It’s not easy to say NO.....
Its not wise to sit lazily when 'opportunity' is knocking at the door, its a good adage but it doesn’t take into account the fact that, what if opportunity is knocking at two or three different doors at different corners and you have just milli-seconds left to decide which door to proceed to before it stops knocking and goes away....
There lies the difficulty in predicting, what sharp turns can occur in your life, one is invariably confused regarding what lies behind which door and which knock should not be left unanswered....
Most of the time, we find ourselves bored stiff because of the mundane work(applies to those who think they are doing mundane stuffs) we are doing and apply for two or three things, thinking that even if one of them gets by your side ,we will feel happy and different. But the biggest problem which can occur is when these completely different chances knock in the name of opportunity at the same time and that is where the difficulty of choosing arises.
One might wonder what I am drivelling about, well its pretty much like this, I find myself bored stiff with my desk job(without any challenges, I think the room was sealed without doors for fear of any opportunity doing its usual knocking) and applied for a high level MBA degree and for the sake of the artist in me ,a chance in writing or directing with a theatre company, thinking even if one of the two comes my way , I can make up for the lull in my work.
Well for the entire period of six odd months, nothing happened, making me wonder, what happened to any of my 'luck’. Spent the whole time trying to hear through keyholes, just in case I miss out the sound of a knocked door. But little I realised that , one of the two courier guys were late and I landed up getting both the things with a loud thud on the door at the same time.
Now you realise, its classic situation of , you choose either of the two.... So its not easy to say NO to an opportunity as some might claim, no 'things happening' might be boring ,but two or three things happening together , will make you cry for loosing out the other.....
I hope I opened the right door, I am not sure what lies behind the door I opened, I just wish , there is no big canyon on the other side.....most fervently I pray that on the side of the unanswered door there is no big crowd waiting to cheer me up .
