“I say luck is when an opportunity comes along and you're prepared for it.”
-Denzel Washington
Although Mr. Washington used these words in a different context, we can all agree on that this is exactly the way luck works. You get an opportunity, you take it, you seize the day, carpe diem! You don’t just let it go by. And that is exactly what most of us will be doing most of the time, because of innumerable excuses that we have kept a pile of in our closets.
But that must change now, for 2018 is giving you a favourably long weekend on a silver platter. Now we can say that is something that happens once in centuries or something along those lines to convince you that you must not let this chance go, the truth is that the travel-less phase of your life will do that job for us. The year is giving you its first gift as a national holiday falling on a Friday.
So instead of sleeping till 11 in the morning on Republic Day and the couple of days following it that we would like to call a “weekend”, you should take to your closet and start packing for a refreshing trip to any of your favorite holiday destination. And while you’re at it, throw away your pile of excuses too, because they are doing no good to anyone.
It is time to step out of the bubble you have made and collect a few stories of your own to tell the world, because a wise man once said-
“Better to see something once than hear about it a thousand times”
