Me, Myself & Irony
Its been quite thought provoking these days. Yesterday, I was chatting with a friend of mine and he pointed out two characteristics of successful people (please...successful not the same as rich & famous). One, people who are or will be successful are brutally honest with themselves. Second, these folks have excellent communication with their own selves. Firstly, they communicate with themselves. Second, they have really good communication skills when talking to themselves. Its about clarity, not eloquence. It is OK to tell one's ownself that I am confused. The vital part is to "know" that one is confused and secondly, having the unfailing integrity to communicate exactly what one feels. It is one thing to know that I am confused and its another to tell oneself, "Well, know what, it is this stress at work and home which is kinda not letting me decide." This process can be truly grilling, but if I can learn to be naked with myself, I am half done!

I am not sure why. But sometimes I get irritated by your and Bhai's endless hunger to understand and explain life and analyse. Please donot get offended. Its my curiousity about your hunger that has been plaguing me. Sometimes, I wonder what keeps you endlessly philosophising life. Having said that. I also do that. Philosophize. Theorize better ways to live life. Something always keeps telling me that its not so complicated. It is simple.
I do not know why I endlessly keep judging you guys. May be becoz I want to be like you or may be becoz I want you guys to be like me.
really...being honest to ur own self is very important...makes life a lot simpler actually
