Who You Want To Be? The Dean Asked On The Graduation Day!

 

Life doesn’t come with a rule book of what you can or cannot lay your hands upon. We decide our own boundaries and sit in a time-box created by our own beliefs. We bustle about without having a clear understanding of our goals. Fred, my friend has lately enrolled himself in a certification course on philanthropy which has been his dream. As a young lad he never got a chance to prioritize his desires. He is a retired Vietnamese war veteran in his sixties and now he realizes his dreams with enthusiasm.

Whenever I sit with him at the pub post work, my hopes to learn something new and challenge myself to stretch my self-created boundaries get renewed. The zeal to constantly recreate the spirit of Graduation Day excites me. Lately Aaliyah and I have enrolled for a Tap dancing workshop. We come out bubbling with high-energy after each class and laugh about the uncoordinated movements which resulted in stepping on each other’s foot. We are giving a good competition to the young lads out there who are fascinated to see us sway with the music holding each other.

Having a good life isn’t so difficult. It all depends on our choices. The choices depend on one basic question that we must ask ourselves, who we want to be? Sometimes decision making becomes challenging because although we want to opt for ‘A’ but we get stuck in ‘B’ because of the secondary gains it has, because we fear change and even because we get trapped in our comfort zone. In that case we must ask ourselves, who we really are?

I remember few words of the commencement speech delivered by the dean of my university on my Graduation Day. He said, “When you leave here today and begin the next stage of your life, do not get lost in the world’s perception of you. Create your own story, be a perpetual learner and never give up on yourself, do not expect the world to be fair but and don’t let that rob you off your goodness.” He questioned us, “what are you all looking for in a job, explain in a word.” Most of the graduates answered, “Stability!” He asked if you had enough money in the bank and time was also not a constraint, what you would do. Silence fell upon the group and suddenly there was clarity as the secondary gain was taken away. I thought to myself, I would be a student of life and pen down my thoughts to share amazing insights about life and make it a huge celebration. Here I am following my heart and the rest has been taken care of. Everyday can either be a drag or a fiesta. So choose well. Learn new skills. Enjoy more.
