Ass U Me

OLA! The one thing that I wanted to do incessantly was blogging and blogging I did! Honestly, i t was all happening in my mind. After a long gap and a sudden burst of energy at 2 am I am going to bring all the "crazy alone talk" to the more acceptable and understanding internet :)) The title of this post is "assume" the age old cliché about 'making an ass out of u and me' has never ever been so true as it is today. The truth stares at me and pokes me and urges me to spill the beans. You see I belong to the people industry; simply put the business of selling people to people. OMG! that makes me a sound like a pimp.... NO! I am a recruiter, my expertise is people, we find the best for the best, get you that perfect person, perfect job.... blah blah blah.... but I love this job. It has truly enriched my life. I have seen such idiots that they have set a perfect example of how-not-to-be! Since I have the ultimate privilege of observing and working closely with a lot of people and I don't like honest work; I get cheap thrills by stealing from people!

Yes, its true I think I've met some of the best people who were kind enough to teach me so much through their actions. I have stolen their knowledge, their experience, their ideas that work and applied it to my life and its awesome ;) People's mistakes tend to be more preachy than the right things they do. I also observe behavior keenly like some self proclaimed shrink that doesn't get paid. Main observation - People are always assuming. Assuming in relationships, at work, assuming about life, accidents even inanimate objects! Assuming about the future, making detailed plans for the next 4 years.... its focking crazy. Look at me getting all self righteous. But, I'm so trying not to assume, I do it too... a lot in fact. When a friend doesn't call or talk for some time it's always that she's probably pissed at me coz I probably said something I shouldn't have. How do I call her? What do I say to her? Will she talk to me? OMG forget it, I'm not calling her... she should call me. Reality -The friend was sick, needed help! I should've call her.... But I regret that now...

It gets even worse with the people that don't know how to put words to their thoughts. Everyone can express, expressing your strong opinion without offending someone is an art! It's an art everyone should and must learn, it is the most important investment of time you will ever make in your life! I had the most amazing ex- boss who would do this so so beautifully that after he spoke I was always left open mouthed... but I closed my mouth quickly and tried to steal from him too! The solution is to always put yourself in the other person's shoes and act the right way. Most of the time we are too obsessed with what we want and proving a point. Giving people the benefit of doubt, being more understanding and open about your true feelings will definitely make more friends and people will flock you like bees to honey. Then you pick n choose haha! But the point is investing time and effort in those relationships that have "apparently" cracked. Is it worth it? Yes it is, it pays back ten fold no twenty fold. When people turn around and change the whole world is bliss, you're at peace, you feel amazing, OMG this is amazing I think we discovered to solution to the world crisis. STOP ASSUMING NOW! Communicate more.... communicate openly, share your fun and amazing true inner self with people, it's a whole new world waiting to open to you! :D :D
