This post is about one of the most inspiring few words I heard in my little which had immediate effect on me. These words are from my great Saas, yes my mother-in-law. Don't be surprised, you just have to keep your eyes and mind open to get inspired and it may come from any source. By the way, my mother-in-law is a Masters in Political Science and in one her our moody moments, she read out a few lines from an essay she had written a few months back. This post is also a tribute to her.
Here is what she said "Its the 2.5% of the water on this earth that makes the difference. It is this 2.5% that evaporates and flies high into the sky to the clouds and then when it rains it reaches the top of the mountains and comes back down to the ground. Its actually just this 2.5% of water that is running this whole world's show."
Come to think of it, we don't need a revolution which requires all 100% of the people on this earth to change things. Its only 2.5%. So whoever gets the slightest of intention to bring out a change, just go and do it. Its better to be part of the few good than the ignoring majority. Cos its only these 2.5% that are required to change the world into something better.
When only 2.5% of the water on this earth can run the whole show that we see, day in and day out, why can't we find the 2.5% people who can make about the change. Determine your role and play it. Be part of the 2.5% that runs the show and directs the traffic to something better. That is all that is required friends...that is all...That is required.
Salutations to the thinker on what a beautiful thought and the great words selected to transfer the emotions into something understandable for us normal people. Just beautiful, whoever reads this, do share it. Even if you didn't feel an emotion, if it can reach the right people and if it keeps circulating and you might have just played your part in preparing the 2.5% who are going to make this world a better place.
Yes, 2.5% peoples rule on this world, others are follower of them.
ReplyDeleteHi UTP, when i was reading 2 paragraph of this post, i have decided to share it with my friends.
"2.5% who are going to make this world a better place", rightly said. Just initiate things, others will follow.
ReplyDeleteI guess our zakat is also 2.5% :)
ReplyDeleteBut here, he is discussing about people.
ReplyDeleteHey Umar could you please clear both of us, what is the message of this post?
This is a very interesting and intriguing fact you have shared !
ReplyDelete@syedtayyabali - the message of this post is that it doesnt take a big revolution to make things better. It only takes a few to get the ball rolling in the right direction. If 2.5% of this world's water runs this world's show why can't we find or be part of the 2.5% who can run this world in the right direction?
ReplyDelete@aliraza - its the 2.5% creme that can make things right...
@amir - thats actually a very cool link you've made with that number 2.5%...you never know how the great secrets of life that are hidden in our religious teachings...
@newbie - Just something that moved me...
Lovely thought and that's why I believe one should never stop doing good no matter how little it may be. Along similar lines I once wrote somewhere "we must learn to STICK to our principles till our last breath so that others may learn sumthing from us..even if a single person changes because of us then we can take it as a sign of victory." :)
ReplyDeletevery interesting indeed. But i sitll believe in massive people power, hadnt it been the entire ocean, how wud the 2.5% of it become significant enough to make evaporate. Leaders r born among masses...not thin air. But an interesting analogy no doubt ;)
ReplyDelete@fariha - sticking to principles is something good if your principles are good...I am sure meant that...but the thought of the matter is...does anybody else think it was good?
ReplyDelete@atif - the masses push the waves which were initiated by the few...and thats how this world works..
