An eyeopener
I got a mail today from one of my co-worker passing me beautiful story which actually moved me. Especially this is an eyeopener for people who manages small/big teams and sometime forces/abuses/criticizes on the people/team member who got stuck in a problem in any one or more small unit of work.
We sometimes became very very demanding to others and simply unable to or reluctant to understand the difficulty, never bother to care to think twice. This sometime really hurts people, demoralize them, team breaks, unity breaks and so on….Please read this story below, I am moved, it sure bring some good change in your vision.
<Story Starts>
The train has started moving. It is packed with people of all ages, mostly with the working men and women and young college guys and gals. Near the window, seated a old man with his 30 year old son. As the train moves by, the son is overwhelmed with joy as he was thrilled with the scenery outside..
” See dad, the scenery of green trees moving away is very beautiful”
This behavior from a thirty year old son made the other people feel strange about him. Every one started murmuring something or other about this son.”This guy seems to be a crack..” newly married Anup whispered to his wife.
Suddenly it started raining… Rain drops fell on the travelers through the opened window. The Thirty year old son , filled with joy ” see dad, how beautiful the rain is ..”
Anup’s wife got irritated with the rain drops spoiling her new suit.
Anup ,” cant you see its raining, you old man, if your son is not feeling well get him soon to a mental asylum..and dont disturb public henceforth”
The old man hesitated first and then in a low tone replied ” we are on the way back from hospital, my son got discharged today morning , he was a blind by birth,last week only he got his vision, these rain and nature are new to his eyes.. Please forgive us for the inconvenience caused…”

And certainly I do also write his comment below:
The things we see may be right from our perspective until we know the truth. But when we know the truth our reaction to that will hurt even us. So try to understand the problem better before taking a harsh action.
