The Story of Arjun
Arjun was a young man with a dream of clearing the UPSC exam and serving his country. Arjun used to blame everything around him for all of the problems he used to see like criticizing the country's unclean streets, the noisy surroundings, and even his own circumstances for his inability to focus and succeed. People around him started to see him as a negative personality, and their confidence in him waned.
One day, while he was venting his frustrations to his friend Priya about the less sweet coffee they were sipping, she listened patiently and then offered a piece of advice that would change his life. "Arjun," she said, "why do you keep blaming everyone and everything? If you can identify the problems, why not attach solutions to them? If the coffee is not enough sweet, why don't you add sugar to it according to your taste? That's so simple. You need to observe and realize the difference between 'To Look' & 'To Watch' the world.
And that was a moment. The hidden message got delivered. Arjun was struck by Priya's words. He realized that he had been focusing solely on the problems without considering the solutions. Determined to change, he started implementing small positive actions in his daily life. He began cleaning his neighborhood, which inspired others to join him. He got noise-cancellation gadgets to create a conducive study environment. Gradually, his perspective shifted from one of blame to one of proactive problem-solving. He realized if he can identify the problems around, all he now need to do is to bring up the solution along with and this changes the whole perspective.
A new perspective of 'Positive Approach' started.
