Don’t just have career or academic goals. Set
goals to give you a balanced, successful life. I use the word balanced before
successful. Balanced means ensuring your health, relationships, mental peace are
all in good order.
There is no point of getting a promotion on the day of
your breakup. There is no fun in driving a car if your back hurts. Shopping is
not enjoyable if your mind is full of tensions.
"Life is one of those
races in nursery school where you have to run with a marble in a spoon kept in
your mouth. If the marble falls, there is no point coming first. Same is with
life where health and relationships are the marble. Your striving is only worth
it if there is harmony in your life. Else, you may achieve the success, but this
spark, this feeling of being excited and alive, will start to die.
……………….
One thing about nurturing the spark - don't take life seriously.
Life is not meant to be taken seriously, as we are really temporary here. We are
like a pre-paid card with limited validity. If we are lucky, we may last another
50 years. And 50 years is just 2,500 weekends. Do we really need to get so
worked up? …………….
It's ok, bunk a few
classes, scoring low in couple of papers, goof up a few interviews, take leave
from work, fall in love, little fights with your spouse. We are people, not
programmed devices........." :)
"Don't be
serious, be sincere."!!
