Soaring among eagles

"One man’s meat is another man’s poison…”

I have met so many people and continue to meet more people every single day of my life. I read somewhere that what makes every single person unique is not his/her looks, his personality, his background, etc. To be as superficial as that is akin to looking at a ship in a vast ocean. Instead, one should realize that what we are is constantly being molded every single minute in our life to the minutest detail thus disallowing the possibility for identical twins to be identical in any way.

"We are our own universe and meeting a new person is like a unity of two galaxies.."

It’s that deep – but only if you try to see it. Today a friend of mine brought me to his company’s dinner event. There I met his colleagues who have a common passion in their job. “How do you know?” you ask. When asked “How’s the job?”, the best ones have a certain conviction in their voice, a pierce in their gaze, a stance to their pose and an aura to their presence.

I finally met his boss that I’ve been hearing about for a long time. (To which he replied, “All rumours..” and smiled.) Such humility for someone who has achieved what I’d safely say eighty percent of the population has not achieved in their entire working life. He has changed two Porchés, currently has a Maserati(go look it up, and you'll know why I brought this up), has his own bungalow and is only 31. Says a lot, doesn’t it?

I have a supreme regard for such people because they know what they want, how they are going to get there and most importantly why they do what they do - also known as absolute conviction.

Irealized the importance of choosing your group of friends especially if you’re the type to mingle with the same group of people day in and day out. Choosing wrongly would be like getting a wrong prescription and could lead to grave consequences(if you watch House enough); Whereas the right pills can only bring you to greater heights and nothing less.

Argue as you might, there is no denying this fact : “Success breeds success..
