Would you like to be a blacksmith who hammers the iron into shape or be the iron that melts to form something new every time. Give reasons for your choice ??
Answers
Answer:
want to be both — the blacksmith as well as the iron .
Want to be the blacksmith in respect of others .
And want to be iron in respect of myself .
In fact , during the last 45 years , this blacksmith tried to give shape to different pieces of iron in different places either by heating the iron himself or with the help of others , but the hammer remaining always in his hand , and applying it whenever the situation arose .
And in doing so , this blacksmith transformed himself into iron to make himself available for different roles according to the need of the hour .
Thus he educated himself single handedly without any family support and obtained the highest degree with good academic performance .
And this achieved while struggling to eke out a living for himself as well as the family .
In the professional arena , his hammer ironed out many differences .
Found solutions to many a problem, when people, who claim themselves to be professionally highly qualified, couldn't think of .
Brought some sort of transperency in working in all areas directly under the hammer of this blacksmith .
Worked in perfect harmony with everyone , forgetting the inter- personal differences in status , hierarchy etc .
Led from the front — always taking the lead role and inspiring others to follow .
Wasn't at all afraid in taking decisions - thus avoiding the blame of bypassing problems which are common among officials .
Raised issues not everyone thinks of — earned the blessings of higher ups .
Locked horns even with the high and powerful when the question of integrity and interest of the organisation came to the surface .
Didn't pay heed to the threatenings and warnings of the high officials when it was against the rule and principle and common sense judgement .
People dealing with this Smith was wary of their actions .
Some wanted to browbeat and even to harm physically ; but had to relent .
The organisation must have benifitted immensely , in monetary terms at least as this blacksmith was always ready with his hammer to iron out the the wrong doer . But who recognises ?
At the home front , the same hammer and melting of self saved some souls to lead a decent life ; here also the hammer had to apply itself in making some rogue iron straight .
Life is still a combination of the two .
