You are just a hot air balloon, not an airplane.


You are just a hot air balloon, not an airplane.

Long time I was thinking, I am so knowledgeable, co-operative, people-friendly, I should meet people and share my knowledge with them.

I realized, how naive, how foolish I was thinking like this.

This kind of thinking either at work or in personal life will make you sick, don’t attempt this.

If you think something like:

·       You will go and help everyone

·       You think you can take on the world

·       You will overreach yourself

·       In doing overpromise you will under deliver

·       You will fail, at the end.

You should start realizing that you are a hot air balloon, and people are burdening you with almost everything.

Everyone around you burdens you, it can be your family, your friends, and your colleagues.

And it’s ok and that is what you are there for them. In their case, it’s not like asking less or more burden, but asking for broad shoulders.

Once you understand this, you’ll know you really don’t have much additional capacity and then you will start-

·       Helping the right people and who will help you back.

·       You will become more realistic and know your limits.

·       You will promise only what you can deliver

·       You will succeed

It is important to know who is burdening you and who are extending support.
