Give a second thought!

I am writing after more than an year. I did not have a motivation to write as I did not have a strong compulsion from within. But today, being the last day of 2009, I felt like reviving my inner instincts and starting the New Year with my e-pen. And of course, I feel much better when I write. Yesterday, I learned two important things in my life. Though I have always read and heard about it, this was kind-of a gentle reminder for me. Here are they:

1. Do the thing that you are most afraid of.
2. Never make a judgment about a person without giving proper time to know that person.

I had a Dr appointment yesterday morning and I went there around 9.30 am. As funny as it might sound, I am very scared of elevators. There was no one around and the doctor office was on the third floor. As always, I tried to look for stairs. But that option was not available. So I had two options:
1. To cancel the appointment and come back again with someone.
2. To take the elevator.

I kept my nerves cool and decided to do it once and for all. And there I was, pressing the button '3'. The door closed and I began to wait for the third floor. I tried not to have any negative thought at that time. And within fractions of seconds, I was on the third floor. While coming down, I did the same. I am not scared of elevators any more.

Next incident. It was my second visit to this doctor yesterday. From the first visit, I did not quite like the suggestions given by the doctor. And I wanted to see a more experienced doctor. I was almost going to reschedule my appointment with some other senior doctor. But when I went yesterday, I felt glad that I came to this doctor. She listened to me very carefully and answered all the questions that I had which usually not everybody does. In the end, she gave me two pieces of advice like a mother which really made me feel happy. My day started great.
I have decided to see this doctor again.

Life teaches us lessons everyday. Its up to us to learn from them or not!
