TALK WECOMEONE

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.

Something to think about:

If something ever seems impossible. Put in an apostrophe and space so it becomes I’m possible

Now let me introduce myself, my name is Ravi Agravat and I’ve just finished college and now I’m doing a year internship here at Wecomeone. It’s been around 7 weeks since I’ve been here and it feels like the clock has magical wings because time has just flown by. I don’t know where it’s all gone but I guess it’s true what they say that time flies when you’re having fun (and working very hard too)

But since I’ve been here, I’ve had the opportunity to jump out of plane 15,000ft high, and trust me its high, and if ever the clouds are under your feet, I’m telling you now something isn’t right! You see my initial thought was to ‘fly like superman’ but then once the door opened and my legs were dangling outside of the plane, my thoughts were then ‘please don’t fly into the engine, please’

Next thing you know the sound of the wind was immense! It’s like unwinding the window while you’re on the motorway and then sticking your head out and looking like a demented child! It’s Crazy!

But yeah I have to thank the wind! It probably cleaned out every minute particle of earwax that ever lived in my ear, along with the spiders and antelopes and deer’s and sea weed and a bit of grass! Amazing, probably the most expensive ear cleaning service out there but I can say with guaranteed assurance that it works perfectly! Fantastic, I’d just like to thank the Open Dreams Team for organising a day to remember.

You see I thought it was impossible for me to jump out of a plane but I did it. And so can you. I would like to know what you think is impossible and see if you can turn it in to I’m possible…
