Guru Poornima - The guiding light!

All of us need a guiding light to take us to the goals we have identified for ourselves in this life. What does it mean, the guiding light , does it mean that we will find our way sooner than what it will take us otherwise or does it mean something more than just that. A lot can be learnt from the movie "Chak De" where the coach guides India to give its best despite being labeled a loser during his times.

The spirit of winning is in not giving up and getting up just that one more time to greet success in its face. What a feeling it is, to win, to perform at the best of  our body, mind, and soul. These are the moments we cherish and relish lifelong, and to know that we owe it to someone called a coach , a mentor , a teacher who believed in us , in our capability to give in our best and showed us the way forward, its close to having met the God/Goddess herself.

What crap you'd think of me comparing our guiding lights to Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh, the God Almighty, let them be then. Let us revel in our knowledge about ourselves. Do we have sufficient knowledge about ourselves that we can do the right thing at the right time and at the right place, many believe that they know what they want and hence they know best whats to be done. Agreed, but then too there are times when one wants that there'd be some instructions and some guidelines to be followed in order to get to a goal.

This is where we technical writers are working to become guiding lights in showing the way forward to understand things better than would otherwise be a lot more time consuming and make for a bad customer experience. In business where the customer is the king and there are ten other similar products on offer in the market the guiding light for the customer will decide what the customer needs, wants and gets to trust.
