What would be your answer if I ask what was that one chance you lost and you bet if you had got then you would have been someone different from today?
This happens often a lot, we all look back and regret for something because we didn't get chance. In our lives, we all seek that one chance that we regret later. But how often we look back and see when did we have given someone or something that one chance to fulfil their wishes of getting chance in their lives.
Here sharing my personal experience, I went to parlour to get waxing done, there were two people, one was the woman who own the place and other one looked like a little girl of age group around 16-20 and I could assume looking at her she should be here to learn the work.
There had been one more customer who was there for threading so main woman was busy with that she guided her to switch on the heater to heat the wax to clean up my arms and put some powder so it becomes easier to wax as there would be no sweat. As guided or as she must have learnt in there she put the thin layer on my arm to test if my skin is not sweaty and is ready for the wax.She tried to pull out but it didn't work, Meanwhile the woman became free and asked her that she will do.
The woman started with my arm and got it right and gently did it.When she was about to done with my one hand, suddenly there came one more customer for threading so she left me with that newbie girl, she started from my leftover arm she seemed nervous like she was may be handling any real customer for first time.She was trying hard to give her best.She put the wax on leftover place and pulled it in wrong direction,it did hurt.No hairs got removed, then she again put the wax on the same place and did it wrong one more time and it started hurting badly then.Then I saw my skin there, there was big blue patch and my arm was all red because of pain.
I got hurt,it was paining badly and even I was so angry to shout on them.But I did nothing mentioned above, I thought what if I have learnt something and did it wrong, what if I haven't got my chance to do it right next time, what if someone had not understood that It was just a mistake not my identity.I smiled back at that girl and told her not to worry,it's okay it happens with anyone who is new.You don't have to be panic.Seeing me saying all those things, even the owner woman didn't scold her for doing such big mistake with the customer.
They both said sorry to me several times even asked me to pay less and visit them again.I refused to pay less and promised them to visit them again as it's no big deal she is newbie she has to learn from real things. Nothing could be your best lesson except your mistakes.
I just realised in that very moment, we should often give chances to people in our lives, mistakes shouldn't be their identity but always have your mind open while giving chances, it's your call to judge whether it's a mistake or an intentional act.Never let someone use your kindness.
Your single action could change someone's life. Good deeds always get return to you, even it didn't get return you have such a wonderful feeling in your heart that not everyone carries in theirs. Your one single given chance could open doors for others to do great things in their lives.
Think of people you didn't gave chance to, how many times you scold waiters to drop of something, you scold your drivers to arrive late, you scold your maid because she broke a glass, you scold your juniors at work or any point in your life you gave up on your relationships/friendships just because of mistakes and just think of your life examples. Apart from this also think about the times when you desperately wanted the chance for something and you didn't get and then analysis yourself where you stand.
If this blog reminds you any of such situation, it's your time to get started with giving chances.
STOP SEEKING,START GIVING.
