It’s better to stick on to positive people than the negative ones who make our lives miserable.I was reading a post by famous Oslo blogger Saroj. She mentioned about how her son was advised to wear spectacles and everyone was blaming TV, computer etc.
When I was doing my degree, I found difficulty reading the board. The doctor said I had a power of -1. A neighbour reacted: “Oh God. One? You are blind.” It came as a shock and I was shit scared for several months. Thirty years later my power has not crossed 6 and I have had no difficulty handling life so far because of specs. That idiot spoiled several days of my peace for nothing.
Contrast this with the positive ones. I was scoring poor in my school days until my English teacher Prem Dulari stepped in. While others chided me, she kept praising my skills and encouraged me all through. That made a huge difference and I landed a job in the top newspaper of India.
At least, we can try to say cheese 24/7, even if it’s tough at times.

I am wearing -5.5, it started like -1.5 when I was 15yrs, now it has become part of life, I never thought of it!! Cheese Ramesh.

a very similar incident helped me live some days of unhappiness after being reported that I would have to wear specs..
ReplyDeletegod forbid such people..
some people enjoy making loud noise out of nothing....ur poor neighbor
ReplyDeletesome people knows how to make an effective loud noise...ur teacher
What a feel good post! I am happy to share that even in my case, it was my English teacher, Mrs. Shahida who brought a big change in my life with her encouraging words!
ReplyDeleteI also read panorama's post on specs...n there I mentioned that I made a zero number glasses cos I love specs a lot...now it makes me look so intellectual (I have always been, but never looked so...lolzzz)...n I look like a lawyer (yeah, someone actually gave this comment which I took as a compliment)..
ReplyDeleteits a simple and very potent truth... the power of positive thinking!
ReplyDeletegood.. When every one arround you is negative, it is the English teacher(of other gender) who makes the positive vibes!
ReplyDeletehehe..yea i am also havin specs now..i m pretty much comforatable..especialy while riding..for me its more comfortable than while riding without spec. :-p.
ReplyDeleteWe should do what we think is good for us.Strating to give ears to others,then one can spare one's times only for that.
It scares me the way people react when I tell them my power. It is scary. But I guess I can live with it!!
ReplyDeleteIs Prem Dulari for real??? what a name..am sure you had a major crush on her!! positivity from whichever source including Prem Dulari is welcome!!
ReplyDeleteYou are right, one must keep such idiots off.

These negative people get some thrill, hurting others. We have to stay away from them! Your Hindi teacher is the best!
ReplyDeleteDeepavali nal vaazhththukkal, Ramesh!
Completely agree! In the past year or so, I have made it a point to disengage from negative elements. Doesn't help anyone really! :) Life's better :D
