Priority

What do we think when we hear the word priority? Do we think of the pending work we have to do or do we think of an equipment we have to buy or we think of our family and our duties towards them or is it a person we like and we wish to make them a priority in our life.These are some thoughts with which we make our priority straight.It is obvious that the priority we keep depends on our nature and our liking ,say we have a glass bottle of cola and we wish to open the seal by removing it's cap,now here where priority kicks in.If i would have been there i would first search for the bottle opener before i even try opening the bottle whereas some would not even care to find the bottle opener and would do it just by using there bare teeth.Now i know this was a very silly example but it would make us more clear on the fact that how we prioritize things on the basis of natural habits.Now let us take our self to the work aspect of prioritization,say we are in office and i expect that each and everyone who works there has some or the other work to do ,now how do we prioritize work. Say if i am working in an office and i have a boss even worst two bosses and i have been alloted work from both of them differently have to submit both the works at same time.And also imagine that one boss is female good looking and you tend to get attracted to her and the other is an old man with no hair on head always angry on you type boss.Now being at my place what would your instinct say at that point of time.I wouldn't think even once before putting my priority straight.These are something we humans tend to do which makes us more degraded but what can we do it is human instinct.Till now we discussed about work and habits prior to that ,now let me take us to a more debatable aspect of prioritization,friends.Friendship may be a very nice word to hear but do we give each and every friend of our equal priority,think about it.A very good example to this would be sms.Now since we have a deadline of 100 messages a day do we spend all our messages equally.Or lets not go there say when we are in college do we spend time talking to all our friends equally or do we stick to one person most of the times .I am not saying that prioritization is bad among friends i am just enlightening the fact.

In all this we don't think of things which should be given priority over other likes of ours.Say breathing or oxygen is a must and should for any human life to sustain but we don't give priority to that as we take it for granted.And by this i mean to say that priority is a very relative term and there is nothing bad in keeping priority it's just that we shouldn't prioritize on the basis of limited knowledge and social ajar and try understanding the whole aspect of priority before we get deprioritized in the world.............
