Satisfaction...

Pandey sir is a middle aged man, very senior to me. He works in a company in Noida on the designation of Manager. Few days back he was very happy.

He said cheerfully to me, "guess what how much increment a person can get??"

i said, "dont know about company like..."

"humme...", He was so excited that he could not wait to complete my sentence,

He paused for a second then continued, "humme 24% increment mila hai... "

He said with an expression that can be called as "more then smiling"

I asked "so now how much you will be getting in hand?"

"more than 18000 a month..." he replied, unsucessfully controlling his enthusiasm...

I reached office, i was called for getting the Appraisal letter.

I was given a good increment, despite of that i was dissatisfied. I thought it was too less. My company does not give good salaries and what not…

The day ended, next morning I was again thinking about my increment, unhappy and dissatisfied, eventually we met again (pandey sir and me)…

He asked, "aur bhai tumhara increment kab ho raha hai…"

That reminded me of his increment he was telling last morning,

Suddenly a question popped up in my mind, “the person was getting much less then me, he is feeding his whole family of 2 daughters and a wife, beside other expenses he had to save money for marriage of daughters also, still he was very happy, then what was the thing which was making me unhappy? ” I asked myself.

My inner self instantly replied, “SATISFACTION”… more a person gets more he seeks for…

I started feeling better, more satisfied...
