During my career as a journalist I have met scores of people who have made an impression upon me and I have learnt valuable lessons from very many people who have crossed my path.
One such person was a co-passenger during one of my umpteen journeys.
I don’t remember much of that journey which took place almost a decade ago. I don’t even remember the name of the gentleman. But I remember something which he told me and which stuck on to my brain forever:
" As a creative person never lose the ability to look at things from different perspectives. Remember there is always more than one point of view, even when you believe yours is the right one.
" No matter how strong your belief is about something always remember that there are more than one way to look at things and those other ways might be right.
" Life is multidimensional. And so is all that we see, hear and say. Above all it is so much fun to look at things differently from what is the accepted norm.
Even today, I never fail to look at things from different perspective. SO much so, it’s become a habit of mine and I quite enjoy doing it.
In fact, I never get bored waiting for people, because I occupy myself looking at things around me from a different perspective –like this image. This is how I saw a glass of water as I was waiting for a client to arrive
