Once upon a time,

or

Rather, once in my lifetime,

There was a teacher,

Who used to say,

As you grow old, you will begin to think that you know it all (KIT),

With more success that you get,

You will feel, it’s all because of your hard work,

You will believe that you are knowledgeable enough,

Trust me, what we end up doing in our lives,

Is a consequence of lot more factors than what you think there are,

And in doing so, you might begin to act arrogant,

Without you realizing that you are doing so,

So, when you do become successful,

Just take a step back and give what I said, a thought,

And by doing so, you will probably not go down that path!

Few amongst us might not realize the significance of this,

I didn’t, when I was starting my career,

But I learnt it the hard way,

Probably, the relevance of this is only realized when you face it all.

Some food for thought, haan!
