Hey reader,
It’s 28th of January, and still leaving conversations incomplete with the same person. But before I talk about the person, let me thank to the people who read my previous blog, Thank you so much for reading, commenting and reaching out to me personally. You all are amazing, each one of you! Some friends didn’t like me to thank them, but here’s it to all of you, Gratitude is in and should be in everyone’s Attitude. So, no matter how close or far you are to me, I am and will be thankful, always.
“Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today,
and creates a vision for tomorrow.”
Melody Beattie
Some people are curious too, about that “wonderful person”, here’s a clue to them, that person is a student but is a teacher, to many! Let’s see how far you go now, just kidding.
Now here is a request, I’d like you to read ahead only if you’ve completed the “Know Yourself” task from previous blog. Many of you would think that they know themselves without that task as well. Okay, so are you family-oriented person? Are you on-the-go person? What does failure means to you? What is the best that you have ever experienced? .. and so on. Do you know answers of all such questions? If not, please go onto that task, trust me you will be amazed to know how amazing you are.
We all are running and it’s just one thing, “Happiness”. Though, the meaning of happiness changes from person to person. Some find it in career, some in person, some in money and some in moments.
Well these are just few things, but i would like to talk on these four first.
Career, one word, we all start to listen and keep listening as we reach to age of 18 years and until we have our personal bank account into which the numbers start flowing in every month and to that very specific date. Once reached there, your parents won’t run after with this word but might be some other M word. Don’t laugh, that’s even more serious one, just kidding!
“Climbing to the top demands strength, whether it is to the top of Mt. Everest
or to the top of your career.”
APJ Abdul Kalam
By the time, I am writing this blog, I’m very recent to this phase and seen so so many examples of people running for career. Some are so focussed that I feel lucky they are my friends. Just keep going with that pace, you going to be legends some day.
Some are working hard but somehow gets confused whether they are doing good or not. For all of you who sometimes doubt your career options or decisions, first, acknowledge and accept your decision and more of that, respect it. Second, if you are so strong with the belief that its not the thing you want to do at all, then you have to dare for yourself and take the call for what you want to do. Be brave, and others be or not, I will be always a text/mail away if needed anytime.
Then, there are some who worked so hard to reach where they are, and it’s still a halfway mark, but are totally distracted with the addictions. Addictions of people, addictions of drinks, addiction of smoke and addiction to procrastination. With the current pace of competition, I don’t think that anywhere or anyone is going to wait for you to come out of your addictions in a single hit as he may found a dozens better than you while you be ready. It’s actually so fast. So wake up till it’s too late.
Remember from first blog, everything is temporary, this time as well. So, it might be looking good and having fun but who won’t choose Good Times for the lifetime rather than for a short period of time.

Readers, before I talk about other three things viz. Person, Money and Moments, I wanted to write something very important. This is something, we all see everyday, sometimes do it as well but we need to accept that this is one of the biggest enemies of society. I am talking about the cruel thing, called as Bullying.
“What if the kid you bullied at school, grew up, and turned out to be the only surgeon
who could save your life?”
Lynette Mather
By blowing out someone else’s candle, doesn’t make your shine any brighter, but in fact will dilute the overall luminosity. It doesn’t means if you are stronger, you should dominate but in fact should become the pillar who can provide support to others, be it physically, emotionally, financially or socially. People who are often bullied, there’s one thing for you all which I saw or read somewhere. Never reply with hate, anger or try to dominate the bullying person. The purpose of bullying is always to shatter your confidence. Never ever doubt yourself as no one knows what armoury you are possessing, and that can be unlocked only with your own potential and confidence.
Life is very very beautiful, why to deteriorate it with spots like procrastination and bullying. I have got another task for you, yeah.. one more.
You have to do one thing, the one you have always been procrastinating. Or the one you always feared of doing. Be it saying sorry to someone, or telling someone how much you love them. Be it making a sketch that’s long awaited or playing up your favourite instrument once again. Drop of your ego and chauvinism for a moment and just do it.
Once you have done it, write it down onto the paper (and not in the phone) about your experience and how are you feeling right now. I will tell you why I am asking to write it down.
Cheers!
“Again leaving this conversation incomplete about meaning of Happiness,
and you know it why!
Life is beautiful, enjoy and embrace it!”
