What Does “The New Way To Work” Mean To You?

Three minutes after he woke up ,he stood by the windows of his bed room,looking through the small steel bars which constituted the windows.He saw a violet sky and a serene atmosphere, the whole world was silent and beautiful,few seconds later, he realized two things – it was early in the morning and Life is Beautiful.When he started from home after thirty minutes,he walked in the roads of that place.He saw that the doors were open in many of the homes in that street.He thought, there must not have been an incident of theft in that place, ever.It made him chuckle.The dogs did not bark at him, they are accustomed to see him walking early in the morning, every time he visits that place.

He lived in that place and often visits it when the time permits him to.He has a house where nobody lives except at times when he visits.Every person in that place knows him.He was helped by every single soul in that place ever since he lost his parents at a very young age.He sat under a big oak tree with his macbook and pondered on what he has to do for that day.His Calendar program showed him 4 interesting assignments planned for that day.A Complete architecture of a proposed building at a major city in a near by country , A Creative advertisement for a new production company , Screen play writing for scenes 12 & 13 for a new movie titled ‘Make it tonight’ and an Idea Storm discussion for his new Business venture ‘ Black Shadows’. While he was thinking about them, He saw a family approaching to their home with a purpose for the day.They looked at him strangely, but with a smile.It didn’t last long and they passed soon later.

When he thought about all the strange looks given by the fellow humans on him,He realized that he never belonged a Community or an organization or a Collective entity.He was never sent to school.He learnt the languages through his friends, talks given by the graduates of that place , social service workers, books from the Library and the gifted books from the Charity Organizations.Most of his wisdom and Common sense are through his hearing and Observation.He observed everything with meticulousness and passion. Though he was an orphan, the people of that place thought of him as a gifted kid, a gifted man.

He remembered , “As a young kid , he has traveled to the near by cities and wandered in the streets exploring the monstrousness of the cities.He served in the hotels for food.He learnt Geography and History of the world , through the visitors of the Hotel and by their talks.Once on a holiday , When he stood opposite to the brick manufacturing company, He wanted to work for it. He mastered the techniques of it in two days.He thought,” How non-living things work with perfect harmony when guided by a mind with a purpose of creation.He then moved on and joined several companies and worked for it as long as he mastered the nuances of the operations of the company.Each of them was different.”

As days went on, He mastered architecture,He learned Maths and Physics and was passionate about Advertising and Computers and Writing.He lived every moment of his Life.He often felt ,”He is excited to be alive”.

When he was lost in thoughts, His macbook showed him ,It was eight O’Clock in the morning and the sun confirmed it.There was movement of people between the roads and there were small talks between them and the strange looks on him. He wore an Orange and White pin striped half-sleeve shirt tucked inside a blue trousers.He thought, “Why he never belonged to any particular collective entity called – School,University or Company.He thought , may be , He belonged to the entire world. He thanked all the graduates Who, during their holidays, gave talks on several things they learnt , to the kids of that place.”

He thought,”People work because they want to earn money for their living and for their needs, to spend time , and to satisfy their quest of achieving their dreams , to gain intellectual and social pleasure. Since work occupies almost the entire life-span of a person, everyone needs intellectual and Social pleasure at work.” He wondered How he was able to enjoy those pleasures even if he never belonged to any particular collective entity.He defined “Social pleasure” as a relationship to the society you live in and the relationship with your friends, and collegues and it is to satisfy one’s Heart and “Intellectual pleasure” is to satisfy one’s mind.He always felt and worked as an independent Creator,ever since he was able to. He thought ,”The passion to do is more when one is independent because behind every action there could be three reasons : 1) Under Compulsion 2) for Recognition 3) to one’s own satisfaction. When one is independent , the reason is always your own satisfaction of doing the things which brings out a perfect creation.”

He often thought ,” Companies should always be a platform of bringing many independent creators together, for the world of billions of people from various cultures , and for their needs”.

He chuckled , When he thought that,”The transformation of the world is happening right in front of his eyes and the percentage of Independent creators are increasing rapidly. He appreciated the evolution of the world and the way the ‘work’ is seen across the world and How that evolution has helped him to be part of many prosperous industries like – Architecture, Design , Advertising , Writing and his own Business !!! and How it has helped him to live his live the way he wanted to live not letting or compelling him to compromise on things just for the sake of making money and How it has helped him to add new dimensions to him as a Writer , Designer , Architect , CEO and so on.He thought that the new way to work is to be an Independent Creator with the freedom to choose the work at your own will and with your passion.”

When he started back to home from that place, He saw a team of boys playing football in the near by ground. He said himself , When he visits that place next time, He will teach them “Set Theory in Maths”.On his way back home , He wished , when those boys start working , the world will be in a state where this evolution and transformation has reached its peak.

To the love and freedom of the Humanity.
