SO, WHERE DO YOU STAND IN THIS CROWD???

There are so many human beings present on the planet Earth but every time i gaze around, I find, each one of us living in our own small customized world. Our world consists of
---- PEOPLE ( as in, who we are blessed to be with (
by god’s grace ie our family)OR the one we admire( ie to be like) OR love to be with( numerous people fall into this category for different reasons like work, studies OR just for HANGIN’ around) OR people who are so lovely to be looked at ;-) ),
----THINGS( as in, the things that belong to us ( may be, phone, i-pod, Play station etc etc..) OR things which we want to belong to us( as in, BMW, Lamborghini, Microsoft Corp.(NO OFFENSE ON THIS NAME PLEAAASSSSEEEEE!!!!))
----BELIEFS( it’s something that makes you stand out of the crowd…something that you THINK and BELIEVE IN…something that you want to see actually HAPPENING(
it’s better that u understand it by now as I dunno, hw should I explain you the word “BELIEF”, it’s just so……AAAArgh!!!)All I know is that my beliefs makes me as unique as you must be and I just stick to MY beliefs unless I am proved that there’s a better way, which is a rare case ;) )

Earlier I used to think that my life( what so ever) is because of my decisions and my decisions were so because of my beliefs. AND GUESS WHAT, I WAS SO WRONG!!!
The actual flowchart is--- BELIEFS-->CHOICES-->DECISIONS-->so called, LIFE.
It’s not just the case with me, it’s with each one of us. Our decisions define our life or in short, define us , where as, our decisions are so because of the choices that we make. ( You can choose to be a victim of failure or can choose not to commit the same mistake again
;))

Consider these two incidents(
BOTH OF THEM HAPPENED IN FRONT OF MY B*$@# $ EYES):
INCIDENT 1: Few kids were laughing and decided to talk to a foreigner sitting next to them. They actually talked to him for a while and then in usual casual fashion started using the words which they shouldn’t, taking advantage of knowing a language which is, an alien’s language for the poor foreigner. NO BODY stops them and just walks around thinking; how ill-mannered these kids are?
INCIDENT 2: Few kids were laughing and decided to talk to a foreigner sitting next to them. They actually talked to him for a while and asked him questions like, “What is your name?” , “ What do u do here?”, “ Which country you belong to?”, “ Do you like our country?”, etc etc etc…Those kids couldn’t talk to him in perfect English( which is supposed to be THE UNIVERSAL language now) , nevertheless, each question they asked, made me feel so proud( I saw something like that for the first time-I hope it explains, why I was proud =) ).
IN BOTH THE CASES, belief may be the same but choices and the decisions taken so forth has changed everything.

These are just two small incidents. There are many more happening around the globe and many of us are either the participants or the spectators BUT all we read/listen about is racism, bad behavior, mishap etc etc. To such incidents, Optimism is the first casualty. Trust me, Good incidents are also happening along with the bad ones. Why don’t we choose to praise the good ones, to promote them and make the world aware about them as well?
SO next time ask yourself; Where do you stand in this BIG crowd??? What makes you Unique??? And try and choose a better or beautiful LIFE…
