SMOOTH SEAS DO NOT MAKE SKILLFUL SAILORS!



It has been sometime since i blogged but what follows deserves to be written down and remembered.

We have all woken right up into a depressed mood which made sure your whole day would suck. This day started as one of those. I went to the balcony and as I looked up to the sky, the grey of the moisture painted across the hazy clouds, I stopped thinking about everything else and just thought to myself, "We live in such a perfect World". And that soon led to another thought, "Did god really make this extremely complex and diverse world?" And then it came upon me that god din't make anything, god doesn't even exist anywhere other than the vast human imagination. So I really asked myself, "So what did create this world as we know it?" and as Bob Dylan said it himself, "The answer really was blowing in the wind!". The answer was, "Suffering"

You may ask, "How suffering???"

Well, we all know millions of years back life formed on earth in the form of simple algae and bacteria. But they evolved into brilliant complex and diverse life forms we see today. But how did they evolve? The answer again comes, "suffering". It was only because they suffered a threat from a predator or climate change, they evolved into something more complex. If the suffering was not there, all the lush green rainforests with it's infinte animals and birds, the vibrant coloured coral reefs with it's ever more vibrant inhabitants, the forever whistling wind in the deserts with animals evolved over millions of years just to flourish there, all of it would have be replaced with primitive bacteria this very day.
Evolution and time have been filtering the life on earth sparing only the most adaptable and superior species to exist making our world, a world that's amazingly beautiful and PERFECT.

The profound thing is not that revelation but why we do not apply the same in our life? We are terrified of advertisity and suffering and many people avoid it at all costs. Some 'play it safe' throughout their life to escape it's tests. But no one understands that by suffering you are actually filtering yourself to your innate beauty and perfection. If at this very moment, you feel life is tough on you, feel relieved of the fact that you are on your way to finding that lush forest, that vibrant reefs and that perfect world that rests within you. And once you get past the suffering, true happiness will be yours.

HOCUS FOCUS! :D

Hello dear readers,
Welcome to yet another post.
Have you guys ever noticed something? Some people really does seem like they have all the luck. "He's got that mercedez ... not to his mention his mansion..." .... It's like he knows magic or voodoo or somethin...How did he get so successful?
I was just asking myself that same very question the other day. And I think I have found the answer.
You want to know what it is?
Well, It's definitely not voodoo! :)...

Well, How many times have we started something only to be distracted in the middle and to leave it incomplete? Heck, I got distracted like 10 times by the time I was done with the first paragraph!

And I have come to realize that it is this inability of ours that holds us back from getting what we want from life. WE JUST LACK FOCUS! And It is the lack of focus that sows the seeds of laziness in our minds. And laziness is a disease that leaves you with no goals, no purpose and inevitably, no success!

Whatever you see around you is the reflection of someone's thoughts at some time in the past. Cell phones and submarines were nothing but a figment of imagination up until the 1900s. How did these thoughts become reality?
So it's only a matter of time your today's dreams become your tomorrow's reality by focusing your mind on it.

Bill Gates, the former richest man in the worlds was once asked in a party, "Bill, what is the secret to your success?" being asked questions like these all the time, he smiles and answered "FOCUS!". The only person who had the same answer to the same question other than him was Warren Buffet - The current richest man in the world.

In the 21st century, we live in a time where distractions are everywhere from televisions to video games. We, the Future, are raised to be distracted. We are incapable of harnessing the true potential of our minds. And the very few of us who will be written in the history books and remembered for the generations to come will be those who have mastered the incomprehensible power that is our Mind!
Cheers!

why can't we also be billionares and movie starS?!

This post is dedicated to MADHU SIR. The man who persuaded me to continue writing this blog inspite of having no readers. "Continue writing your blog. You will hit the bullseye in life." He told me. And A bullseye I will hit.
Thank you sir. You have given more encouragement in my life than all the other people combined.







All of us dream. We dream of living in multi-million dollar houses, riding the finest cars, eating the most exotic food yet only 1% of the population actually have all those things. What is it that they possess to attract success that we do not?
They do not have a magic lamp or a boon from God. But I believe they have something more potent. Something more powerful - THE ABILITY TO ACT.

To transform your desires into it’s monetary equivalent, You need to ACT. It is action that separates fantasy from reality, victory from defeat. Action and achievement are inextricably bound to each other like water and life. Your thoughts and dreams are like architects, designing your life the way you want it to be. But it is your actions that are the building blocks which meticulously combine to form the magnificent structure that is your life. With just the dreams, there’s nothing but a blueprint of what CAN be a splendid monument.
We procrastinate and blame our fears for our idleness. Remember, If you do what you have always done, you'll get what you have always got. :)

Success is not something that you stumble upon. It takes determination, Hard Work and persistence to achieve it. All of us want to win. But how many of us are actually willing to go that extra mile? We do what we are told to do and nothing more. Friends, in the future, make it a habit of doing more than what you’re paid for. If you rationalize your laziness with lack of pay, you have condemned yourself to stay lazy, poor and miserable forever. How can you demand for more when you have not been giving more ?
I was working in a call centre after my twelfth. My boss delegated a task of researching numbers and addresses of educational institutions in India to me and some of my fellow colleagues. They ended up giving approximately 100-200 schools’ details as it was the target. I on the other hand was the only person to give more than a thousand. I did it not for the money. I did it because I want to make it a habit of putting in a 110% in whatever I do.

A wise man once told me, "The only difference between ordinary and extra ordinary is 'extra'. So let's all strive to give that extra in life and be more than just ordinary."

So if you ask me, "kaisa laga?" I have but one answer- ACHA LAGA!! :)
Thanks again sir.
