Presents for all

Birthdays are a joyful occasion we all celebrate, eat cake, get all our friends and family around but best of all we get presents! What if I told you there’s a tradition which does slightly the opposite? Instead of receiving present on your birthday, you give them out.
I want to do exactly that this year. My Birthday is approaching and this Sunday I will have one more year of experience compared to the last. I want to thank those who gave me those experiences and support me whenever I need it.
In the Indian culture you always give others a gift on a special occasion. This is to thank them for celebrating the occasion with you.
I want to celebrate my years so far with those who wish to celebrate it with me by giving them a gift. Everybody reading this blog probably wants to be my friend now. I’m sure immediately the thought of getting brand new cars or clothes came in everybody’s mind. I want to give something a bit more useful.
I asked everybody in the office to think of one thing they would like to change personally, professionally and mentally. The reasons being positive change in those 3 fields will be more valuable to people than material goods.
So I ask the same of those reading this post.
Think of something you can change for the positive, in one week, in the following areas.
Personally
Professionally/Academically
Mentality
Now think about how you can change it within a week, or at least begin to change
It doesn’t have to be a physical change, a shift in thinking can be just as valuable.
I hope you all like your present and will begin to think of others on your special occasions.
