OUR THOUGHTS
CREATE OUR
WORLD
Failing to do what we
love
Managing time
Never give up
Teaching others
A lot of us think whether we are doing the right thing in life, by studying
engineering, and pursuing a job that pays well. Are you one of those who sits
outside your hostel/house and think about what you have become, whether
you are happy? This one is for you.
Life is a rat race. A lot of us ran, are running, or will run. We fail to do what
we love. Stepping back a bit more, we don't even know what we love because
our parents are worried about other 'rats' in the rat race and want their rat to
race ahead and finish the race first. 90% of time, it takes years to let your
parents know you won the race and you want to move on to another race or
just let them know you are not a rat at all. I do not blame parents for this at
all, it is just how they should be thinking about their children. The blame is
on the student to realize late that he is not part of that race, and by the time
he realizes that, he cannot pull out of the race because other rats would think
he is crap and he spends rest of life thinking about the current race is he is
running on and what other rats around him are thinking. Are you a rat?
Even your close friend can easily demotivate you and thrash
everything you have in mind, set your boat on fire and push you aside.
THE 3 FS
There are 3 Fs in life that could decide what you become in life.
#1 Family: There is always pressure from family and relative who talk more about your career and life than you do. Most
of us work to satisfy their expectations and thereby in the journey, lose focus on your goal (Remember the rat race?). Did
you ever try to talk to your life partner or your parents to make your dream, theirs too? Success in persuading them means
you can persuade the whole world.
#2 Friends: Partnering with the right people is very important. As said before, its never a good idea to discuss your idea
with random friends. Anyone can demotivate, anyone can steal. If partnering with a friend for business, do a business
evaluation on him and have everything on papers. You never know.
#3 Flat: Is buying a flat your life goal? Do you want want to loan an apartment for 50-60 Lakhs and spend rest of your
young age paying back its interest? Do you want to get that financial burden bang your head everytime you think about
achieving your dream of creating a start-up company? Think. (Inspired from a recent article that was shared in Thirans
email chain)
A lot questions to answer.
