He was working in one of the biggest software organization in the
world. The product in which he was working was supported in different
platforms - windows, linux, HPUX and solaris. He was working on linux
and HPUX part of it. His friend Kala was working in linux and solaris
part of the product. She had more experience than him in the
organization and in the product.
When there was an opportunity to work from abroad location for a short period on this project, the manager choose him instead of Kala. He told his friend Kala that it should have been her turn rather than him to go abroad. She just replied with a quote by Vivekananda - No power in the universe can withhold from anyone anything they really deserve. He started to believe this from that time.
He got a very good exposure in his trip abroad. There he was working with a good friend Prithiv who always believes that We cannot call anyone stupid just because we do not understand them. Interacting with Prithiv he understood this. He was able to relate that in every instance of his interaction with others. ie, Everyone would have a reason for their act and we cannot call them stupid.
After his return, his manager took him to Kala and told her that he will be leading the solaris part of the project. Even though he has not worked anytime in solaris the manager made him the lead. Kala asked straight after the manager has finished, "How can a person be a lead without any technical knowledge on the product". He remembered the quote which Kala told him before. You will not get any recognition/ reward unless you deserve it and you will get it for sure if you deserve it. So he was able to perform without any guilty consciousness / expectation.

My hearty Congratulations for the He! :)
ReplyDeleteNice touch da... I hope everyone who reads it understands it completely...
@amu: thanks from He..
ReplyDeleteIt's Great Philosophy, written in great way to understand simply..
ReplyDeleteBut need more power to realize at some situations..
@librarian: very true!!
ReplyDeleteI get that kala envies his professional advances. But it also seems like kala
ReplyDeletemore deserves so I guess the story is not in line with Vivekananda's quote? Or should this be interpreted as kala did not deserve any of this in the first place?
@anu anni: Yeah.. The story only gives one angle (product experience) but the fact may be that Kala did not deserve abroad trip due to other reasons which He and Kala are not aware off. since Kala believes in Vivekananda's quote, she did not try to find the unknown reasons but accepts as it is. And no envies - both are two independent events.
