Day and night...

Sat, 31 Jan 2009 15:03:54 +0530

Day and night
I toss and turn, I keep stressin my mind
I look for peace but see I dont attain
What I need for keeps this silly game we play
Now look at this
Madness to magnet keeps attracting me
I try to run but see I’m not that fast
I fink I’m first but surely finish last

Success My Way

Tue, 13 Jan 2009 01:48:57 +0530

Victory, Accomplishment, Truimph have kinda same meaning - Success (Open a Dictionary, you lazy bumm!). What is Success to you? Is it passing in examination with good marks? Getting a Job in MNC? Winning an election or lottery? Earning a lot of money? or maybe just simply having a girl-friend?
The meaning of success is different with person to person. Hell, As we grow up (or grow down in some cases) our look on success changes. For a four year old success is not passing urine in bed, for a 10 year old success is sleeping alone in bed, for a 15 something teenager success is having friends (of opposite sex), people who are in their late 20’s consider having a stable job a success, for people of 30-40 age group succes is having money (loads of money), At 60-70 success is being able to do his/her own work without depending on others. At age of 80-90 success is not passing urine on bed (believe me, old people often behave like children and we should look after them carefully ).

Is all this really success? In my opinion these are merely outcomes of sucecss. In reality- Success is being able to laugh with others without worry, victory is to win respect of intelligent people ( thats what I’m trying to do with help of this blog), accomplishment is to win affection of children, achievement is to endure betrayal of false friends, and most of all Success is being whatever you like with your own terms.

Everybody wants to be successful. As the say Success brings people together, and failures makes them orphans. Luck is NOT a contributor in success. Its just an excuse for lazy. Never leave anything to chance. Sucess comes from within. You don’t need extraordinary money for it just a few traits,

Fearlessness :A fearless mind has no anxiety and peace prevails there. As Master Yoda ( Yoda who? oh common, that dwarf like green thing from star wars.. man!!) says - Fear is the path to dark side. With fearlessness comes confidence to talk with anybody and everybody.

I am fearless, atleast I think I am. Always open to challenges. The only thing I fear is ‘Holi Festival’, but that can never be a hurdle in my success. Can it?

Will Power : Those who have strong will power are away from any weaknesses like laziness, postponing mentality etc. I completed this article in time is a proof that I have a super strong 3X willpower

My willpower is strong enough. No matter how much sleepy I am, I can always stay up all night. OK! Sorry, I lack willpower, but I even out my this weakness with sheer talent . OK OK! I’m working on it!

Punctuality : Nobody likes to wait really! Be punctual about everything. If you want your future to be as bright as teeth of that girl in close-up advertisement. Start preparing from today. The golden rule - ‘Never postpone a thing till tomorrow, what can be done today.’ As they say - Present is cash, Future is cheque (may bounce). Kya Pataa- Kal Ho Na Ho.

I am a lazy punctual person but thats changing rapidly.

Constant Reading : Knowledge and success are just two sides of same coin. With knowledge comes success, with success comes knowledge (called experience). As we say ‘knowledge is strength’. Read as much as you can. Comics, manga, Magazines, Newspapers, Novels, Blogs or wikipedia. Everything! In life when you encounter a problem, you can only make descision based on your knowledge. The more knowledge you have the perfect your choices will be.

No worry in this department. If there is one thing I can never stop, thats reading. And most of the credit goes to my friends from twitter and my blogger friends.

Discipline : It comes with punctuality, willpower and knowledge.Desciplined people rarely fail when it comes to professional or personal matters.

I am disciplined. ~period~ ~peace~

Honesty : Honesty is the best policy. Its not just a useless saying. Honesty can save us from unnecessary lying. When you make a mistake, be honest and correct it instead of hiding it.

I am not honest. I never was, I never will be. Thats a built-in defect and my warranty expired that moment I was born.

Self Confidence : Maybe you are not the best, but you are better then rest.History is created by people who believe in themselves. Even if we can achieve 10% of what other great people like Einstein and Newton achieved, thats success, innit?
As George Barnard Shaw once said- “A reasonable person adapts himself to world, but a unreasonable person adapts world to himself, therefore all advancements depends on unreasonable.” Be confident about what you believe, and success will kiss your legs, lol ( its cheap translation from सफलता आपके कदम चुमेगी| हाहाहा).

I am not confident either. I can not speak in public (I r having glossophobia), It doesnt mean I have a fear of stage - I can dance or sing or perform in front of crowd, just can’t speak. I fake confidence. It works though in some cases. Need to work a lot.

So the moral of story is, I am on my way to success, and there is no way way stopping me, or is there? I’ll explore that in next blog entry. Good Night World, I need to go code my JAVA-IM. Its already 1:50 AM.
