GO TAKE A SWIM !

The resort set in the serene surrounding of the hills made an ideal  place for training of corporates through board room ,and outdoor activities .

As I stayed a day longer to spend time out on my own ,I began lazying and looking at people who had checked in for the day .

Anne ,Ben and Carol were a part of 25 people team sent for a day of pure recreation from their organisation with no planned activities or presentations .

As I lay  cradled in the hammock  looking at these revellers a thought  evolved in my mind.

Ideally life is like this swimming pool .The shallow part feels the safest to dive ,but you are allowed to dive in the deep only .Imagine that on the surface at the deep side are some obstacles /challenges  .One can quickly dive and escape from under that to enjoy the whole pool.

There are 3 types of people like Anne ,Carol and Ben.

Anne the type of person- so headstrong in his or her views or opinion who tries to change the orientation of the pool.

Ben who decided that shallow portion was indeed the best to dive rather than take on the challenges.Swam in the safest part of the pool and enjoyed the pool.

Carol who studied the scenario and took some calculated risks and dived in the deep, swam below the obstacles and swam in the entire pool.

Usually the Anne’s are the disgruntled lot who want to change the whole system regardless of the time limits ,land up being more angry and unhappy with everything- but themselves.

Ben’s  prioritise ,know their limitations or set limitations for themselves and lead a safe and happy -usually a mediocre life.

The Carol’s of the world are the risk takers who weigh the pros and cons but do not  over analyse and jump in( some times land up being tangled in the obstacles) but usually find solutions to enjoy their swim on their own terms and conditions . 

Make up your mind before the pool closes and go take your swim!
