We
always hear about vitamin ‘M’, we learn about 2 P’s to achieve success, 3 A’s
to achieve certain goals etc…. or something like that! I don’t know how far
these alphabets turned abbreviations matter, but I found 3 C’s in the same line
of thought.
3 C’s - Conversation. Communication. Connection. to
maintain many R’s, i.e., Relations (Relationships) in life.
Conversation conveys thoughts, Communication confirms the
intake of the same at the other end; and Connection turns out to be a result of
proper give & take of thoughts. It’s not a very great philosophy as such,
but I get surprised that people are moving away from these C’s.
I feel sad about it when a friend tells me that she doesn’t
get time to even talk to her husband throughout the day. They don’t have dinner
together… they don’t spend a few minutes with each other. The reason can be
anything. In spite of having kids, in-laws or many other errands to finish; no
human can be so busy to have no time for a few words with the ones whom he/she
is living! People are getting habitual of pretending to be always busy. Busy
with what? Work? It’s good to earn money, but not at the cost of your own
family, friends and your loved ones. Today world has become so fast that it’s
practically not possible to meet people physically… but that doesn’t mean one
can’t stay connected with others.
The earlier generation (folks who are in their late 60’s
now), many couples were working & still were able to manage things. Kids of
my generation grew up & doing well today! Stress level wasn’t the same
those days though; they were running behind basic necessities for their family.
Today, the stress level is quite high… but most of us are running for
extra-comforts – rather luxuries! Earlier the fight was for survival,
now-a-days it has become a fight for better & even better life… which is a
never-ending fight! It will be just passed to the next generation & that’s
it!
As they say – money can buy you a bed but not sleep, we
(that includes me too !) should try more to get good sleep & not just huge
costly bed !! So let's go ahead with good Conversation, better Communication to
stay in Connection & keep many R's through these 3 C's !
Cheers!
