Quote for a Soul

                                                

Long gone but indeed not separated, I can finally feel my keypad.But guess what, this time it is little different.Relishing yummy food at  RCI hostel with my roomie and other friends and smiling faces all across the mess, breath taking coverage of uttarakhand floods was a bitter taste on sweet platter.

As marked by Niel Armstrong on Moon " A small step for a human but a giant step for the Mankind". Probably quote would apply in every kind noble step which we all tend to initiate. With recent devastating mother nature color seen in Floods and Landslides of Uttarakhand and many innocent souls leaving the world, it definitely sparked a bolt to the human race. With so much of happiness and prosperity around, there is one corner of our country that is stranded with thousands of pilgrims paying devotion to our holy land and generation back culture. With death toll in hundreds and still ticking it is indeed one of the unexpected event that shook us all.

As always we could see the defense force of our country and other volunteers leading from the front to help and find kith and kin of thousands still missing.

 I am sure if you look this from the domain where we all are breathing today it should strike our mind that any activity induced in any system is an input from external environment ( from the society) and outputs the end result  to the external environment(for the  society).In the hoard of being ahead of from each other in this race we all should remember one race that prevails above all and that is human race. I am sure loss occurred in such events is definitely something that cannot be recovered with the power of money. Let’s mark this irrecoverable event by marking out quotes for the souls and may lord rest them all in peace.

Amen.

PRIDE V/S INTELLIGENCE

If asked a soldier to make a sacrifice for the pride of the motherland against saving his life in a War situation, I guess Pride would imprint a tough stand. And if the same element is compared to an individual who desire to buy a posh car against his tough financial stand It will be irrational to  replace Intelligence with pride.

In a nutshell  " Can Pride substitute Intelligence "..???????

Amazingly whole economy revolves  around this fact that in case rational mind constitutes intelligence  as the base then why good  of luxury pulls the concept of demand and supply. Let's take a simple look at this. When luxury is unnecessarily added as pride for one, ignoring intelligence it not  only plague other's finance but also throttle the balance of the economy. Eurozone crisis is nothing but a victim of this Barbarism where they weighted pride heavier then the intelligence. Knowing their inefficient tax collection system yet they promoted high public spending and event like Olympics at high cost budgets. Look at the situation now whole of the west is in financial whirlpool. I guess in these cases Pride was definitely for a shorter run but the pain remained for a longer run.

Not only at macro level to an extent roots of this comparison boils down to individual cases. Every day we  come across so many of them where in a  matter of pride riding in Posh car , dining in luxurious restaurants, branded clothes show off etc. takes a toll over intelligence.I am  definitely not against  the luxury as they are meant to satisfy human wants. But fetching it at the cost of intelligence is a definite irrational concept. Exchange of eye pooping dowries , Traditional animal sacrifices and various other customs like wasting food and other consumable products in water or plants etc. Should be analyzed  from the core of intelligence. Though pride marks its way here still adding little intelligence to it can help us spread more harmony and happiness.

To conclude maturity of prioritizing pride over intelligence is always backed by a noble cause. To quote an example some decision in our freedom struggle were of no brain but indeed they were there to safeguard our traditions, moral values and motherland. Your Pride should be a derivative of your intelligence not unawareness and Ignorance..

Burn Your Boats

Quite a time  I guess , I would have felt my keyboard. Staying away from it has never been so  easy. Daily drama of living moment With unproductive things definitely stales my mind. Anyway did anyone wondered How miracles happen? I guess none of it happens till the time you burn all your Boats. Before I can even connect it to my point lemme tell you all a story.This story is very special to me as well because I have seen the motivation it used to pump in during the last days of my deadlines. My manager Sridhar was the  first one to narrate it to me and I am sure if at all my other colleagues are reading it , they remember our good old days.

Alexander the Great’s powerful army spent years overwhelming Opposing armies in their conquests. His men were fierce and swelled with the The confidence that comes with consistent victory. Yet when Alexander and his men Arrived on the shores of Persia they were visibly outnumbered.  Clearly outmanned, his men pleaded that it would be wise to go back and get more men. Alexander responded by ordering the men to burn their boats. As their only Means of the retreat went up in flames, legend has it that Alexander turned to his Moan and said, “We go home in Persian ships, or we die.”

What I love about this story is that Alexander the Great made one Of the bravest decisions anyone can make by intentionally removing his Options.  His command sent a message to his men, but more importantly it Puts them in a new position: one defined by focus where there is no other Option but to do your absolute best… or be defeated.

Perhaps this is what we call living on the edge. Be it your  Personal desire, your business or anything which you dream , till the time we  Have options it might turn out to be  a failure too. To get it I guess its time for us to burn all our boats and live the day To achieve it thinking it is the last day of our life.
