Duty on Time


This can be a followup to my previous post - "Bringing Some Smile."

I could mainly understand why many of us don't seem to dream bigger and aim higher. It's really not that we don't aim for the sky; in a country like ours where we still struggle for drinking water and get wrinkles by power cuts, only such issues seem to be our primary concern and not the sky. Well, I'm really not an usual blamer of the politicians and the government bcos they can be blamed forever until either our attitude towards them changes or they change their attitude themselves rather than only looking at the altitude they are at.

It's when someone lacks a basic necessity it becomes a need for him and he thrives to fulfil that need - and at such points, the somewhat bigger needs become goals and the more bigger ones become ambitions. Never to wonder when people have dreams of getting into public transport buses that arrive on time without loads of passengers who really look like testing their arm caliber on the window rods by hanging around the door. What more? Education becomes a goal when it actually should be equal to drinking water - at reach for everyone, properly used, and not wasted. There are still lots waiting outside government treasuries, employment offices, municipalities, corporation, and anywhere you could happen to go for a cause. One real cause for the long wait is definitely lack of duty on time. When we wish that our goals be fulfilled at some point, we often are compelled to take a longer and different course to reach them and thereby fulfilling other not-so-real goals. 

I can't forget the days I waited for a bus to reach my workplace on time; every nite just thinking if the bus would arrive the next day though late. What I really should've been thoughtful about would be my work target at office, which I couldn't give a thought itself - but I was only pondering on how to reach the place. This would describe how necessities become goals to a certain extent and so imagine the state of getting bigger.



It wouldn't be good to ask someone to do his/her duties bcos they should be knowing what they should be doing, but not doing. With due respect, I'd better perform mine, as usual, on time so that the ones seeking me don't wait and aim smaller. If everyone doesn't forget his duties, I hope the cycle definitely changes, thereby everyone doin their duties. So let duties be done, as they are supposed to be done, on time. Let everyone aim higher in thoughts and goals.
