Just a couple of weeks ago, China recorded the world's longest traffic jam. It started late August and ran into September, lasting 13 days and 100km long! The news reported that no one got into a road rage which was quite surprising! Considering the fact that here in India, even a five to ten minute traffic jam would cause havoc! This got me thinking about the people who were in their vehicles waiting to reach their destination. They all had a place they were going to but then they had to wait 13 days long before they could get there!
Most people today are all going someplace that too in a hurry. What most people can’t stand are interruptions along the way! No one wants to stop mid way and take time to smell those beautiful, fresh scented flowers on the footpath. They don’t have time to spare and an interruption is the last thing people want!
Today, somehow the world has so many ways of interrupting us! How many times have we been irritated in the midst of our favorite TV programme by all those commercials? How about a power cut right in midst of the World Cup??! Maybe our train’s delayed by 2 or 3 hours and we are stuck at the station! What about those mobile sales people calling to advertise while in the midst of something important?
Think of the last time you were interrupted. Interruptions can be irritating and especially if you are a choleric (a very focused and goal oriented type person), then an interruption is all that is needed to get you upset for the remainder of that day!
