attendance

While we don’t like being poked in our personal lives and individual areas of concern, but we end up doing the same in others life, be it intentional or un-intentional.

It’s difficult for us to define the limits for self but too easy to point limits to others. How often have you bumped in into a conversation without even knowing the origin of it? How often have you laid conclusions to analysis that you never made? Or situations you never practically experienced.

I have been the part of same folk until when I realized that it’s good to be quiet at times and not jump onto conclusions.

Here comes the incident that taught me the lesson; it was my first experience to attend the RWA meeting of my society and I was already with my concerns and to share it all, to define processes and give suggestions, but as I stepped in I stopped myself and preferred to keep my mouth shut realizing that I am being a part of the meeting for the very first time and hardly any-one knows me, all I did was convey my regards and listen, be a quiet listener and not give my views at all, it’s only then that I realize how important it is to get yourself acknowledged first before you think you are welcomed. Analyse and mark your presence, presence is not always marked for what you speak but also by how you behave.

Silence doesn’t mean absence but it is one of the simpler way to mark presence; difficult to follow though
