My take-away from life at 23 !!

In the past few years, As I experienced different aspects of my small life, met different people, lived in unexpectedly, many a times unacceptable environments, numerous incidents which unconsciously influenced my social & attitudinal DNA helped me realize my take away/learning from life. In short, let's see...

  • Rule One…No rules

If u want something u never had, u need to do what u have never done. For this, u need to get away with the rules based on past life or happenings which are not going to be repeated since u want something that never was. I am not against basic social or academic framework which gives nutrition to free thoughts but I am against the unwanted religious, political & especially moral regulation of life. Don’t allow your life to be propelled by other’s examples, set your own.

  • Love yourself

Against the general perception, loving yourself doesn’t means being selfish & if it then let it be. It means respecting your decisions, experiencing your presence in every breath & enjoying being yourself. Believe me, nothing wrong in it.

  • It’s not always grey, sometimes it’s black & white    

Sometimes u can’t content yourself with something out of full, in those sometimes it’s one or none, yes or no. Everywhere u won’t find the middle way” or “most optimized solution” as they say in management.

  • Listen to all but ultimately zero on what your heart say

It’s really important to listen to others on anything coz an individual by inheritance is unable to look at every aspect & hence such listening will allow you to weigh different options available. But while making a decision don’t allow any foreign thought to influence coz in the end its you who has to face whatever comes as consequence & u should be at least satisfied that you chose the result

  • Whatever you dream, chase it to your last breath

There can be nothing worse than realizing that u were just short of your aim & if u had done “A Bit” extra, u could be the winner. Live your dream & never let your conscious realize that it’s beyond your reach. Again, let me clear myself, I am not saying that by doing this you would be successful every time but you would be satisfied with your efforts for sure

  • You can’t satisfy all, set your priorities

Unfortunate truth of life, if your decision is a consequence of your efforts to satisfy all…my apologies, actually no one is satisfied completely. Everyone will crib about that iota more that could be done in their view & this is your ultimate defeat. Prioritize your target beneficiaries. Whenever this term is flash in your mind, u think of your parents whose real happiness is in your happiness…so think again

  • Execution is more important

You dream on your soft matrices in the warmth of your blanket but to bring it to reality, u need to burn the mid night oil. The bigger u dream, the more oil u need
