S T A R


Among the stars we see in the sky, many of them do not exist any more. Reason: the stars are several thousands of light years away from the earth i.e. it takes several thousands of years for the light from stars to reach the earth. By this time many of those stars are merged to other stars or become cold (lose energy to shine) or simply destroyed.

Likewise, we see many human stars around us. Some star performers in the office, star players, star students, writers, singers or stars in any other field. We got to see whether the star in them actually exists today or is it the light of stardom they had few years back? In many cases they are the dead stars. Out of ignorance, we still consider (or worship?) them as stars.

So the next time when you see a star, think, “Does his/her star-quality actually exist today?”

PS: This is not my original thought. I had read it somewhere long time back. Some incident reminded me of this and I thought of sharing it with you all.

I am sure that u got this idea of STAR performance from the Mid term appraisal which is going on in all org.

Arvind, yes. But it is not difficult to find such non-existant stars in any walk of life, including office.

nice thought. Most of the cases it is true.Take the case of Madhuri. What a hype with her latest movie!!
