Every territory however bound or
unbound is governed by a set of laws. What one must always remember is that the
unsaid laws are often more stern in nature than the ones that are clearly laid
out. While entering a jungle, it is very important to be cognizant of the laws
of the jungle and be as abiding as one’s inherent candor may permit.
In my opinion, I believe that
most millenials have a basic understanding of the above since we watched varied
versions of ‘Mowgli’ growing up. I think the mind has thrown this analogy at me
today, since I believe there are quite a few parallels that can possibly be drawn
between the two wild arenas, the tame woods and the wild corporate jungle.
Mowgli was an unusual boy; he was
born in a situation which literally spelled out a different chosen path for
him. To him the ideal world was one with a shrewd and aged panther, a wise and
conniving python and a knowledge filled Grizzly Bear mentor. One of the pros
that he definitely had in his life was the lack of a parallel world he could draw;
to him the woods were the world.
People also say ‘When in Rome, be
like a Roman’, but must one forget the original essence of the soul? The
analogy of the fittest surviving through thick and thin is also an interesting
one. In a world plagued by competition, do we end up discovering different
facets to our own personality? Shall we term this as modern evolution, the
ability to be a chameleon without the true understanding of my true blue hue?
While one can step out of the cocoon
with the realization that life will no more be mollycoddled, must one expect
flying axes coming one’s way and react in an unperturbed candor? To adapt is a
virtue, but to be completely lost and out of the given path can be quite a
bane. Water flows effortlessly essentially, but the climate can lead it to a
stationery state of being and with the passage of time when one becomes like an
iceberg, only a gargantuan Titanic set against it can make the picture a
romantic one.
The ultimate question to be
answered is, till when must one construct to constrict and when is the move for
disruptive disaster to be made?
