Since I don’t lean leftwards or right, nor I can walk straight neither bended, I’ve my home-made twisted, unformatted and biased views. Fortunately enough, they are generally reserved for my own consumption. This approach though desirable often leaves you boxed. So, if you’re such a kind and happen to join your boss and colleagues, who are discussing, debating, sharing and nodding on to views expressed upon the auto, finance, FMCG, political or sports arena, then be rest assured that your valuation may touch a new low.
Now that you're already grounded, being a silent spectator can add to your woes. Even if you dare roll your tongue, special emphasis is to be put on the kind of words that you may use. If you’re not choosy with your vocabulary it may further undermine your supposed potential. Though jargons, tongue-twisters, archaic language and codes are universally accepted and admired. Language barriers put aside, if you’re working for a multinational then it may be so that the Human Resource department will select you as a case-in-point for the need of effective corporate communication training.
Needles to say that this may also affect your personal life. Lack of recognition at work place compounded with the adversity to 'talk-in' to a girl’s mind and heart through your simple, inane and wayward quippings may ultimately confirm your unfounded fears of being "socially rejected." As many examples have proven beyond any doubt that any female specie in today’s professional, well marketed, advertised world will demean you for the lack of prowess to quote Kafka, Shakes&Pear, Camu, Milton or Bloomberg and Reuters. This is a must-required qualification in your otherwise loosely pieced CV. Without these credentials it's almost impossible to hold an intelligent conversation. This may diminish any chances of yours to find your way to to someone’s heart or bed! (DISCLAIMER: If you look like a model or you earn in eight figures you can discard this statement)
So what’s the point in talking about my inefficiencies? Well, this New Year, I started on a semi-religious note. Though, my reverence was killed by commercialism. My wishes were dashed by silence and I really cant find anything worthy to comment after the change of calendar. Well, this is the face of being unsuccessful, for the spirit — "Thou shall live by humour."
