When everything is said and done.
When the journey of your life is about to finish.
You might have been able to live your dreams or you might not have been able to make them into reality.
You might have tasted this bitter sweet pain called love or not.
You might have done the best you could have done or not.
But I ask what would truly be yours and will vanish with your existence.
Habits that you would have build in those long years.
I remember Warren Buffet saying something similar to a passing class of MBA's, that don't worry about your marks or your IQ. In the journey called LIFE,your habits will have much more to say in comparison to your IQ.
Back then it did not make much sense to me.
But then most successful people say some shitty things that normal people like me have a hard time to grasp.
I think today I could say that it makes perfect sense to me.
As I have been getting more information and have generated different perspective, over the years.
I could see how small were the battles of academia.
How little was expected out of us and we in our nativity would allow ourselves to be judged by someone else, who would make the rules of the game and would force us to run for the top position.
Guess what, you could be the best in winning those small battles but if you have not built everlasting habits from those experiences; I can assure , sooner or later you would regret wastage of your time and money.
This is my request to all students and people in general-
look for the deeper meaning behind your activities ....
ask why are you doing it and what are the core issues you are trying to address by doing such activity
Ask why the game is designed the way it is
I can assure you, most people have no idea about the bigger picture.... they are there because someone asked them to be... as most others.
Most people don't know what they want from life.
Don't be most people... be yourself... be brutally honest.... keep looking for the core reason for your existence.
I have a simple mission....
if every day I would sleep having slightly improved my habits... I would be a happier person.
I know whatever we put attention to .... it grows.... let me be very careful about my habits.
Keep Improving.
