When I was working as a
professor in a private educational institution in India, a few of my students
asked me why I always walked alone. They added that most faculty members walked
in a group or with their colleagues. They found me unique and different from
others. They informed me that they liked the way I walked alone with grace. I
liked their compliment. Now I started to analyze the reasons behind walking
alone instead of walking with others.
I served in the Indian Air
Force where I used to do a parade in groups. I worked in teams. After the
office hours, I used to walk with my friends in civil clothes. After I left the
Indian Air Force, I preferred walking alone as civilians could not keep pace
with my walking style.
People are different with
different walking styles. In spite of leaving the Indian Air Force, I still
walk like a soldier with chest up. Most people appreciate that I walk
graciously while a few criticize that I walk aggressively. Of course, it depends
on their perceptions. Here are some observations about the personalities who
walk alone. They are confident. They believe in themselves. They have strong
wings. They have a strong direction. They have a clear focus on their goals and
objectives. They cannot be distracted easily. They hit the bull’s eye.
I walk alone because I am a
fitness freak. When I walk alone lots of ideas flash on my mind and I capture
them in a pocket diary that I always carried with me. I started jotting my
ideas on my smartphone recently.
According to the various
personality types, I belong to the category of The Driver and The Influencer. I
discovered that because of my military, teaching, and training background, I am
logical and productive and I know how to get the things done effectively.
Conclusion
"I love walking because
it clears your mind, enriches the soul, takes away stress, and opens up your
eyes to a whole new world.” ―Claudette Dudley
People have different
personalities because of their heredity, environment, and upbringing. To
conclude, there is nothing like a good or bad walking style. Everyone has their
own style of walking based on their personalities. Let us respect them
irrespective of their walking style.
“I love walking in the woods,
on the trails, along the beaches. I love being part of nature. I love walking
alone. It is therapy. One needs to be alone, to recharge one's batteries.”
―Grace Kelly
