being true to find the correct lane, being true to dive like anything for catches.But the most saddest part is he doesnt have any work to do, he doesnt have money, he doesnt know what to do in his life and people make fun of him for not getting married at the age of 31 and make fun of him for forgetting the lane.I bet, the people who are making fun of him are far behind him in terms of "Being True" but they are smarter than him and are well settled in life.

These are the moments that I want to explain you and you might be thinking why I am putting this story of "Being True" in this entrepreneurship blog?Because when I was going through all these incidents I was questioning myself what can I do for him so that he can do the things without any doubts on himself.Then I thougt If I give him
some work which is simple and repetetive and pay money for that, wont he do? Ofcourse he will do it and he will do it with the same amount of passion which he puts for finding the correct lane and diving for the catches but can I do that at this stage, not just me can anybody who has same opinion about him do that?Here comes the words Entrepreneur or a Leader who can just give him some work and who can tell him doing work is nothing but just finding the correct lane or diving for catches.I bet he will do wonders in that work.

He was tensed, worried and may be trying to help.. He could have helped himself and others if only he had the willingness to ask someone about the lane.
No matter how hard you try and how true you are, as long as you are in the WRONG LANE you dont deserve any sympathy.
