Being a human being, an “intelligent” creature on earth we have an ability to think, decide and choose what suits “best” for us. We can clearly define professional and personal relations. We can clearly differentiate family from others and consider our family as closest to us. But, have we really been great husband, great wife, great son and daughter, great father, great brother, great worker...the list goes on and on. It is a question we should ponder upon and if need be, take a step or two backwards and look back with genuineness. Face the truth; I know many of us will be forced to bow our head. We may even start to hate ourselves.
Now, what is PROFESSIONALISM. I define it as, any work in office or outside office where professional services are required, where professional debate occurs, where professional criticism are required. And, all these activities are either accepted or defended. PERSONA-‘LISM’: a relation one has with peers, families, elders etc. There seems to be shallow border between the two, but if we know the border there is nothing like that.
Why am I writing this? In our society, we do so many things and discuss endless number of issues. We also criticize or not accept what one feels is not right in the meetings and discussions. The problem rises, as many of us do not leave what has been discussed and debated in meetings in the meeting hall. The problem arises after deciding something else in the meeting and doing something else on the pretext of humanitarian ground. That's where we mix professionally discussed agenda with personal-‘ism’. Doing such things, we land up being a bad professional. We land up being bad in maintaining personal-‘ism’, because one day or the other no one will be able to live up-to the demands and request of ones friends, families, not forgetting ones “time-past” leisurely love.
