Busy Bees.. Be careful before U say !!!

Software Engg Business man
One day friend of mine came to my home and gave me a book. He asked me to read it and he said, he will collect the book two days later. Once he left, I just kept the book somewhere and didnt even had a look of it.

Two days later he came to my home to collect the book and asked me, how is the book and what did you like about it. I cant say, this one is good that is bad because I didnt read it. If I say also I would get caught cause he would have definitely read that book. Puzzled what to say, I was thinking in mind then I said I was quite busy with my work.

Actually I am not busy. Those two days I was playing cricket in the morning, went to movie and small chat with my other circle of friends. But I lied to him, “I am busy”. He was generous and humble that he didnt say anthing about that and asked me to return the book.

When I returned the book, he asked me to read just one line from that book. Do you know what line it is ? “Only dead bodies will say I have no time and I am busy”. When I read that line, I was guilty with myself and felt like being slapped by him.

Then he continued to say, “Top business man like TATA & Ambani and many more are doing multiple business. When they have time to do that, Where are we ? What we are doing ?” I myself doing only a single job and saying we are busy”. He then said, “Today how many are reaching their office by 9 and if they reach @ 9 how many are start doing the work immediately”

He then questioned me, “Do you want only the petty things(like movie, IPL or chat) in life or want to achieve your dreams. If you really want to achieve your dreams what step you have taken to achieve it. He then narrated a simple example, a caterpillar can become a butterfly only after more fight to break its own coccoon. Otherwise it wont be able to fly”. Same like that we have to face challenges and over come it.

From that moment, I gave priority to time to do something important. Also stopped saying “I am busy, no time”. If any work has to be done by me, I will try my best to do that rather than saying it.

Note: This is my personal experience and I am in no way offending anyone who read this. Just give a thought and think about what you are doing right now. Thanks to CH1Blogs for helping me to share this info.
