Grass ia always Greener on the other side...

'Human Wants has no Bounds....' - I think this is a very apt statement made by a keen observer. Have you ever seen around you or at least realised about your thinking.... I guess not a day goes by without the thought, 'I wish I could be in his/her shoes...He/She is having a great life...What am I doing...'. For humans by nature nothing is enough (even the sky is not the limit - there is boundless space beyond it), probably thats what drives us into inventing new things in life to bring about changes at what ever cost they come. For eg. if u give a child a chocoate the first day, then 2 the next and hence forth . On the fifth day if you give him 4 he will not accept it, he demands for five. Similarly is the case for any individual, they always want to see growth and and not accept ground realities that sometimes u can't have what you expect. This does not make us selfish or greedy ... It jus reveals how normal we are...its in our nature.

Why do we always look at the neighbours platter? - To Know that we have a better deal than him... How many times have we felt that XYZ friend of ours has a cooler job...or life than ours. Ask Mr.XYZ he will probably say that he envies your job and would any time like to be in your shoes. How wonderful it would be if we could change roles!

All I want to say is that, there is no point in brooding over what you have or you have got and thinking that the grass is greener on the other side. Think how you can improve the quality of grass on your side, how can it be made greener than the one's on the other side rather than trying to jump the other side because you will ultimately realise that the grass on some other side is better and greener- this then turns out to be a vicious cycle.

The ability to think and work on making the grass greener on one's side is what separates out a leader from the pack.
