It was my long time dream to fly by Jet Airways. Several frequent flyers and ads inspired me about the flying experience in Jet. That Aha! Moment came at last when my company asked me to fly to Mumbai to deliver two training programmes. Flight timing was at early 5. 5 am. It was a dream come true to be seated in 12 C of Jet which is an aisle seat. By sharp 6 flight attendants started distributing breakfast. By the way I missed to tell you this..Of course I was also looking forward towards Jet food.
Well, I stared browsing through the menu card which was kept in front. Menu read like this; Sandwich 596 only. Non veg breakfast 600 only, nuts 450 only, Samosa 205 only. Gods my average middle class Indian heart beat got saved. Never say quit is my policy. I browsed towards the last of the list to find which is the cheapest. Wow tea costs 85, coffee 90. I practiced will power; thinking let me just enjoy the flight alone.
By that time the beautiful air hostess had already approached the passengers just one seat in front, and next is my turn. Excuse me my bloated ego forced me to pretend deep asleep. Forgot to tell you I had won the best actor award from Mahatma Gandhi University Drama in my Post graduation days. My experience really helped. Well, air hostess started to wake me up at all best possible ways calling sir a 9 times, excuse me a 7 times, my complete name 5 times. Thanks to the co passenger who nodded me and you know what he is a powerful non verbal communicator who showed me that she is just waiting for me. I gave him a funny thank you look. She asked with a Google, stereotype script ‘Sir, would you like to place an order for a breakfast from the variety of menu we have to treat you. I remember a book that I read, don’t say Yes, when you want to say NO. Well, I said No by using all my experience in assertive communication as a trainer. At last verifying my tickets she remarked that, Sir, your company had paid complete amount for your meals. You can have an exclusive meal of your choice. You pay nothing.
I reached heavens because already I was in sky, must be closer. With raised eyebrows and curiosity I asked Hi could you please show me the menu card once again. The moment I placed order and it was delivered. But the statement of air hostess glued me to my spirits. ‘Somebody had paid the complete price for you. You needn't have to pay anything. You can enjoy anything of your choice’
Friends let me help you think for yourself. Can you find out THE ONE WHO HAD PAID THE COMPLETE PRICE OF YOUR LIFE? Do you realize the price he paid for you? Do you know that you are called to enjoy a positive life, health, wealth, family, career, bliss of your choice? When dreams,ambitions, passions, positive mindset to make difference comes to you, how many times have you pretended to be asleep? Wake up dear; it’s a better world to be in. Make a difference today knowing Who had called you.
