It has always been like this. It will always be. Its awful but true. Men with intelligence will concede to the men with power. Powerful men don’t protect the nation. They destroy it. They think they have it in control. They protect themselves but they don’t know they are making their own offsprings a slave to the future men of power.
To do what is right is the easiest thing for a man. It can also be the toughest. It depends on the motive and the courage one has. When we are biased, insecure and compete with the world, we may be tempted to lose track of the ‘right’. But to those for whom integrity is the only thing that matters, doing anything which is wrong is not even a choice. They may lose out in the short term but these are the men who stand tall at the end.
A lot of people have over achievement syndrome. They try to squeeze everything out of time. Multitasking is a way of life for them. Stress today and live tomorrow is the mantra they follow. The unfortunate part is that tomorrow never comes and they regret the today’s later on. Living a balanced life is the key. It’s a mind game. It may be challenging but one has to find his own balance
I am nobody. Leave me alone. I want to remain a fool. A curious fool. I want some answers. Only I can answer them. It may take a lifetime. There is so less time. There is so much noise. I want silence. Please don’t disturb me. I don’t want attention. I just want to be attentive to myself. Yes, I ignore you and I want you to ignore me.
I don’t want to decode you. I want to know who I am. Each day I feel triumphant that I finally know myself only to be surprised the next day. I change so frequently. It is so difficult to know one person, how can I claim to know the world. There are so many layers beneath which my real self is hiding. I am peeling them one by one. It never ends. But my quest remains. To know myself.
When he was small he was told to listen. He complied. He thought once he will acquire wisdom he will talk. Over the years he acquired wisdom by listening and observing. He still doesn’t talk.His wisdom taught him to keep silence
Move on. You should not stop. Neither at success nor at failures. They are just for the record books that you passed them on your way to greater accomplishments. Water must flow. Still water is not consumable. Success should motivate you to look for more while you should learn from failures to do it another way. Milestones are to give you directions. Your job is to Keep walking.
I know it won’t work out. I know the result in advance. Things which are not justified. Things which won’t last. Things that must be parted with. Still, I want them. I am unwilling to let them go. I hope it will turn out well though I know it won’t. The arguments go on between the heart and the mind. I stop thinking at the level where my mind takes over because I know I will lose and I start all over again.
I am fighting. Myself. I want to walk along a road less travelled. But each time I think of starting my journey, I doubt if I am making the right choice. I get pulled by the crowd in the other direction. I know what I want but I am lacking the courage to follow my instincts. It kills me. I seek shelter in the crowd but I am more lonely there. Each day I make a fresh resolve to follow my heart. Each day I fail. But I am not giving up. I am fighting. One day…
Don’t attempt to be the best in everything. Try to be perfect in just a couple of things in life, like your profession, sport, etc. That’s it. After that, be messy with life. Explore rest of the things. Be inquisitive. Make mistakes. Have fun. Live like a fool and enjoy like a kid. Let no one judge you. One life. One you. Live it your way.
