From 3 to 10th standard, in every english exam we came across a question, asking us to write an essay,"An hour at railway station", only reason I could figure out then was, may be examiner was banned from going to the station, leaving him with no other option but to make us write our experience. Every time it turned up, we blindly wrote about waiting for a train which was always late, than some chai wala, shoe polish wala and similar arbit people whom we rarely notice even after going to the station hundreds of times. Some time I went a step ahead and wrote their names too. We wrote about other trains passing by, passengers running across the platform(just to fill lines) and counting number of lines still left to be filled. as the essay would come to an end, we would write in bigger handwriting to cover more and more lines and that was almost similar to how we answered the question every time it appeared. We never really thought why the same question turned up year after year. When other questions of the paper were new and of higher class, why this same question turned up in every standard. Many times we wrote the same lines again, sometimes used same names of chai wala and shoe polish wala too. Never gave any thought as to why this repetition. But if you relax a bit and think about again, Life behave similar to that examiner. Throwing same situation again and again, waiting for us to respond. Hoping someday we would respond differently. Just for moment, we need to sit and think, did we gave the same answer to the same question, if yes, than why blame life for giving same marks again and again.
Life may not give us a opportunity twice, but it surely give a new opportunity everyday. Only thing it expect back is a new response.
