TRANSFER SUCCESSFUL?

We start our life in the Primary care of our Mother, followed by the Father and then the siblings and close relatives.  Our play partners as an infant have no age barriers.  The young and old, the relatives and neighbours, friends and passers-by, turn play partners.  We then get into school to learn.  The journey of learning formally lasts about 16-20 years.  Then the struggle for suitable job begins.

 

The pressures of the Jobs, the politics, the sacrifices to be made to achieve economic and personal objectives and goals, all begin at the same time.  Life takes a new turn.  The wedding adds more spice and responsibilities to the life.  Children are born to the blessed ones and more responsibilities enter the life.  Many of post marriage responsibilities are often duties of a spouse/parent.  The responsibilities and duties towards our parents continue.  Life begins to be move into a stressful zone for most.

 

There seem to be no relief to it.  The duty of getting the children married, taking care of the Grandchildren, etc, the list goes on and on and the journey continues in a different phase, style and mode.

 

This is common for all.  But in each one’s life from being an infant to a grandparent, there is one thing common in this materialistic world – Transfer.  At every stage of life Transfer takes place.  

 

As an infant Joy is transferred by people around you by making you happy and smiling.  At school, the Teacher transfers his knowledge.  At home, the Parents transfer the values and culture.  Friends transfer the Trust.  In Sports the teammates and coach transfer the knowledge of teamwork.  The Tutor at professional and co-curriculum courses Transfer skill sets.  At work, the Seniors transfer experience and the Management transfers Money.  When you get promoted at work, you begin to Transfer your Experience and Skills to your subordinates.  Once you are married, the spouse transfers Love and affection. You do the same.  When you blessed with Children, you transfer Happiness and Joy to your Child.  When the children go to school, you transfer the Values and Culture.  

 

The Cycle continues and you are on the path of Transferring what you got.  From knowledge to Wealth, everything gets Transferred.  Through this wonderful process, one gains Wisdom.  Now one understands why they say Life comes a full circle.

 

If you are found wanting in any of the areas, do not blame anyone.  It is just that the transfer did not complete successfully.  Among all these Transfers one need to invent and reinvent happiness.  Happiness is truly a state of mind.  But the state of mind keeps changing at every stage of life.  So, happiness also needs to be unearthed from the pile of responsibilities and pressures one has to go through in Transfer process.

 

Transfer process is easy for some at some stages of life.  These people relish it early.  For some, the Transfer process becomes stressful and heavy.  There comes a stage in everyone’s life where Dual Transfer Process takes place.  One has to get something transferred from others and at the same time Transfer it back to one’s below you.  

 

The Process of Transfer never halts. Many lessons are learnt in life during the Transfer process.  The Transfer process only allows you to be prepared to face the tough questions of life.  In life the biggest lessons are learnt only after the Test is over.  Check if your Transfer process is successful and going in the right direction.  

 

Enjoy life but do not undermine the importance of the Transfer Process.
