They’ll Do Anything For You! Poem by Amrit Rathi

They’ll Do Anything For You!



Some friends often tell me
the world is unfair.
But I have different views,
I’d like to share.

Let’s not grumble but trust them.
I did this with 100 guys.
What were their aspirations?
I looked into their eyes.
They must win, I ensured,
and their moral support I procured:
The eighty guys proved my trust.
80% success rate! Is it not a feat?

So trust you must: it’s a powerful rule.
You’re taking calculated risk- it’s simple and plain
and if you aptly tackle the 20% who failed,
they too will not give you chance to complain.

The thundering clouds even burst into rains
on the sweet touch of cool passing breeze;
human heart is softer, can be handled with ease.

We all a have a unique role to play,
despite our weaknesses and constraints;
the mother earth still sustains us well aware.
Let's be generous, learn how to care.

So, if some of them are cross with you,
inferiority or superiority complex may be the clue,
or there may be some other reason,
What is right figure out the one.
Solve the situation with loving kindness
with win-win strategy for both,
and mutual dignity and grace.
So you can touch anybody’s heart,
and show that you really care;
then you can be sure: they can’t be unfair.

What they want from you is
just make them feel important,
and give them what’s their due:
they will do anything for you.
This is not rocket science but a simple thing,
yet how miserably we often fail in its understanding?
It is humility, sheer commonsense, let's do,
and they will do anything for you.

To find a common thread promotes congeniality... and successfulness. Another, more mature, sophisticated way is to be congenial in the midst of disagreement. Disagreement is apt to get one nowhere, being so much less politic. But it can be much more interesting when honest. Generally, if one achieves this viewpoint at all, he or she is at least 30 years old. Everyone enjoys agreements but how dull the old man or woman who still insists upon them. One thing worse is the disparaging one who looks for disagreements in everything. But to pursue a thought or topic no matter where it leads, has the most meaning or fun in it for me. Thus, to me disagreement and agreement is all the same so long as the conversation is not just there for an ego display. Bet you'd agree. And that's nice,
