Compromises
|
|

Without compromising,
one’s life will never be fulfilled…At all stages of life we do
compromise; from an infant to an aged.
When one year old, the kid wants a mobile phone to play with; ends up
getting a toy mobile, she has to compromise with what she gets! And she is
very much satisfied with the toy, for she knows if not this she’ll never
get any… Smart kid right!!
When 11, she would have
asked for a bi-cycle to her dad for all her friends would come to school
cycling together.
|
Her dad would say “Dear,
you’re just eleven and you’re too young to be on the road all by
yourself.… In 2 years papa will surely get you a new cycle… until then you
will continue going to school safely in the same van along with your
friends.”
Her next compromise…
she’s happy that atleast she doesn’t have to walk to her school though
just 2 streets away.
When 13, she would get back to her dad reminding him on his promise
and he would smartly reply “Dear, your school is just two streets away
and I’m sure you can have even more fun by walking along with your
friends too”.
She again compromises and enjoys her days walking with her friends to
school.
When 16, it was time for her to choose her group. Dad says “Dear,
today computer science is the most valued group and I want you to take
that” before she could even stand up to him and say “Dad, I do like
science but I have no interest in computers.” she had already been
selected for that group. Successfully but unhappily completed her
Junior college too!!! Now time to move into college… choosing the
degree that one wants is one of the toughest decisions to make. That
too when its non-professional, its worse!
She wants to do her under grads in Physics but her dad said “Dear,
doing a professional degree is valued more, so pursue your engineering
to have a bright future!” So she compromises for her dad and his
concern about her future… and she starts with her professional course.
Now she goes to her dad and asks him for a 2 wheeler so that it would
be easier for her to go to college. Dad says “Dear, you need to
understand… we’re in a financial crisis and my income is just
sufficient for our daily living… I’ll get you one once you start
working”.

Being a big
understanding girl, she compromises and completes her Under Graduation
with all laurels! On completion of her graduation, she starts working in
an IT industry as her dad wished for. Well placed through campus with good
income. She continues to be an understanding girl at home helping her
family when situation calls.
NOTE: Till date she hasn’t got her 2 wheeler and as a responsible
member of the family she prefers to be without one.
Its time for her to settle down and matrimony is all that’s pending
to complete the settling. She gets married as her parents wished though
she wanted to pursue her higher studies. Compromising isn’t new for her!!

Wonderful guy and a
supporting family is all they wanted and was fulfilled as per their wish.
Her marriage life was very smooth and she extended her family with a baby
girl. She compromises from the name of the baby to the selection of the
school she has to study…
All she wanted was to make
sure her child does not compromise at any point as she did. She wanted to
give the best to her but still this compromising is a vicious cycle which
was transcended to her daughter too. Though the same story repeats for her
daughter, as a parent she realizes why her parents made her compromise.
Parenting and being hard on kids isn’t that easy!! This is what she learnt
and what the kid is doing is compromising for his/her better future… so
they don’t lose anything!
Every coin has 2 sides, similarly the other side of compromises; from the
parent’s is also there, be it from the simple life they lead to their
sacrifices for the betterment of their kid. Thus taking life as it comes
and compromising on certain things doesn’t do any harm to your future….
Compromising should be only on certain things w.r.t luxury or for people
who deserve it! One should not compromise on their ambition and goals…
they have to strive hard to achieve their destiny and no compromise would
ever block such an achiever!!
The above is just a glimpse of what many go through…The example that I
have taken; I’m not able to classify it as a fiction or non-fiction; So
guys do compromise on this and take it as a random thought!!
