Can't find my diary!

Things I never thought I'd do:

1. Cook
2. Making my brother study!
3. Helping my mom clean the house without her asking me
4. Waking up before sunrise and read newspaper in one go

And 3 others I don't want to mention (Ok don't get ideas... just silly things that no one else would understand)

I did all of these on the same day! I'm not complaining or anything but this (mini)realization hit me last night while I was trying to sleep. I was wondering if this is how all the grown ups become 'boring' and always stick to the same routine. 'Boring' is a word little harsh, but isn't that what we have been complaining of them since preteens? Now we are growing too and we will be one of them. You would have to do things like these, the things you have always hated, because you wouldn't have a choice. I have been sitting at home for almost a year now. I see my mom doing the very same thing every single day. I have a very disturbing feeling that mothers especially are the happiest when they're asleep. Because I hardly see my mom smile. Except when my brother is around making silly jokes. Otherwise mothers are either worried or tired or angry! I was felt sad. I pitied her too! And my pity was so overwhelming that I had to tell this to someone. And so I told my brother. That wise ass replied something like "look who's talking!". I had to shut up! This was insulting... Hmph! I'll get back at him someday...you'll see!

So I had to open my book. And the answer was right in front of me. I was reading something about motivation and leadership. In that there is this topic on employee needs, etc. One of the important category of human needs is 'Safety needs'. Humans like to have safe, orderly and predictable life. Simply put, we want our lives to boring; boring here meaning 'routine'. We might occasionally want to slip away from this everyday cycle and take a 'holiday' but after the end of the holiday, we always would want to come back home!

Ok enough time wasted. Getting back to leadership theories. Pretty interesting actually.
