Make your own rules

what would you like to do, once you have everything you ever wanted...
I believe you should ask this question in each and every situation...
i was utterly confused for a few days.
day and night people were suggesting me that i should do this or that ,it makes a lot of sense..... but deep within my mind i knew that it was not so.
one day this pain was unbearable, i ask myself one beautiful question.....
i know that there are material aspirations of my family members, and it would be wrong if i do not admit that i have my own material aspirations... but what if one day all these aspirations get fulfilled?what would be left to be done?
what if one day i have everything ever wanted ?
what would be the one thing that i would do till the end of my life?
... simple i came to this beautiful conclusion.... even if i have all the money this world has, it will not give me any happiness. i tell this from my own experience.... i my childhood there were many things that i had dreamt of having or doing. monetary limitation does not care about you material aspirations, hence in my childhood i did not enjoy things i wanted. but as grew up,i almost had everything i had dreamt in my childhood( i should mention... i had better stuff than i had imagined). it didnot give me any pleasure...
there was only one thing that was worth my time on the planet ..... knowledge, experiential and experimental knowledge

Clarity of thoughts
No matter how difficult and obscure a thing looks initially; be sure that our brain, after enough familiarity with the concept, will get hold of it. Our brain is designed to loath unfamiliar things, hence creativity is a gift not everyone can cherish. As creativity takes you into the unknown world you need to set precise rules in order to make use of ones creativity... otherwise, there is chance to come up with something extremely stupid.
I was reading bertrand russell and I was struck by clarity in his thoughts. I wonder how he could achieve such an immense clarity of thoughts. I realised that he was brought up in an orthodox victorian society with rigid lifestyle, but he chose to be a rationalist as soon he was in a position to accept his thoughts publicly. He quoted something absolute true... yet contrary to popular beliefs, " Don't be afraid to hold eccentric thoughts.. for thoughts that are wildly accepted today were eccentric once".
I can not help but salute his personality...
to be continued.
Work
Nobody loves you more than your work...
your work does not have emotions, it does not bother you.
the beauty of the work is ....... it will always be with you till the time you want it.

Pleasure ?
There are things that have diminishing rate of return and there are things that have increasing rate of return. No matter how much pleasure one derives from any activity it is meaningless to ones existence, If eventually one is going to be bored of it .... Then if one reason carefully about the activity then one will see its futility. Something that has diminishing rate of return is not economically and intellectual worth pursuing.
Task: try to count the number of activities in your life that have increasing rate of return.
Give me answer to this question.... remember to reason carefully.

Power of conviction
I realised that humans have only one power within them..... Power of conviction.
This power comes with a responsibility of choice...... Once we understand that everything can be done using this infite source of energy, we will never yearn for small things.
One can use this power for experimental pursuit of truth... That is what I have chosen to do...
Enjoy
