In
one of my previous posts, I was saying about the FDP (Faculty Development Program)
in my college. Today I got something to share with you. The FDP program made me
get a valuable gift .Let me tell the story. It was on last week.....
That
day one of my colleague was taking a seminar on the topic “Luck”. She had
explained some interesting things about ‘luck’, and finally there came the time for making comments. I got up myself and faced the audience to make a comment. I
started with congratulating her for taking such an interesting topic. Then I told
them about the book “The Monk Who Sold His Ferari”, by Robin Sharma, and continued
like this...
‘In
that book, the narrator of the story,John asks the central character Julian, “what
is called ‘Luck’ my dear friend?”. Then Julian replies, “It’s nothing more than
the marriage of preparation with opportunity”. As we see, preparation plays an important
role in life success. When opportunity comes to a person, who is prepared, he
can take the opportunity. This is what Julian Mantle considered as luck. So, if
the luck knocks an unprepared mind, there is a high probability that, he miss
his opportunity and misses his luck. So to be the lucky person, we all have to
be well prepared ...Good luck to all of you’.... I stopped saying like this.
Then,
the next day, the Mechanical Department HOD(Head
of the Department) asked me about my
interest in reading, and about the type of books I used to read. He looked so
impressed on me..
The
next day, he called me in his department, (Me belongs to Electrical Engineering
Department), and gifted me something..You know what was that..? An “e-Reader”...
Kobo e-reader. I was so happy and excited on seeing that. I also wanted to get
one like that..and God is great! I got it as a gift.. I thanked him so..much
for this wonderful present. I asked him , whether I can show this to our
Principal Mam..He said “Oh..yes, go on..”. Then I showed Mam, and she said a “Wow!!”,
and Sir explained why he had given me this gift.. Mam said “Look, how happy she
is!!”..She was right.. I was so..so..happy..
Have a look at my new e-reader..
