The Strategy for Life

Everyone is born with a purpose. Do you think the way I just thought?

I meet few preexisted and few new people in day. These folks just show up and do things whatever they are meant to do. Ummmm . . . .Let’s see. .  I will try to put forward my theory gradually. I am going to go through few personalities first -   

Lata Mangeshkar – She served billions of ears for many decades. I haven’t heard such a lovely voice while she sang. Pardon me! Ideally I meant, ‘I haven’t heard such a lovely voice when she 'talked' and not when she sang’ did she do anything else in her life than singing?

Sachin Tendulkar – The god who bats at number four for India is no different either. He is gifted. I am not saying he didn’t put a lot of efforts in his career initially, but the way he moulded his career at different stages, be it after his first world cup in 1992 or after his father’s death or after his tennis elbow injury or at the age of 37. Face it, he is gifted. Hard working cricketers for me are chaps like Mohammed Kaif, Suresh Raina. Anyway but don’t you agree with me that the batting maestro is sent only for cricket?

A.R. Rahman – With the sounds of Dil hai chhotasa, Yeh hansi waadiyaan, Rukmini rukmini he entered into the hearts of people by getting national awards for Roja. He did not disappoint for next 2 years when he literally stole people’s heart through musics of Gentleman & Kadalan. Since then from 1992 he did not miss a single year for bagging a filmfare. He always got it either from Tamil or Hindi or many times from both. Does this maiden Oscar winner from nation deserves to do other than what he is doing continuously for so many years?

To scrutinize, if you do what you love and what you are zealous about, and therefore can work on your passion with consistency then you can certainly experience the ultimate success.  

Forget about the celebrities. What about the common man? What about all the Sunils and Sanjays of this nation?

I'll dig deep into it. Organisms have a basic rule – survive & sustain (eat and reproduce in raw terms). This itself is a basic purpose of human life. Everyone will unquestionably agree with me if I say there is much more to human life than eating and producing babies.

This reminds me about how life in the city is different than life in the village. I was with a friend’s home. Her neighbor asked for a bowl of sugar. Even though my friend gave it, she gave it unhapppily. On the next day when I went to my village I was walking alongside of the farm. It was sugarcane and potato in the field. I asked the farmer working nearby and unknown to me if I can take some sugarcane. He left his work, came near to me & cut many sugarcane sticks and as well as potato and handed over me all the stuff happily without even asking a word. He gave me so much that I ended up getting tired carrying the stuff home. I have been observing this trait of villagers, farmers since I was a child. Why do people of cities have a shrinking attitude when they have everything?

The point of the above inscription is, hopefully my readers would think a little bit to 'live life to the fullest' and exist within every moment.

Find out what you really made for, find out the patience, strength required to accomplish the task (remember this line - ‘sooner or later you will make it’), Keep things simple. Go day by day and achieve consistently. believe that everyone in the world needs what you have. Learn to give – I feel it is a low level crime when people over-accumulate their knowledge in themselves. Learn that however you give, however you share; it is bound to comeback to you. It’s surely not going to go waste. Be a big hearted individual! Even if you are working class or someone from business, remember you got parents, wife, kids, friends and you gotta make time for them! Make full of your life. Nothing is more important than living a complete life.
