AN ARMY COMMANDING OFFICER TOLD ME TWO THINGS HE ALWAYS TELLS HIS COLLEAGUES WHICH REALLY STRUCK A DEEP CHORD

 AN ARMY COMMANDING OFFICER TOLD ME TWO THINGS HE ALWAYS TELLS HIS COLLEAGUES WHICH REALLY STRUCK A DEEP CHORD

He said ....

1. Everyday before you go to bed, fix your uniform and hang it up on the wall opposite your bed. 

  When you get into bed look at that uniform and ask yourself.... What happens if I don't wear this uniform and try to enter any army installation..?

  The answer is far from being saluted! You will be stopped at the gate and questioned!

  And if another person wears this uniform and walks past the quarter guard he will get a salute. 

  So the salute was not for you it was for the uniform hanging on that wall which made you what you are but remember it's not going to be yours forever! It will go away one day...

So, prepare yourself for it!!!

2.  Every day when you finish work make every one leave your office.

Get up from your chair, walk across to the other side, sit down and look at your chair.

There were so many orders you passed today thinking they were very important...

But tomorrow someone else will sit on that same chair and may reverse all your orders rubbishing them!!!

The orders you passed thinking you were an important person was actually the chair which was passing them. And that chair is only temporary! It's not going to be yours forever! It just gave you some temporary powers which will be gone the moment you leave the chair.

Use the powers given to you judiciously. 

Use it to write your name in GOLD.

Use it to wipe away tears from the faces of the less privileged in our society. 

Use it for nation building and not with arrogance to prove your superiority!

 May I ask you....

What are you using your uniform or chair for today?

   Are you using them to bring people down and show them where power lies?

   Are you using them to help friends and cronies even when it is not their time and just because they salute you every morning?

   Are you using them to divide and rule and create enemies

  What are you using them for?

   Remember the person today you are using your uniform or chair to destroy may be the one that will tomorrow supervise your child, nephew, niece, grandson, granddaughter, stepchild, your sister or brother. 

   How will you feel if same is repeated on all these people?

   Think, my brothers and sisters, think. For you do not know tomorrow.

   Use your uniform or chair to promote the betterment of all.

Be a father, mother, sister, brother, a friend to all. 

Be an honest judge.

Hear all sides of every story.

Fear your creator. 

 Hate none, love all. Remember, Tomorrow is unknown. 

Good morning. Share, because it might help someone.
