Just after I got up in the morning by 6AM on 6th January 2009. For the first time after a long time I felt very weak mentally,physically and quite lonely. I thought am I giving my 100% to myself ,my health and when dealing with my friends. Later I realized shouldn't I review myself how good I am with people. The best person to ask is to your enemy or ask your own self. In both the cases you will land up arriving at the best answers.
I was always excited about the concept of being a gentleman. I have come across many people in my family,friends and co-workers and many have turned out to be exceptionally well in their own behaviour and attitude towards others. I certainly believed some traits which needs to be followed by anyone to be termed as a gentleman and remembered as a good person even when you are not nearby. If some one is telling good about you in your absence then in that case you have been a nice guy.
I had always felt within me that I still lacked that spark of a true gentleman. May be one day I will be able to get to that state. If somewhere within me I am feeling good , every one will surely feel the same about me. Because charity begins at home. Just stand in front of the mirror and ask how you should be. I am sure you will get some wonderful answers. If you are able to follow these answers then I am sure one day atleast not all but many people will appreciate you in more than one way.
Even I asked the same question to myself standing in front of the mirror (small one..ha ha ha). "Hey mirror what do you say???" Truly I was surprised with many answers which I still feel that I need to have mastered long back. Its ok..It is rightly said "There's never a wrong time to do the right thing"... I just thought of sharing my answers with you...
I was asked to be more helpful. I was stunned to get this answer.How come!!!, I have always helped everyone whoever was in need. I never thought of money or time or goods. But still my mirror said I need to improve this quality. It may be right,I need to look into this from now on. I promised my mirror that I will be more helpful to everyone than before.
I was ordered to be more Kind. It said that if someone need to succeed in his personal relationship with anyone he needs to be kind to him. I need to practice kindness with whomsoever I meet. I was taken back "Am I not Kind". There needs to be kind word and words of appreciation flowing from me towards others as a perennial river.
I need to be quite honest and trusted by others. I can just say sometimes I get carried away by the gossip of others and make unwanted notion upon others. Wherever I go I need to be trusted by people. I have to make myself and hold myself in such a position that they should even trust you for their life. I will strive hard to get the trust of others by being the best of myself towards him/her.
I need to be courageous and patient in solving any issues. It doesnt me if I am staying alone and working with some bunch of stangers I have the courage and patience. It means how I can handle the daily situation without grumbling and patiently handling the people involved in it. You cannot staight away say you are courageous if you can walk on a lonely road or hit a huge man. Courage comes in how to walk the road of life with ease by walking with the people around you. Till now I was feeling I was courageous. Now I realized how moron I was.
Someday sometime everyone will make some mistake or the other.It is the attitude of a genuine person to forgive him/her and move on with him/her. If someone forgives someone then the anger and bitterness towards someone will vanish and he/she himself/herself can lead a peaceful life with a huge heart.
Surprisingly I looked in my mirror after having a small conversation with it,it had taught me the basic things of how to be a pure and a nice person. I can just say whatever a mirror says never neglect that. I am sure whatever the mirror says will always be true if you think very deeply. I hope your mirror gives you a right answer for you.I got my lesson from my mirror...What about you...
I just realized it just wanted to say...Can't me be a better Son...Can't me be a better Sibling...Can't me be a better Friend...Can't me be a better Employee...CAN'T ME BE A BETTER HUMAN...
Moral : Follow what yor mirror says.
