Opportunist

I always thought that Life never gave a second chance in the same manner or at the same rate as the first time. Today I realize there are not just chances that Life provides; there is more to it and it is more than chances at times; it’s sheer opportunity.

This is what happens in all IT Offices as I see them today. Not everyone is good; not everyone is bad. It’s all just plain motives to go ahead in career and strike the right chords. People don’t even mind going childish to simply attain places just because of the opportunistic view inside their mind-set. People from your same kin do not mind pushing you back and hiding things from you (Doesn’t matter if they ever even knew you completely or not…) just because they would otherwise lose the opportunity assigned to their Fate to Yours. And they would not mind this, since it’s all in good faith for their own self. Things even tumble to the level wherein just to show the concern for the organization’s benefit; People go to the level of getting humorous about working in the daily 8 hour environment. That is as good and loyal as being a Dog. Loyalty to company as against the rules of N R Murthy who once said ‘Love your job and not your company’ or When Chetan Bhagat said ‘Be Sincere, not Serious’.

Opportunistic attitude has not been ever condemned or appraised by anyone. It all comes down to the level wherein it becomes as good as terror attack; If it happens, you got to accept it and move on else keep on fighting till the time you are at the same level as the other person in the situation, only to realize that neither of you were capable enough for the chair to sit on, and/otherwise, There is a third Monkey who gets the bread in the end.

“Remember, I am neither a bear nor a bull, I am an agnostic opportunist. I want to make money short- and long-term. I want to find good situations and exploit them.”
