Leech & Sponge

A few weeks ago some one wrote to me in a apologetic tone expressing his frequent queries on various things in life.

The youngster was trying to get a bit of personal info about my personal commitment to reply all possible queries shot at me.

He called himself a Leech, said was trying to suck every possible information that used to come his way.

This query transposed me to a Lecture session by Prof. Prasad at IIM-B. The specific session appraised us about the varieties of people in the Corporate /Real world. One among the Types was a Machiavellian, a typical One way traffic. Machiavellian uses others for personal gain & in the process makes others to hate him for what he does to others to get his way out.

The Immediate thought was that of a Sponge. I suggested the same to this youngster, asking him to Meta-morph himself into it.

Sponge According to me is non- emotional, yet helpful. It tends to absorb what ever fluid that moves out & hold on to the same to the end of its limits. Upon being squeezed it gives out the same fluid out.

The Sponge in our daily life epitomises Support & Comfort, with out making any noise of being around.

The Sponge effect according to me is to gather useful information, support etc. & then give out/ use the same as & when needed.

In short a Sponge is a true selfless being.

Motivation: A action of the past

Motivation is some thing from the past. The Actual avatar of real time motivation is "Internal Awakening".


Motivation has a threat. It can be always be faked. But the power of internal awakening is simply intangible. It more like the Giant Awakening.

People Don't change because some one wants them to, but change because they want to Change.


As the Awakened Giant turns sort of unstoppable, the internal Awakening too recharges the person to do what he/ She considered impossible just a few days ago.
