I write this
article for ISM Literary club (ISMLC). Would like to thank Abhishek , Zeeshan
and others to give me a opportunity to write on this group. Really excited to
see an active group like this does exists. I will try to be short and crisp below.
It was a vacation time and I happen to join my family at my
in-laws place in Jaipur last month. During one of the conversation my
Brother-in-law asked my seven year old son, what he would like to become when
he grows up. The answer was “ Papa would like me to become a doctor or a
engineer, I know no body becomes that just like that, I need to study hard for
that but one thing is sure I want be become Happy when I grow”. We all were stunned and went into a shell of
thoughts on a very important life lesson we just heard form a 7 year old kid.
We all have ambitions and fair share of success and
failures. I do not intend to be preachy here but want to say some learning from my life so
far.
- Thanks to the new world we are in, there are plenty of opportunities for everyone. For sure our parents have seen a tougher life in terms of opportunities open for them.
- This new world has whole lot of comforts but than we do have our own set of problems too. My generation is just somewhere in middle of what the parents of ISMLC and the members are. Hence I know when your parents say that you have all the comforts in life which they did not have you can very well argue that you have a different set of problems to tackle with.
- Uniqueness of Idea is too difficult to come hence are at big premium. If you thought you have a very unique new idea, just check it out some one has worked volumes on it already. If other guys were not successful it does not mean that you will also fail in it.
- With hard work you are likely to get luckier but then you need to stop comparing your luck with others. Need to accept disproportionate distribution of luck, world is like that only.
- It’s important to love the work you do for earning your bread but do cultivate lots of hobby so that in your life you never retire.
These were purely my observations and learning in life, I am
not too old to conclude this list hence it is growing. I am not too young to
not have my won five points of learning.
