Cross a bridge when you come to it...


Cross a bridge when you come to it...  In reality , we will always cross a bridge when we come to it but do we really live with the reality ???

our parents , especially mothers are classic examples... Man!! she was always worried , irrespective of what happened...
when we were born - she was worried that we should be of good health for 10 months,
when we started walking - she was worried that we should get into a good school, 
when we were in to school - she was worried that should study well ,
when we were in 10th std - she was worried from 8 th that we should score high ,
when we were in 12th std - she was worried from 11th that we should score high, 
when 12 th results were out - she was worried that we should get in to a good institute, 
when we studied college - she was worried that we should get a good job,
when we were working  - she was worried (this time cleverly)that she should get a good daughter in law,
when we were married  - she was worried that we should have healthy child soon,
when we get a child - she again starts worrying for our children like she worried for us ....

Hell! she worried all the time , all through her life... I do not mean that she worries 24x7 , yet she has something to worry when she is not occupied , she occupy herself with the worries...

Take a case , she worried for our studies...even if she was confident on us for scoring 100% - she will worry that we should not get 99%. if we get 100 % - all the time she spent worrying is waste and importantly it has caused great mental agony for nothing... if we get 10% - all the time she spent is waste again , and she has got enough time to worry after we have failed. Irony is, we never worried when we failed - thats a different story.

The anxiety of what is going to happen is the reason for the worries because she did not wait for a bridge to come..

Said about our mothers but do we cross a bridge when we come to it ??? 

Kalam Ji asked us to dream , but what all do we dream... 
we dreamt of hitting a six of the last ball like Mianded - even before we learn to play cricket, 
we dreamt of having a beautiful girl like Katrina - even before we were 16,
we dreamt of having a Hummer like Dhoni  - even before we start to work ,
we dreamt of many things which were to be censored... and what not...

if our mom has something to worry and we got something to dream... in both cases , similarly in all cases , we always wanted to cross a bridge , before it comes...
We should learn to live with the reality ,we should deal with a situation when, and not before, it occurs, and we should cross a bridge when we come to it...
