Writing after long.. Blame the overrated course called ‘Yem Bee Yea’, otherwise I’d’ve been an established author by now with 100 books published :P Ok sarcasm n jokes apart, Today I’m gonna talk some sense. Or something that I think is sense :D
You know… We all aspire for things in life...! To become this, that. To get here. To get there. No, there’s nothing wrong in it. One must…. I say…… aspire, dream and work hard for it. I have learnt it the hard way. Point I am going to make here is not to discourage one from working hard. But this will certainly soothe pain of those who have aspired for something but achieved something lesser. Believe me, it happened for a reason. It is not about accepting the defeat. It’s just about facing the reality.
So, we aspire for things in life. Right? But on what basis?
We evaluate whether our abilities, capabilities are enough for us to get there, thus considering only those aspects of ourselves which are positive. But I feel, what we eventually get is something that also takes into account our negatives. This is where my philosophy of life starts, I have learnt this from experiences- personal and around me. So my examples would be related to engineering, MBA, PG entrances to put it broadly, cos that’s where I come from as on 7-2-2012. :P
So, It’s like looking at a company and analyzing it. You are awed by looking at the assets and come to establish that the company is doing good! But the picture is incomplete until you check its liabilities and check whether company is able to pay back the debt while in the condition it is in.
Or….. say it’s like looking at a PnL statement… Looking only at the Sales Revenue is not correct. You also need to account for what’s your ‘Cost’ to come to the actual Profit—i.e. what you are actually worth of.
Similarly, rather than only concentrating on positives, one must also consider negatives while expecting something in life. Now, one is not so capable of evaluating oneself so critically as to get a true picture of what he deserves. So leave it up to Him i.e. God !
To substantiate this with an example:
Take my case, I thought I am fairly good to crack CAT and therefore I took the exam with an expectation of getting into an IIM. I certainly expected more than what I could perform/resist/realize. Or, say, I did not consider my drawbacks but only strengths. Fine, but what I landed up with finally? ---> Something that was in equilibrium with what I am. Something that suited me. Something that matched my personality. Getting into IIM would have meant staying away from home. But today where I am, I’m not actually away from my home (just giving an example, eh) … And who took care of it? HE did! I got something that did justice to my positives but also by taking into consideration my negatives.
They say that- Jo apni marjee se nahi hota, wo USKI marjee se hota hai and that is always better.
That’s soo true. And believe me… USKI marjee is actually a complete package for you! The most you can do, to increase the odds of getting closer to what you expect, is by augmenting the positive part of you.
Ok. Having said that, I don’t mean that one is less capable than someone else. Everyone has his core competency which is different from others’. So, what if the person sitting next to me in my classroom is wonderful at understanding the financial statements and I am not….! It’s ok. As I said, everyone is good at something or the other. I take solace in the fact that I can write philosophical blogs and that’s where he struggles :P …. I hope you get the point I’m trying to make :)
A linear combination of unit vectors is always unique, like, all faces are made up of eyes, nose, lips, eyebrows etc… and yet everyone looks unique. How? Its linear combinations of these various unit vectors!!!! :) Vector logic applies everywhere. And to all !
Homework:
Then, Think why all Chinese look similar?? :P :P
Goodnight/day!
