The following is a post I wrote a long while back, as a response to all my friends, who were constant critics of my easy-going approach to life. On a related note, I'm happy to report that my friends have not changed and still think of me the same way... :D

On Energy...
What is energy? Elementary Physics defines it as the capacity of a
body to do work. But, how is it that when we extend the concept onto the human
domain, we judge a person’s capacity for work by mere body language. Just being
a fast talker or being aggressive implies an energetic persona!!
Why can’t we first look at a person’s work and then judge the energy
levels. I mean, that how do you know that beneath a seemingly calm and dormant
veneer of the external appearance, does not lie a highly charged mind capable
of a multitude of innovative thoughts and the ability to convert those into
hard reality if presented with the opportunity & challenge of doing so.
As hard as it seems to comprehend, the thought is simplistic in nature
and once you think of it -- not very hard to get your head around.
It is my belief that the seemingly “low energy” folk are active
practitioners of the principle of conservation of energy; keeping their
potential locked behind the dams of a lethargic appearance and are waiting for
the opportune moment to unleash it all in a torrent instead of letting it all
ebb away in the daily humdrum of existence.
