Life never ceases to teach new skills. This is a real sequence in the course of a day that left an imprint of a wonderful life skill. It’s age perhaps that moulds in one’s maturity and interpretation of good and bad happenings.
A normal day at work for everyone it was, for me however it was a day after a minor surgical procedure I had gone through the previous evening. As a single female in a busy city life there’s hardly a soul who can spare a moment to reflect what it’s to manage such a situation by oneself. But it was done and dusted with help from a dear student of mine.
It was pretty obvious that next day I was in some post operative pain. But I decided to brave through the day like all other coworkers. Not trying to put up an excuse for leave I was happy to complete my official commitments. Later as I sat down I conveyed to one of my supposedly close friend at workplace about how I managed the day. The reply came life a bullet from the barrel “This is no credit. Don’t expect me to do the same”. I realised that if you are a boss you better not talk. Some people have no respect for hierarchy, friendship or good will nor empathy for a friend.
These are friendship lessons.
