A SPOONFUL OF SUGAR HELPS THE MEDICINE GO DOWN

He puts his head down on to the pillow and eyes gently closed , in an attempt to forget the bygones , a moment of rest . He envisions a film strip , rather unmatched scenes. Tick - tock - tick - tock the clock goes and screams out at six in the morning. He springs out from the bed , runs for a wash , get himself dressed and drives fast as possible to office , gulping a big burgher along with. Entrapped in payrolls , collections , counts , direct calls , messages , sort and file records he drives back home annoyed and distressed. This is a very common drama seen today in every person's life. The 24 hour , technologically connected life is appealing and helps achieving targets more easily. Yet we experience  a lot of negativities . Food and shelter are rather unfocused. Life today is all about earning as much as one could , giving more than you earn and nurturing kids. Thus more energy and drive is been asserted on earning purposes. Heavy schedules and long hours of work is causing stress , not only for those employed but surprisingly the college students too . They are been often crippled by assignments , mocks , exams and many more. 

" The work is killing me " ,  this is  an ordinary slogan that many of us come up with when we reach a point where we do not want things to be done any longer . Ironically if we think for a second , things we complain about mostly are things what we wanted to do sometime back. This above said expression of weariness and anger is more likely to be a result of impatience or the lack of tolerance. Today the  traffic jams , computer crashes , crowded buses or  waiting to see a doctor makes us see a red mist . It's tragic that we people aren't made to see the beauty in things. Instead we always search for the false  or the ugly among the beautiful. We have never learnt to appreciate things instead criticize over trivial things or others mistakes. We hardly find people who are positive in life who could even enjoy the bitter moments. Embodying the negative , that you've failed or that the job is tiresome does nothing to improve us. We are living at a time where hard  work is a must to cherish the journey. They say " pain is gain". Therefore one should not ever let the fear of striking out keep you away from playing the game. Life is short , why not be happy with what you do ?

In every job that must be done has some element of fun. It is just that we people always fail to find and snap it. A robin feathering a nest will have little time to rest.He will have to go finding for every bit of twine and twig to build it. Many distances he may travel , pretty tiring and abhorrent. But would he ever give up just because the task is hateful ? No. Very keen in his pursuits , he will move with his merry tune , doing the nest while tooting . He knows that the song will move the job alone. 

Honey bees are very active creatures as we all know. They will fetch nectar from flowers to the comb. Has any of you seen a bee resting a second ? they are never tired of buzzing ever to and fro. The secret is that they will nip from flower to flower , enjoying its tenderness . They will not  try to grab the whole at once because it will be a humdrum , Instead they'll suck inch by inch and hence they find that their job is not a grind.

If animals could enjoy their tasks why not the man ? We should be having more possible and better ways of twisting something hard to a piece of cake ! . Less than a few hours of our day we could enjoy the view , the beauty around us. Take a risk and try to make everything you want . Meet people , talk the past , talk the future , persue the moments , sing along while at work instead of sitting back and saying " it is not the right time to do it " . One should not oversize the work he does where as be organized in life because good systems will make work easy as fluid. Consider work as fun and not something malignant because it will help to achieve targets comfortably just like a spoonful of sugar would help the medicine go down easily , making the  healing process  faster!
