Not By Profession- Shilpa D

Not a psychologist by profession but I am a psychologist by action,” I said.

My daughter curiously asked, “How?”

I asked her, “What do psychologists do?”

She thoughtfully said, “Heal people towards mental wealth.”

“Impressive!” I said,

“I do the same! Strive towards mental wealth

For nation’s health.”

“Not an advocate by profession but I am an advocate by action,” I said.

My daughter queried, “How?”

I asked her, “What do advocates do?”

She further said, “Argue for the client in dispute.”

“I do, but not exactly as in the law suit,” I said,

“I help them debate in pursuit of not letting the truth dilute.”

“Not a counsellor by profession but I am a counsellor by action,” I said.

My daughter inquired, “How?”

I asked her, “What do counsellors do?”

She instantly said, “Guide you to choose what is right.”

“I do the same,” I said. “They are led towards the light

By choosing what’s right.”

“Not a life coach by profession but I am a life coach by action,” I said.

My daughter wilfully asked, “How?”

I asked her, “What do life coaches do?”

Enthusiastically she said, “Motivate people to soar high.”

I affirmed “Matchless is each one’s strength; I always say

& by make believing in themselves, self-motivated are they.”

“Not a stand-up comedian by profession but I am a stand-up comedian by action,” I said.

My daughter chuckled & asked, “How?”

I asked her, “What do stand-up comedians do?”

Amusingly she said, “They are hilarious till your stomach hurts.”

Through a hoot of laughter I said, “Not so much nuts!

But a little chuckles that effectively works.”

Radiantly said my daughter, “Mamma, so so much by action;

I now understand what it takes to be an inspiring teacher, by profession!”
