Lets start somewhere

From past few weeks I had been thinking why the change is so difficult to produce results. Well, it seems change in itself is not difficult but the process and the initiatives are more energy consuming. I was looking at a report where a eighty year old gentleman had planted 10 thousand trees in his life time. The whole city is thankful to him. The inspiration that can be taken from this man is, his will to go on even though not much change was visible to him. He was telling the reporter that when he first heard that the reason of climatic change is deforestation, he knew that he should do something. He was not like most of us who will mock, criticize and discuss the relevant issues and then forget. He moved beyond with a spirit that someone has to do it sometime.

We as human seem to feel that I don't have time, its not right time for me to do and what can I do. Well all these questions arise due to a mental state of non leadership and laziness. Today kids and adults take courses to improve leadership skills and public interaction but they forget that standing in a class of 20 students and speaking, or doing a project, may not be real personality development. The real personality is developed when a person performs on ground and even though the performance may not be great importance it generates an inner confidence. This psyche also enables youth and even elder to understand the surrounding and their concerns. The positive aspect of such creative work is the sense of achievement which helps in eliminating depression and other mental tensions.

I see my nana jee, and one thing I always notice is is activeness. He keeps up with doing something or the other even at this age of 84. The positive feature about it is, that you don't feel alone, you have a reason to exist even at old age and a high moral spirit that you still contribute. These factors are very essential for even the senior generation of country.

All in all, even senior people can start to do something which is useful and beneficial to society than to think that its too late. The question then comes is what to do. Well if you are a graduate then you can start some tuitions to some non privileged students with out fee. If you are motived for plantation drive then get associated with some NGO and try to volunteer when you have time on weekends. If your education lets you help in some kind of infrastructural help then you can do it.

All these things happen with the help of some organization which have already found the problems and working on it. May be you are a loner and then you can start to do things from step one and may be you will form your own organisation.

But doing a little bit helps everyone. Work is the best friend for all.
