And your rewards are few.
Remember that the mighty oak,
Was once as small as you.”
The thought has been rightly put into words by an anonymous poet. The message that the poet wants to convey is, perhaps, quite conspicuous. Today, in this world, every one is running after something respectable and reputable work, that is, something very big. A person fears to be left behind in this era of ‘cut-throat’ competition in every field. Each one of us tries our best to get into something that is not ‘self-satisfying’, rather making you superior in the society. But these hunts for self-gain have created many spoilers. People have become corrupt. But that’s another thing. The worst trait a man instills in him is jealousy and envy which are the roots to the other negative attributes in one's character. These two evils have got the capability to deviate a person from a healthy life to an injurious one.
I don’t mean to say that these two atavistic traits are meant for only bad, but there have been hardly any cases where they have turned to be good for one's self. I won’t deny that it does encourage a person to do something better in order to equal those who are good but it would only help if one takes it in a positive approach. So, this is what I think about this whole idea of small and big job. I think one should remain happy in whatever he has or he possess. He should not ‘crave’ for ‘more’ but for his own ‘betterment’, by fair means of course. One should remain nonchalant and try to get more but not at the cost of others. And I believe that if one thinks this way, every one in this mighty world would live happily and joyfully.
