Last week, I met a friend I had never met before. We had connected on a Trainer’s Group on WhatsApp. When we met, senior trainer, Ajit Kaikini seemed like an old friend. As we interacted, we found lots of common ground.
We both grew in the organisation of
Jaycees, albeit at different times. We never met each other in the
organisation, but we discovered that we had many common friends. We were able
to compare notes.
But the real meeting of minds was seeing
Ajit’s passion while conducting sessions for young students. It was inspiring
to see an experienced corporate trainer come down to the level of the young as
well as take them to loftier visions.
The meeting of minds is important for
real connect between personalities. The mind seeks a mirror of shared ethics,
values and attitude. And I was happy to see a person I want to be. This is a
positive meeting of minds which is progressive and inspiring.
But meeting of minds can also be
negative when we search for the other for an activity that may not one to be
flaunted. Where larger visions are replaced by lesser habits or self-centred
activities. Here too minds meet but it may not be desirable.
We must seek to meet minds that are
committed to a greater common good. We must interact with those who step
outside the comfort zone to involve in selfless work. We must ensure that the
minds we meet are role models having a sense of purpose.
meeting of minds is worthy indeed
with personalities of selfless deeds
