March of the Penguins, an extraordinary documentary. I could not get hold of the English version where the narrative is by Morgan Freeman. I am sharing the Hindi version, which is narrated by Amitabh Bachan. Must watch for everyone including Children
When you see what the Penguins do what they are doing for 10 months in a year, a 21 day lock down is walk in the park.
Why do all the Penguins(above 5 years) march to the coldest portions of Antarctica and procreate in the harshest climate of the year?
The almost close to ten month long ritual enacted year after year, a glowing testimony to the virtues of patience and endurance.
I cannot help but draw a parallel to a professional's life. The mental pain, anguish and more importantly the complexities, can be extraordinary.
Here is a prayer for the professional
I am born to win.
I am a living and breathing miracle.
It took nature all of nine months to sculpt me into existence.
Rome will never be built in day.
I am not running a sprint, I am running a Marathon.
Oh! Universe, Life is abound with mirages.
Things do not seem to be what they actually are.
Bless me with clarity to be discerning.
The Patience to understand who I am.
The Patience to understand what I want
The Patience to live for myself.
The Patience to deal with reversal of fortunes.
The Patience to think laterally
The Patience to be positive
The Patience to endure the pain
The Patience to be patient.
