Balancing with Counterweights

(2 min Read)

Have you seen the working of a hydraulic excavator in a construction site? It is a fascinating sight to observe the flexibility of the machine elements, while it effortlessly digs and dumps a huge load onto the dump trucks. What we miss to remember is the counterweight on the other side, which balances and provides stability to the machine. It is a heavy cast iron block, which is designed suitably to match the working load.

Our sparkling efforts in our lives may lead us into a position of power, fame and wealth. The status will become meaningful, only if our achievements are balanced by a set of counterweights called gratitude and compassion. Designing the counterweights and using them optimally is also a vital skillset.

Compare your situations in your life wherein you were accomplishing without ‘counterweights’ and with them. Observe the differences closely. This is a point to ponder related to Chapter 3.
