Words of enlightment

These are thoughts that reflect all that i have learnt untill now

 A good critic is a mirror which shows your true self.

 A Genius is not a person who doesn’t commit mistakes, but one who learns from them and never repeats them again.

 The real quality of a WINNER is not winning at all times, but winning when required.

 He who blames others blames himself.

 “Obstacles are stepping stones to success”, but if they come together they are tombstones.

 A person, who loses a battle despite fighting hard against a better opponent, has actually won the battle even before it began.

 When you depend on a person strongly then you have started digging your own grave.

 Be good. But never be too good, it hurts badly.

 A Scientist is one who discovers something that already existed, but was left unnoticed.

 If you love somebody, let them free, if they ever come back, ask them why? If they answer truly, accept them.

 Every good leader was once a good follower.

 There is nothing called equality and the only place where it exists is called UTOPIA.

Time

Time:

There is a saying, “The only thing that never changes is change itself”, but there is one thing that stays for eternity other than change. That is Time. What a contradiction, when you think of the concept called Time, we realize that it is man-made. But Man didn’t discover or invent time; he just coined a term for it. Time is not god, but it is equal to god, it is omnipresent, but we can’t feel it, see it, hear it or even understand it. Even the greatest saints and philosophers have failed to give a proper definition of time.


Let’s take a simple example: in Earth, we say that one year is equal to 365 day, 6 hours and 25 minutes approx, but a year, in a planet such as Jupiter, is actually equivalent to 12 years on Earth. SO what does the term” Year” exactly mean? Should we take the Earth year as a standard or should we decide that one year is the time taken by a planet to go around the Sun??????? Is time a standard or is it a variative?

We stupid humans think that we have understood time by just coining terms like Past, Present, Future, AM, PM, AD, and BC. But what we never realize is that all these terms are relative. What we call present today is Past tomorrow, what we call yesterday was actually Today a day before. SO are we right, have we understood Time.

The greatest scientist of all time, Albert Einstein once explained the time dilation principle by saying “A man sits with a beautiful girl for over an hour, but it seems like a minute to him. But when the same man is made to sit on an oven, even for a minute, it seems like an hour”. The example is self-explanatory; Einstein tried to prove the variance of time by a simple concept. If you try to go deeper into the concept of time and try to explain it, you are more likely to get more questions than answers.

This article, or piece of stuff, or whatever you call it, is just an attempt to write creative things. I hope that I can write much better articles in future.

To be or not to be

It has been a year since I started working. My professional life has started influencing my character a lot. All through my life, I have been a very emotional and sentimental character, but now I see that I have to change, change rapidly, because in a corporate world, there is no value for sentiments. I have learnt a lot during this short period. One of the most important lessons that I learnt was, “Never be sentimental or emotional, because whenever you are sentimental, you tend to depend on a person or thing which makes you dependant and affects your growth, never be emotional because people may use your emotions (Read “screw you up”) and may take advantage of your emotions”.

I also learnt that self-confidence, career orientation, and professionalism are the keys to succeed in life. My biggest problem is that in order to become a professional, I have to mend my ways, to say it shortly, “I have to be what I never was” that is Non-sentimental, professional, career oriented and in a way, selfish. When I asked myself this question, “what do I want to be, just another good human being or a great achiever”, the answer that I got was clear and obvious. My brain agrees with it, but my heart vehemently disagrees. So I find myself in a dilemma “To be myself and live an ordinary life or change my ways to become an achiever”. The questions still remains answered “To be or not to be”. Only time will answer.
