In
this fast pacing world, we struggle to find little time for ourselves, where we
know what is going on in other’s life but are unaware about ourselves. We try
and understand the idiosyncrasy of our neighbors, our loved ones and at times
we miserably fail. Someone is busy trying to impress a girl, in a few cases the
so called 'girl' is replaced by a
manager or Boss for that matter. Some are hoping for positive replies to love
proposals and a few are waiting for negative outcomes in medical reports. Some
are confused about what career to choose and some are regretting on what they
have already done. Some are busy campaigning for the elections and some are
busy waiting for the justice to deliver. Have we ever tried and figure out
what's going right and what's not?
At
the age of 8-10, if one would ask a child “What
do you want to become once you grow up?” The probable answers would be ‘a pilot’, 'an astronaut’ or some would say ‘a police man’. As and when they grow, their answers to the same
questions would sound realistic, the guy now at the age of 16 would say ‘a Doctor, a Lawyer, or an Engineer’ and
so on. So, the relation says as one grows up, his/her sensible thinking is
inversely proportional to their age and that is probably what we call as Experience.
So as per this formula of experience, at the age of 60, one would be able to
say whether the decision to opt for a particular career was correct or not!
When do you feel that it’s not exactly going the way you once thought
it to be?
How do you feel when people treat you as unproven theorems?
How does it feel to see your ex-love happy with someone else?
How does it feel when you realize that life is not that fancy fairy
tale which you have been reading in books?
The
reality is that you are just riding the wave and going with the flow where confidence
and experience are inversely proportional. This is the stage of life where one
has already tasted the bitterness of above questions or just felt to realize
it.
The
time after graduation, at the age of 24 -25 years is what one might find all
these questions relevant. Where every single person encountering around asks
you about career, future plans, marriage and what not. The real thing is you
might not like facing those difficult to answer kind of questions, the right
questions at a wrong time in your life. You know now love is not that blind and
that friendship has its terms and conditions. But it is all fair. Probably this
is called Life.
As
it is rightly said by Robert Frost ‘A person will sometimes devote all his life
to the development of one part of his body - the wishbone’. It's good to be
a day dreamer because if not in reality at least it is about cherishing the
life you always want to live.
'Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep
moving.' – Albert Einstein.
