What happens when

I was watching some short clip, put up by THE GREAT Steve Harwey and one of them read , "No body told me that they were proud of Me " .

And THAT has left me thinking..

That is.. some particular time when he had not made it big, or perhaps when he had, YET there were this bunch of people who did not want , to admit this FACT, to themselves, or to him..

Well they had their own issues .

Whatever , pointing fingers and highlighting others mistakes and failures do not wipe the GOOD they do and not admitting ones own mistakes or failures , do not WIPE them either.

People may not choose to talk about this aspect of this PART, in person, but they would disscuss this, behind your backs. WHY ? else the carpets they receive or are laid for them, the FANTASTIC food they are served, would not be served next time. Sigh !

What are success stories about ?

Success stories may be sometimes, THOSE also of making lives of people, good, better and best around you. You may lack a sack that Santa Clause has or the wand of a fairy .

You have to be the GIFT the WAND. You do not need some make up , or a costume, but you may do everything that is possible, to crack some jokes naturally to make the other smile.

If you know someone does not eat two spoons . Keep ten dishes so that person has one of each and you are sure atleast ten spoons are consumed .

These NOBODY OR SOMEBODY could have been instrumental in making a jewel by cutting stone or carving in the right way.

Gemstone is just an example. It can be an effort , in minimising the pain out of ones life too and prolonging it when the person perhaps has little hope and also sticking a kind expression showing it is routine than some out of the way gesture.

Getting that person to be to as normal as she is or was during his or her best performing time as a person he or she was used to being . So much that the person is independent and mobile again if not going out socially. 

I too thought, I do not need an acknowledgement just a self realistation . 

That is what, got me thinking , that perhaps I am not a failure, as a person at all. Only not anyone else but I have to tell me looking into my own eyes.

When we read articles on leaders, that one quality we just tag them with is perhaps a good one 

So and so

Dynamic

Another 

So and so 

Kind

Some people might just see the blemish, some may put a good tag. It doesn't matter what the tag is. 

But if one cant make life of someone heaven, or better, atleast we shouldnt be the reason of getting tears in eyes of someone, who has made lives of several people not just better, but have also made them smile 😊.

It is like picking up someone from muddy dirty waters and taking them so high, one may feel they never experienced any muddy waters .

We have a song in Marathi 

Which has a line

माझ्या कडे देव माझा पाहतो आहे

So like our Dada Pandurang Shastri Athawale said ( " All the good the work we do, all the accounts are maintained by God ) "and also by Nature. He will embrace you for the same if not any one else. 

We should retrospect and see the WHERE we were never there, where we should have been, and WHO was there and ask ourselves may be we can lie about things everywhere, but as one of my friend had said, " can we lie to our own selves ? No we can not.

Summing up , here I remember in many of his shows, Steve speaks about so many years, he spent in his car , without a house. He also mentioned and thanked the first person who gave him an opportunity to put up a presentation as a comedian.

Now ofcourse, we know he has an empire and he is one of the richest celebrity globally known and widely loved for making everyone smile . 😊
