training for ‘decision making’

Training for ‘decision making’

One Sunday morning I decided to go to see the historical places of the city. I got up early in the morning. I finished the morning routine works and dressed up neatly as against to my casual nature. That day I was little contemplative, thinking about the people who have made the history and laid the way for their successors. Meanwhile, the bus appeared just before my eyes. I rushed into it in the hurry. I found a seat next to a boy of nearly twenties. The countenance of his face was tensed. That poked me to delve into the conversation with him. This is amazing with the persons of the 21^st century. Their mornings are hardly enthusiastic. Bytheway, the boy vomited his heavily weighed heart. i got infected by his contagious disease of discontent. I started groping for words to console him but I failed and listened to him disquietly. I am reproducing his speech verbatim

“Here, I found every resource person brags about their expertise in their respective fields of teaching. I found it interesting. It’s not only me but my colleagues too discover the lectures soothing and musing. It helps them to control and tranquilize their breath.  These series of lectures start releasing melatonin in our blood and consequently many of us nod off.

Many of our trainers go  to the extent of saying that he is only ‘competent person’ on the subject matter. However, there is another set of such resource persons but are few, who open their magnanimous hearts and shower some respect to others by considering them equally excellent. They create their demand in such a way that we star believing that without their assistant we could not budge ahead. They say that people with the experience of twenty/thirty years keep calling them when they are stuck upon the complex issues. They claim that every day they attend innumerable phone calls and they happily respond to it, even some body calls at 2 am.

They are very much interested in distributing their phone numbers. It sounds so nice to us as if they are standing next to us all through the difficulty. This paternalistic attitude in-fact incapacitates us. It is damaging our system. In other way we are taught not to take our own decisions but to fall back on our seniors. This I construe, may be a gimmick of our seniors to spoil the system.”
