Key to Failure

"I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody" - somebody

This quotation must have been said after a thorough experience of the same. This has happened for me too. Instead of going by what I think, I try to think mostly on what others might think. It makes me a compassionate person...Agreed! But, does it help any further? As always, I have landed myself in an open-ended question.

Trying to please everybody is definetely a mammoth task. First of all, there are lots of people to be considered. Then, their different moods. To add more , the different situations. And, there comes the limitation of my own character and core values. Oh...How many variations? Instead of concentrating on the actual thing in hand, if my thinking is diverted on pleasing everybody, then my Goal is diluted as well.

So, watch out!!!

Did I stop thinking for a while?!!!

Most of the times, I get enthusiastic about a lot of things. I participate in them. But, after a while, the intial enthu starts dying out. Is this the same reason for me not blogging all these days? Well...It could be.

It is always nice to have a soul mate to share all the thoughts I have. It so happened that, when I thought about blogging here, my mind was bombarded with so many thoughts. I felt I was stuck with Graphospasm for a while. I managed to get out of it. I feel, I can be a perfect example for the State of Inertia. When I stopped blogging here, I like the state of not writing...and it continued till now. With some extra energy, I forced myself out of this state and I guess, entered another state of inertia where I will write continously for some time :)

Rain Rain Go Away!!!

Bangalore is caught under the anger of Varuna. People say, nearly after 15 years this heavy rainfall in bangalore. Everybody gets a feel of it right from Karnataka, Tamilnadu till Andhra Pradesh. May be nature is the only element which disregards the differences between living beings.

Water ( a combination of rain water, drainage, mud and garbage) entered the houses. There is no way to stop it. In some lanes, water was upto knee level and in some lanes, it was upto chest level. "Expect the unexpected" - For some who didn't expect this effect were the most affected.
Roads were flooded. Man holes were opened. There were 9 causalties in just 2 days of rain. It is scary!

I have wondered why only 20% of the rain falls on land and why 80% in ocean. But, I see the reason now! Rain Rain Go Away....

"Mastering the Master"

I was attending a presentation skills workshop. This was the topic I chose to present - "Mastering the Master"

Here is what the Master says, "Compared to me, other wonders of the world pale into insignificance". I read a book from Reader's Digest which quotes this for the Human Brain. It is a wonderful book which gives insight into human body parts and its functions. It was earlier known as "I am Joe's body" and now "Know Your Body".

Brain is indeed an interesting topic to discuss both in physical and psychical sense. It is amazing to know about the conditioned (Conscious Mind) and unconditioned mind ( Subconscious Mind). This is what the book says about unconditioned mind, "What you sow , you reap! if you sow good seeds, you reap good fruits! If you sow bad seeds, you reap bad fruits! " So are our Thoughts !!!
