The Man of Standards

Standard

I remember many occasions when I have acted below standards.

But the fact that I am conscious that I have acted below, shows that somewhere in mind, standards are there. I am comparing my deviation with those standards.

Does this not prove that I am a man of standards?

Probably not. Knowing high standards is good. But not living up to those high standardseven when knowing those standards, is “Failure of a Man of Standards”.

Some psychologists suggest, we should lower the bar of our standards, so that we can feel “Good Enough”.

But the true pleasure lies in climbing a mountain and fixing flag at the top of mountain. True pleasures are in living up to the high standards which may have been set in our mind.

Lawyer who preferred to focus on next 7 Dsys only

Standard
Life and work are full of clutters. So many things need our attention, prioritisation etc etc.

It looks that life is not an easy job.

I know a lawyer. As one day he had told me, He chose to focus on only 7 days at a time.

Every Sunday, he will sit for an hour and fill up time slots of next seven days.
Which cases are there? What is to be accomplished?

The cut off line of seven days makes life a little easier. The total burden of things to do is reduced to seven days of workload only.

This lawyer, later became District Judge and then became a Judge of Gujarat High Court.

Now he is retired from Judgeship. However, I remember him as Justice C. K. Buch.
