Let me tell you something , I never watched Winnie the Pooh as a kid. Ummmm.. Let me rephrase that, I haven't watched Winnie the Pooh ever. I know the names of some of the characters ...Winnie , piglet , rabbit , tigger .. I know that Winnie is a bear and he likes honey....He wears a red shirt with no pants.....That's all your honor ! That is all I know about Winnie the Pooh.
Romans had social baths we have social networking sites.I would be lying if I say that I have never wandered to some unknown person's account to see his pictures or never read his wall posts or never been to the "About Me" section of his profile. I was passing time by doing exactly that when I came across this beautiful quotation by A.A. Milne :- “"Well," said Pooh, "what I like best -- " and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called”
Do you feel the beauty of the quote ? So simple , yet so deep.
The greatest moments in life are those of anticipation.The moment when you are waiting for the result of your exam, the moment when you are waiting in a small room for the outcome of your job interview , the moment when you are waiting in line for your US visa , the moment when you are waiting for the vacation which begins next week , the moment when you lay eyes on a girl and decide in your heart that you will one day marry her, the moment when you do propose to her and are waiting on a reply , the moment when you are pacing frantically outside in the hospital corridor before the doctor comes close to you and whispers ,"It's a boy !" These moments are unlimited in number and though the day you get married has a name , the countless days and nights you wonder about your wedding day don't .We would be so much happier if we realize that when things are not happening , these precious moments of anticipation are getting prolonged , if you ask any guy he will tell you , the chase is more fun than the actual relationship !
At the end of the day we return to our glass half full and glass half empty analogy. It all depends on how you want to put it.You may choose to feel bad about the fact that you still don't have your dream job or you may smile that someday you would be doing your dream job and till then just sit back and enjoy the application process.I mean think about it , the day Ted meets the mother of his children , How I met your mother is finished.
It it is up to us to put a positive spin on everything , A.A. Milne did . He even made separation a good thing by writing,''How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.”
