Face Off


To all you Bankers out there...how many times were you sitting with your non-bankers i.e lucky friends at a restaurant...cheque comes...you will split the invoice..being a banker you are naturally expected to divide 470 by 6 without the slightest problem and when you naturally fail and reach out to your mobile calculator, the non bankers start making fun of you and wonder how a banker is not able to solve the slightest mathematical problem like 470 by 6...
what is the natural answer??? you gyus don't know a thing being a banker does not mean we use our minds...what are calculators and excel sheets for?
Truth is we eliminated our minds..technology as much as it facilitates stuff it lead us to being lazy...from calculators, to pcs to even the TV that you switch on in order not to think get your mind off whatever...ok to cut it short WE DON'T THINK ANYMORE...
What brought this? ok just an article made me think...Gosh that's good...the idle organ lying inside my head is finally being used..
The article was called " Discovering the real me is quite the nuisance" Google it if you like Khalij Times May 07th issue...
If not, then let me summarize it, it's about the value of discovering the inner you..
Seems like there is an industry out there helping people to dig deep in order to discover hidden stuff about themselves...their unmasked selves!!
Good idea...is it not?
Well, not according to the article; it says ok so you visit that shrink pay sums of money to discover your real persona...What if you don't like it?Your real and true self?
You spend years trying to hide/tame/work on that old person and you managed successfully to turn this person into you..."assuming you like you ofcourse" and it was not an easy task...and after all these years of hard work you get to meet that old buddy the old you...whome you gave a complete make over to and surprise surprise you dont want to be that person, but too late you freed the genie in the bottle!
What a battle
Ok that was more or less the article.
Now me:Right, we work on ourselves..to be tougher, less tensed, more this less that etc...and you are kinda okay with it this new you gets you thru tough times, he stands by you...
As for me i dont really know how much i changed if any..oh yeah i became less trusting or so i like to think actually i am still stupid old me! Is this sad or what?
Change is necessary..not changing is pathetic coz life is nothing but a series of experiences and if these (whether good or bad) don't change you...then you are an idiot
So i guess knowing that you have evolved is good, comforting and unless the new person is a complete jerk you'r better off now life lead you there..
How that article lead me to think? Dunno the idea was interesting...do I want to know my old me? To start with is there a new me? What are the corrective steps? etc.etc.etc...Forget all that it's just an interesting article
