Gordon Gekko - Wall street continued..

fulfilling a little promise I made to myself... 

Gordon Gekko

Dont you believe in comeback guys?



.. I Do.. just wait a little while for it

I donno.. over a while, i have been introspecting myself - and if there is something that has come out clear is - that i dont throw in the towel - i hate losing ... definitely not because i love winning.. life has never stopped punching me in the face.. and i have not stopped getting up after each blow - i might be bleeding, but i will still carry-on..

Anyway

People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered,
Love them anyway.

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives,

Do good anyway.

If you are successful, you win false friends and true enemies,
Succeed anyway.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow,
Do good anyway.

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable,
Be honest and frank anyway.

People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs,
Fight for some underdogs anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight,
Build anyway.

People really need help but may attack if you help them,
Help people anyway.

Give the world the best you have and you will get kicked in the teeth.

Yet... Give the world the best you have got.

An year later...

'Time sprints' - a cliched term.. Things that I have learnt over the past one year - 1.) The world is not perfect and ideal, there are buggers all around - and unfortunately, you have to live with it - it is not gonna change.
2.) Slowly realizing that you gotta speak up - summarize everything - people are short of time.. and if you dont do that, somebody else will.. and will be heard over again and again - robbing all the credit of your hard-work.
3.) Become selfish - You live for yourself and nobody else.. tolerance doesnt help - on the contrary it is detrimental - people shouldn't take you for granted.

P.S.> I always give people the benefit of doubt... and hence dont make affirmative statements.. perhaps this has to end.

Gals - something that i have never been able to comprehend - given up on them... but, as TA Edison put it, i dont know the correct way, but i do know 999 incorrect ways of trying for a gal (just a little exaggeration and a display of some +ve attitude)

Some thoughts

Thoughts come to me only when I am tired chasing a goal.. the thought usually revolves around how a better plan could have helped... what should be done after reaching the goal... and more often retracts to world of philosophy which I feel go into because the mind is in a state of despair about the goal not being reached and sub-consciously wishes to escape the world... rarely did I see myself writing... unless I saw the writing clear on the wall... but over time I have realised one characteristic of myself.. that I dont give up.. and that I am capable of come-backs.. consistently... I am getting far more complacent than I should be.. wait.. call it laziness.. the day I shrug off procrastination and laziness, I bet there would be no match for me.. I am feeling very tired these days... may be work.... somehow... I did like to return back to some moments of past for a brief time and rectify them... but for all we know... the real world has no time-machine.. this was too much of writing for an amateur.. cheers .. goodnight

The final frontier

There are few places in this world that have engulfed me with a feeling of peace and solace. Nothing matches Vizag Beach - Kali Temple.. must say its the pinnacle of an experience. Ramakrishna Mission and then the shores of the beach..

Next in the list comes sunset over GVP College 1st yr classrooms verandah - ofcourse with the ringing bells of an evening aarthi at the neaby Saibaba temple

I have long turned from a little philosphical to a more practical person - but places like these bring me back to the mold - i deliberate on what is life for - the purpose - objective should be to make a difference to this world - I am trying to figure it out how... the laziness in me says that these are places to just relax your whole life at - But i know I would get bored in a while..
