Trying In Trying Circumstances

Most of the feats are achieved under trying circumstances. If the same people were in convenient conditions, they might have not got the same results. It is because of the pressure of those adverse circumstances that made them achieve what they did. It was because they burnt all their bridges & destroyed all their ships, that they were left with no other choice but to be victorious. They destroyed everything that came in the way between them and their goal. They never looked for help; they only hunted for opportunities & they got these in plenty. Once they got opportunities, they needed no resource because they knew they were the best resource available in those conditions.

Party Hard

Bad part of the gift called life is that you get it only once but the good part is that if you use it right, one gift is more than enough & you enjoy every bit of it. The tragedy is not that the gift doesn't last long, the tragedy is that while it lasts we tend to ignore it. We only unwrap the gift when we are about to start a new journey to a new & unknown land & cant carry it with us. By the time we realize how beautiful a gift life was, it is already late. So, we suffer not only during the party but also after the party. The mantra is to give yourself this gift quite early & party hard till you depart.    

Imagination Run Wild

The best part about imagination is that it doesn't have any limits or rules. It runs wild and fetches some of the weirdest ideas. It doesn't conform to any system nor does it allow any restriction.Once it gains momentum, it gathers highest speed in no time. It ventures into territories unheard-of by ordinary mind & performs some unthinkable tasks. If this be the case, why does an ordinary man shy away from it? Simply because he thinks it to be impractical. Doubts are created in his mind and he prefers living a routine life and departs as an ordinary soul. If only he understood the magic of imagination !       

Ignorant Genius

The most knowledgeable person is not the one who presumes that he has learnt a lot, but the one who knows that a lot is to be learnt. Knowledge is more dangerous than ignorance if knowledge stops any further growth of itself. Ignorance is good because it tells you that you don't know & also that you can know if you make a little effort. Another problem people confront is that they presume gaining knowledge is good only up to a certain age. This thought comes from a myth that knowledge is good only if it is used to gain something. Since we stop nursing any ambition of earning name, fame or money after a certain age, we stop learning as well. The truth is that knowledge should be gained only to contribute and that can be done at any age. 

From End To Beginning

Endings are not to be mourned; they should be welcomed. Though they indicate the end of something old & worn out, they also signal something new. No doubt, some endings are painful and traumatic.  It is not because of the ending but because of our attachment to the thing or person that ends. So, the only way we can lead a balanced life is to detach ourselves from everything that is transient & attaching ourselves to all that is eternal. Instead of attaching to the person, attach yourself to the never-ending learning or love of that soul. The person may end but you may forge a new relationship with his ideas & philosophy even after his departure.

Making Things Easier

Nothing is difficult or easy. We are either familiar to it or not. Walking is the easiest activity. it comes naturally to everyone. But it is not so easy to a child who is learning to walk. To him, crawling is a cakewalk. But walking needs efforts & practice. Once the child learns that, he enjoys every bit of it. But then, it becomes a routine & he moves to another activity. And the learning continues till he masters all basic activities viz. talking, walking, running etc. He learns these quite fast because he never thinks these to be difficult. He only thinks in terms of familiarity or unfamiliarity. But when he grows up, he changes his thought pattern & starts thinking in terms of possible or impossible; difficult or easy- and his growth is stunted. If only he knew that all things become easy once you master these. And the way to master anything is to begin & continue trying till you learn it. There is no other way to make difficult things easier. 

Scare Yourself

 Though human being is fit to face any kind of challenge, he develops cold feet when confronted with a new one. We are comfortable doing the same things daily but very uncomfortable in a tough situation. It is because we wait for the challenge to come to us. We don't invite challenges. Inviting challenges is considered akin to inviting troubles. The fact is that the more challenges you meet, readier you are for the next one. Do something daily that scares you & shocks other. This will benefit you two ways- one, you will learn new things much faster than others & secondly, and in consequence to the first fact, you will never be afraid of challenges in your life. In fact, you will enjoy every challenge that comes your way.
