How I am different than you...

The other day I was working on a test report in Microsoft Excel, when I realized how fantastic this tool is. Being a performance tester I feel ‘Excel’ is the best thing I have as it is extremely helpful while preparing reports, data, and much other stuff. I use it on daily basis, but that day I explored some interesting formulas and functions in it, which massively reduced my work. I was very happy that I come to know with such fantastic things which make our work so easy. I eagerly told Priyanka, my friend/colleague that “See, what I have done. I applied some innovative formulas in Excel and prepared some macros, which is very much helpful.” She also liked and admired that. Whole day I was cheerful that I done this, but suddenly a thought popped in my mind… ‘I have explored the Excel may be only 5%, still I am feeling so proud. But there is much more to be learnt which I don’t even have idea of.’

With that single thought a train of thoughts started driving in my mind…. ‘How that person would have felt who created this Excel. He would have been flying in the air. But Excel is just a small thing, what about Microsoft Office.. Keyboard.. motherboard.. processor.. And bla bla bla…

Oh my God…!  It’s too complicated to even understand how they work. But again all those complicated things have come out of a human brain. A Human, who is same like me, with same kind of two eyes, two hands, a nose, a head… He didn’t have big or different shape of head than me…No. Then what was it which made him able to create such a big difference. May be its ‘realization of his abilities, the power he possess inside.’

We have progressed a long way since ages. Many intelligent minds contributed in this growth, in every aspect of our lives. Few of us are popular, rich, called as celebrity and others are common people. What is that thing which makes those few people uncommon? They will be known even after their death, they have already acquired a Wikipedia page for themselves. They have same looks like the crowd, but can be discriminated from the crowd.  They haven’t done different things, just did the things differently.

I am also different than other human beings, not just look wise, but by nature, choices, passion. Then how can I make that big difference. Is it the only routine of my life to wake up, get ready, go to office, earn money, shopping, eating, sleeping….?


And the thoughts chain goes on and on in the battle of my mind…Sometimes I get fed up of these thoughts but they don’t live me alone ;)
