I am in a situation that is called fix. I think few of our readers too must have experienced it in one form or the other. It is similar to the mid life crisis, which people use to face earlier but little latter in life. But fix shadows you when you are too young. It makes you question a lot, your existence and purpose. What you doing right now and what you wanted to do when you started off?

Well it is not an office crises I am concerned here. The fix is there in from marriage to making choice of location, values of family relation, friends, hobbies you love, reading, writing, sports, and and and and….

So what you do is a fix, it is a product similar to some of those from 3M shelf, it provides a fix, a temporary fix to your situation. Soon you get used to taking a fix and then there are more fix and suddenly you are too much relying on fixes.

Let me put an example of Mr. Chima ( this guy was a senior to me in high school ), he was 25 hit by a fix, had a job, which he was doing for last 2 years. Always wanted to be a marketing guy but due to some reason was managing the company stores. No jobs available outside, he had to go for a fix, he moved from stores to purchase, giving a reason to self, at least it is much better than what he was doing earlier.

Now look at my friend Chika ( If you reading WAO must have known him by now) was working as a Marketing Manager, he always wanted to do that, but in few months of work, he knew that was not he wanted. I provided him a fix and got him recommended in a consulting firm. But he denied the fix and said he wanted to be an archeologist, and want to pursue it. He did that, left a cushion type of job and now last heard was in some deep forest in Suderaban, searching for a civilization that so far has not surfaced. He believe and do what he likes, may be in a year if he do not find a civilization, will not be thinking of restoring some Ajanta cave as many in his field would do as a fix, but for a bet of $ 100 will be definitely surprising us.

Let’s forget his case; his breed is something different, now everyday someone call me for providing a fix for their love relation to jobs related issue to really everything. I do a pretty well job for the other as any surgeon do while operating on someone else hand, but when he has to cut or stitch his own hand, he will surely not able to do that. Same goes for me also, I am not able to fix things for myself and for some reason I do not see some fixer around.

There is also another angle to fix situation. Let me put it in the best of affirmative ways “stop complaining and start respecting what you got.” I have seen people doing well when they start to love the one part of life they control and just oblige the part they do not like. It works and it is the most taken path, coz taking a fix, also need an effort. But remind you some guys end up getting exploited here. Smart chaps start taking them for granted and keep on addressing them for long, and eventually they just stop from existing.

Fix theory, is still immature, WAO people if you need to add something here please do. I have addressed the fix, you give it…

This life is full of compromises or fixes in life..But make sure that doesnt turn one into a bitter complaining types..there is so much more to life..and i go by the theory that if u want somethin real bad sooner or later this world has to hand over that to u..happy fixing till then..
