Today, we had a group photograph in our office. Our unit is about a hundred strong. When we gathered at the entry stairs for that perfect portrait, it was around afternoon. The three front rows were out in the sun while the last three rows were in the shade. I and my group of friends comfortably settled in the middle of the last row. We could see the photographer from there and made adjustments so that our face would come in the snap. The guys who had chosen the front rows were getting red in the harsh sunlight. The last rows even laughed at their sorry condition. When we said ‘cheese’, the last rows had the first smiles and the front rows tried hard to look up with their tiny eyes. Three shots captured the moment.
The photographs have come a few minutes ago. The guys in the front rows appeared bright and lit-up in the snaps while the faces in the shaded last rows are dark and not so apparent. What an eye-opener!
If you want to make a difference, you have to be in the ‘sun’. Never mind the sunlight. And bear the ‘heat’.
