NOW IS THE TIME TO BE HAPPY

Have you ever wondered if you are unhappy about something; most of the times its something you dont have or something you are not or someone you want is not with you.
The thing is when we have it with us(i.e things we like) we dont value it because we are busy thinking about things we dont have.
This reminds me of my high school math teacher talking about a fool.He used to sleep on a tree all the time.When the ppl around him asked to study or do something worthwile,he questioned them about the profit of doing it. "Well if ya study u get to go to a gud place to study"The fool says what next."If you study at a good place u get a good job".NExt."a good earning".Then what."Fool u will have a comfortable life". The so called fool replies "I m comfortable now!"
Well for a moment i thought he was right.But actually he is right.
When we are kids u are asked to study to get to good college.Then u r asked to work hard for a gud higher educ or a job.In a job again work hard for a promotion, it goes on and on and oFF!
IT seems it ll never end .But i ve realised to be happy u dont have to b at a particular place or position.Though being there is important .
It is not the cause for happiness it wont be.
SO right now if you can be happy then we can be happy and successful with whatever we do.
But there is one moment where u cant be happy no matter how much u try that is when u r readin my writings!:D

TRUE WORTH

"Winning a medal in a race doesnt make you great. What i need is respect, there is no use acheiving without being disciplined." These were the words of my teacher of my school. Since then i had set my mind, no matter how weird the topics taught were i had immense respect for my teachers and the subject. I was called the most obedient, sincere, good etc student of the class. I used to look down upon every other bully in the class. If somebody in the class doesnt do his homework i thought it was a great sin and he was to punished to death for it.The reason i did my work was not something which i enjoyed doing, but rather was because of fear.

Years passed on equations changed, "I dont care if you dont wish me, i dont care if you dont talk to me properly, just perform or you ll perish" These were the words of my mentor of a very good training school in Bangalore for a very tough entrance exam.I had two contradicting statements in my head. One had stayed with me for years.I was fine tuned to it.Then here is something which i want to acheive for which it is necessary to follow the other one perfectly.

I met people who were extremely arrogant. Never cared of who they were talking to but did care about what they were talking on.I thought these guys would never acheive anything in life.Their arrogance would be there reason for failure. I thought no matter how much you know you must be a good person etc.

In the course of time i realised i was wrong.All those who i thought were arrogant were acheiving and i was going no where.That was the time i realised no matter how you behave it is the merit that counts. There is no point in being an obedient loser rather be an arrogant acheiver!
