59.0 Why You Need An Alarm? Fighting For Alarm: The Samurai Way

First of all, I wanted to say Sorry...I could not work on my blog for the last couple of weeks due to busy schedule. When I was looking at the views per day also, I saw a difference. But I did not have a good time to work on a new article for you all. I could allocate time. But there should be a relax mind to come up with a good article. I was not in that status, and finally, I could not write a good article for about two weeks. So, this would be the last article for this year 2019. As today is the 24th of December, now you may don't have a good time to read this article due to a busy festival schedule. But you can read it later. I hope that you all will come back to my blog and read the latest.

 

I wanted to bring some memories of something that you hate, but you cannot avoid it in your life. I know that you wanted to throw it away for millions of times. But you did not do it yet. Same here. I also wanted to break and throw it away out of my window. But still, it is with me. By looking at the topic above, you know about this terrible and supportive guy. Lol... Most probably you may also have many stories to share as all of us cannot wake up in the morning without the support of an alarm.

 

I would like to start my alarm story from the very beginning. My mother was my alarm when I was a child. As you all know the very first alarm ringing sound is low and it gets increased gradually to the next levels if we could not react to it.  But my mother did not have this setting and her sound consists of high volume from the very beginning. I could say that it is a scream and she always thought that she could not wake us up with a morning greeting. She was right. When she asked us to wake up in the neutral volume, she had to come to our room for three to four times. Finally, she scolded us and it was our morning greeting. Lol...

Sometimes we begged for a few minutes. But it was not possible with this alarm. It reminded us of our to-do list also. However, this was pressure for the alarm too. One day she did not remind me continuously and let us wake up at any time. I think on that day it was enough for her. So, we also slept peacefully without trouble. But I did not go to school on that day. Lol… So, it was a memorable day for me in my school era.

Sometimes my father came to wake up us when my mother could not handle the situation anymore. He was different and he did not scold us. Instead of that, he gave warnings. However, it was a powerful strategy, and we could not ignore his warnings. After moving to that boarding house for Advance level exams, I missed my parents. They could not phone me in the morning as we did not use mobile phones in those days. If they need to contact me, they had to call the landline of the boarding owner. So, they did not need to trouble her in the morning.

However, it was not a big deal in the morning as the other's sound was a reason for me to wake up. Nobody could sleep once they wake up and after switching on lights in the room. So, I did not need the support of an alarm because of that crowd.

But all of us used an alarm clock to wake up early morning for our studies. Each individual had separate alarms to wake up at different times. Some of them studied till midnight and some of them wake up in the early morning. However, morning alarms were the most annoying and craziest things for us. It annoyed each other. Sometimes two to three alarms rang at once. The most amazing thing was everybody wakes up except the owner of the alarm. 

Therefore, that alarm switched off by itself automatically after snoozing for a few times. Such situations made us crazy and we blamed each other. We asked them to throw the alarm away if they could not wake up or switch it off. So, we threatened some of our friends. But sometimes it happened to me also. My alarm clock was annoying other's sleep. Therefore, nobody could maintain promises, and everything controlled by our sleep. 

 

As we did not have mobile phones in those days, we used different clocks for alarms. Among them, one of our friends had a clock, and it had an antique look. It was a big clock than the other's clocks. It was an old-fashioned clock and nobody know how to manage it except our friend. Though we criticized that look, our friend did not change that clock. It was with her till we left the place. She kept it in her bed. Once we blamed her once she could not switch off it on time, she kept it in her hand to switch off quickly. Lol...

One day we heard that alarm clock's sound, and as usual, it rang a few times. It kept snoozing and ringing without the interaction of our friend. As there's no stop I got angry and I wanted to throw it away. I wanted to slap my friend as well. So, I switched on the room's light. What did I see? I could not believe my eyes. My friend was sitting on the bed by removing some parts of the clock. Her eyes were not fully opened. 

Though I speak to her, she did not respond to me and she removed the parts of the clock. But it rings continuously. Once I saw this fun thing, I could not stop my laugh. Again, I spoke to my friend. Then she said that she cannot find the button to switch off. Lol...  So, she removed all the buttons to switch off the alarm. Though we thought that she would buy a new one, she used the same alarm by fixing things again. So, we gave a nickname to her and it was 'Elamaya'. 

Now most of us don't need a separate clock for our alarm as we can get that job via our phones. I'm using energetic songs, music as my alarm tone to enjoy it and hear it. Recently, I saw a Facebook post shared by one of my friends. It says that an alarm tone is background music for the dream she sees. Lol...

58.0 Shhhh... Listen! Do You Hear The Sound Of A Cunning Fox? The Cunning Fox Mystery.

I wanted to cover this topic with two articles. But it did not work. Still, I have some incidents to share with you all. Life Lessons! I hope you also would like to read such experiences. Sometimes it would be a lesson for you. If you can gain a good thing via my articles, it achieves one of my main goals. I know you also have much to share as a member of this society. If you can share your ideas, then it will be a help for most of us. So, as I mentioned in the previous article, you all can be contributors to this topic. 

Honestly, if I took the past incidents, I could say that my father's recognition was correct. He could identify the people in one instance. But it took some time for me to identify. When something happened only, I could identify their real face that has seen by my father before. He he he... My father pointed out the bad points of some of my friends by looking at a small action they did. But as usual, I did not have enough reasons to suspect them. I had enough reasons to convince the points that have pointed out as bad things by my father. In such a case, a few friends came for lunch at our home. 

Lunch Time! On that day, I prepared a small lunch for all of them, and our home supporter was not available on that day. So, it was a tiring day. So, after finishing the lunch stuff, one of my friends did not clean the plate that she had lunch. In the normal routine, we don't let the visitors do such tasks and it is not our expectation. 

So, it was my point, when my father was pointing out it as a bad of her. Furthermore, he said that if she is a good friend who has a long-term friendship history, then she is not a visitor anymore. As well as he said that, she did not think about the effort I put alone for their lunch. He said that it was a good incident to identify such people and deal with them accordingly. But I ignored his decision by thinking about the long-term friendship I had with her. Friends! Lol...

Tough Decisions! In this incident also, my father pointed out some cunning behavior of one of my friends. She was also a school friend, and sometimes she was like a family friend. He always suspected her talks and vocabulary. She unnecessarily appreciates small things. 

So, most of those appreciations made me happy. She appreciated every little thing without pointing out a single mistake. Sometimes she said "wow... It is nice" for some things that I have not to see any good. In such cases, I thought that she was lying. At that time, I thought that she did not want to hurt me. But I did not identify it as a dishonest quality.

Later on, I could identify her reality. Even though we were there when she wanted help, she supported our troubles via her nice talks only. Lol... In these two cases, the number of years that we all can maintain the friendship was my key reason to accept them as good people. It was a precondition I kept on my mind when I was working with them. Therefore, I had my excuses to forgive them though I saw the points mentioned by my father. And I did not want to hurt myself by accepting their bad. I think those were the two key reasons that I could not accept their badness though there was some sort of identification. If you have similar experiences, you know the complexity of balancing emotions you have with your friends and the reality that pointed out by your brain. Brain or Heart?

What is the Best Decision? Don't set up pre-defined decisions for friendships or anything. Everything will be changed. If you have such predefined decisions, then your brain starts making decisions accordingly by covering the truth. As well as try to accept the situation in the present moment. 

Don't depend on various factors. In my case, I depended on the friendship, the number of years of friendship, my feelings, etc.. Sometimes, their present behavior will hurt you once you accepted the current causes as it is without covering it by such facts. But, if you use the same strategy that you had to deal with them, then it will make you sad one day. It will happen either today or after some time. So, it is better to accept the present and keep such people in the necessary places in your life. Lifetime Friends? Are they exist on our planet?

So, those were some observations that happened among the friends' community. Toxic Coworkers! This also a good incident that I could happily share with you. In this case, my decision was more than 100% correct. On that day, we all had a session in a meeting room in our workplace. There were about twenty to twenty-five people. A few newcomers also were there.

It was boring like nothing and dragged hours and hours. As there was a small number of participants, we all had to concentrate on that session. So, it was the main pain. If I could check my social media stuff, then it would not be a headache. All of us were waiting for its finish. But it did not happen at the scheduled time. Boring Chores... Hah hah ha... 

Washroom Prank! At our table, there was a new joiner also and he said that he wanted to go to the washroom. But he did not come back for the session. We could not contact him as we did not have his contact details. So, he nicely went out.  At that time, he did not forget to keep his pen and the paper on the table to convince us of his return that never happen. Lol… So, when I was leaving the room finally, I thought about that strategy. He gave a separate image to us also. Therefore, I thought that he should be a cunning person. Luckily, I did not forget to keep it on my mind when dealing with him. It was the correct decision. Finally, it was correct, guys!!!

Apart from his cunning behavior, I think he taught a lesson as well. He pointed out that we need to make some kind of sacrifice if we want to get rid of some trouble. So, in this case, he forgets about his pen and papers. But I decided that action as a cunning thing and not an intelligent one. He was a Cunning Fox.

He did not have a reason to say lie to us as he knew that all of us were waiting to go. Therefore, giving a different view about him for the colleagues who were going to work with him for a couple of years was the mistake he did as a cunning guy. If you were that fellow, how do you manage that situation by keeping your good image with co-workers? When I was asked that question for myself, I did not have a need to go out till it finished. I wanted to participate till the end though it was boring. Lol... Lol... But what is your answer? What is Your Decision?
