LATE BLOOMING
“The future has a way of arriving unannounced.”
George F. Will
Years ago, during
our Public-speaking sessions, Mr. T.R. Ramakrishnan, our senior-most
instructor, would motivate young ones not to give up trying. He would emphatically
tell them: “My dear young friends, some flowers, always, boom late; but, remember,
they give the finest fragrance.”
Sitting amongst our young ones, I would feel so
optimistic about my own life… I had been a late bloomer myself. So, I knew how
true that statement was!
Soon, I wrote and published a small book by
the title – ‘THE LATE BLOOMER’. It was loved by so many readers, both young and
old alike.
REFLECTION:
In life, there is no need to be anxious about
our growth or development, looking at people around us. All of us, here, are
supposed to grow in our own gardens, and at our own time. And, yes, when we do,
we all spread our own special fragrance in this world. Mr. Ramakrishnan, our Sir,
would call that fragrance – ‘The Finest Fragrance’.
