What some hobbies need for good achievements is an ability to make a fool of yourself. Stand up comedians, actors do a great job and win fan followings for this. But the real skill is achieving this w/o any loss of dignity.
You might wonder what this has to do with the photo above. Well I found this beauty left in a conference room by a green-thumbed colleague who loves spreading fragrance and color in our office through strategically placed flower vases.
I waited till end of day to take the photo to wait for my colleagues to go home and reduce the probabilities of them looking at me and making a mental note to ask HR to get a mental fitness evaluation report on me. However, as luck might have it - one of my colleagues did walk in on me trying to take the photo. At that point my brain was telling me - "You are the best person to evaluate what you are doing at any given moment, in any given situation. "
The desire to capture this rose's blooming beauty and my other eye left me with a beautiful thought that is the sum total of the gifts my life gives me daily:
Relish...your knowledge today,
for you have never known,
all that you do today.
Treasure...your ignorance today,
for never again will you be
Allowed to get through a day
Knowing as little as you do today.
