Yellow Signal

Imagine if a day passes in Bangalore without the yellow lights on the signal. Damn you cant even dream about it. Stop, Think, Go, is what is the real meaning of the red, yellow and green lights. But the ‘think’ is used as an extra time to cross the road or is it to say ‘no no, I crossed the road before it turned red, I respect the rules’. But we don’t understand that crossing the road when the signal is yellow; is itself breaking the rules.

A person standing at the red signal believes that the moment yellow is on, I can start. On the other hand, a person at the green signal believes that yellow is an extra time to travel. Thank God we are blessed with descending ‘seconds counters’ (long live the person who invented that)

The seconds counter becomes a point of attraction and hence people forget looking @ the signal lights. But, drivers starting to cross the road while the counter displays ‘07’ is then a new story by itself.

Life’s decisions also suffer from the same symptoms. We either booz or work harder. But the yellow signal in between these two is what is called by Stephen.R.Covey as “Sharpen your Axe”.

We seldom sharpen our axe, but are in search of internal peace, just because our axe is not cutting properly. I would like all of the human beings in this world to stop, think and move ahead faster than before.

I mean – “REALLY THINK”
