Trail of ego

I along with few of my colleagues happened to visit a top rated hotel in a city as we were expecting some guest and we had planned for a meeting post lunch. We just gathered in the lobby and were planning the next course of action when a strange incident occurred.

I saw a person approaching us; well dressed and presentable, dragging his travel trolley towards the exit. The hotel being a top rated; and such hotel boasts on big lobbies; there was enough space and the person could have easily managed himself towards the exit.

Reluctant enough was the person; he desired to make his own way and wanted to push us aside, He didn;t like us standing on his way. “Excuse Me” uttered this gentleman. The words coated with Proud, superiority complex, sense of achievement and excellence. We made a pass for the gentleman. This made me think that should the gentleman at all behave like this and what is the reason behind his cloud 9 status.

Few of the reason which I could quickly count on; he drives a vehicle which rarely any of us can drive, he can drive it at an unimaginable speed, the vehicle that he drives itself is very costly and possessing such vehicle is a dream for common man and reality only for few big corporate, his vehicle has hardly any obstacles during the journey and most of the time it is smooth ride. He has a liberty to push his vehicle run to its full capacity during the journey.

But my understanding goes a little bit different, he can’t drive a car in congested traffic better because he drives his vehicle in no traffic area and on top of that all the traffic management is someone else responsibility. He can’t keep patience in Road traffic congestion because he is not habitual of facing that. He can’t drive a car better because he is habitual of driving the vehicle a few kilometers and rest of the time it is auto driven.

No matter how fast and how high he flies but in reality he needs some ground to ground. Professionally one can achieve new highs but until n unless he has surroundings clouds of ego, superiority and proud he could not shine.
