A PWS

There was a young man in his early twenties. He always felt frustrated about his life, his job, his speech. He always wanted to do something about it! One day, he read somewhere that if you can dream it, you can Do it! So he started day dreaming about all the things he wanted in his life. And boy, he dreamt like no one has ever done before! He started getting up late so that he could spend more time dreaming! He stopped focussing on his work as dreaming was more important! What if he forgets his dream ?

People tried to wake him up..People wrote mails to him asking him to come to communication workshops, asking him to get out of his bed and DO something but to him it seemed like it was all a conspiracy to stop him from achieving his dream...After all he is a pws and pws are intelligent!!

After all he is so busy with his job. How can he take three days out in this lifetime and go to a workshop ? No it is not possible.

And here he is, sitting on a park bench, in his mid fifties looking back and regretting . What if I had done the RIGHT things and not everything rightly ? How could I spend 30 years dreaming and still not see that it was not working ? Anyways let me DO it NOW!! and he writes a mail to TISA asking them to inform him about the next workshop..After all its never to late to start a new journey!!

--All the characters are real And if the story bears any resemblance to anyone alive, half alive, half dead, completely dead or any other state of being, it is no coincidence.

Hmmm- JP I told you a couple of things about myself and you turned that into a story? You might as well have given my name and address to this man!
Okay, you will be forgiven for this breach of trust, if it benefits some PWS..

On second thoughts, congratulations for being so creative! What this story shows, may sound tragic but is nevertheless true.. But it can be otherwise, just by our taking action, rather than just dreaming..

Thanks

Sachin and Sujit, actually it was the way I used to c how much life will end up ;-)
I always had this fascinating habit of seeing how may life will be when I will be 50 or 60. I will just use all the variables and project my life in future
Its a great tool and works for me :D

Great work JP! There is indeed a writer residing in you. Creative indeed !

After the thought-provoking Story of "The Boy", this wake up call came with a few facts which every PWS should stop, think... and act upon....

I happened to meet both the persons in person :) and it was memorable.

What I learned from 20yr old Currently 27yrs..), "if he can do it, so am I" and from 50 yr Old (No idea of current age :P), think positive & accept it as its a part of life which can be control only if u let is flow like water...
