Incapabilities!!
Posted on March 10th, 2009 by Kid
It takes a lot to understand one’s incapability. More than that, it takes even greater courage to admit it. Is trying hard enough?? Or you need to understand your limitations also. Why do some people think that not taking responsibility is a weakness. It is understandable that not everyone is capable of everything. But not everyone absorbs the fact that one’s limitation can be known to himself or is it that they don’t expect you to be that smart.
But when do you decide if it is your incapability or if you are only giving up??
If you give up today, you will give up any day!!!
Correct! I think it is easy overcome your shortcomings if you are not defensive about them.. best way to make everyone realise you are learner- with a bandwidth to grow is to say- i would like to make an attempt at doing this only if i could be guided through it.. One is expected to make mistakes in the process of learning and executing but gradually you will master it and then you can pass on that knowledge to someone else who is in the same situation as me. Move ahead but also make a pathway for others to follow…
I may not be master at everything but atleast I tried, should be the way forward!
Yes, agreed to your point.
But, the question is, how many times you try and fail. When do you decide that the job at hand requires something you don’t have and when you are simply giving up instead of trying harder??
So far.. I have I think the only time I gave up was when I was in Class 10th and I just did not get my maths score right.. I knew it then I can do anything but this, so after I cleared by class 10 boards I did not touch my math books again.. But even today if I have to do some work that requires calculations or basic maths, i do it but forewarn the person.. That I am not good at it, so even though the results are right please cross check for possible mistakes (so I have not given up on it completely).
The only time that you may feel that I am not capable of doing it is, when you try harder each time but not get the desired results ( it’s disheartening)..
But to tell you something honestly, i am in a profession which I wanted to give up with in a week of my taking it up. Incidentally I had made a verbal commitment to my boss that I will not leave before one year so when I told my dad that I don’t think this is my cup of tea and would like to leave it- he just told me one thing- you made the promise by choice no one forced you, so now live up to it. If you leave the job find yourself a new home as well..
So I stuck around and trust me it was hardest one year of my life ( worse than doing maths at times) and some days I used to cry but i stuck, slogged and then realized if I have to do it might as well learn it and enjoy it… After one year my boss asked me so what do you want to do and I said I am staying, I worked hard for one year and now when i am enjoying it I am not going to leave- its been six years and I continue to work in the same company. I joined as an intern and today I am one of the sr employees and YES still learning and at times do make mistakes…
Learning is always there. Yeah there are times, when we just try to make life easy for us by not getting out of our comfort zone. By not trying things that we may know that we won’t succeed or be good at.
Touche’..As true as it can be!
