Last evening spent some good time with my friend Rajesh, discussing what is life and what should be a man’s ultimate goal. Interesting topic, isn’t it?

Well, you can discuss this day and night still can’t find any conclusion, but I tell you what, we both were agreeing with full conviction on one consequence in just couple of hours.

I believe, life and its fundamentals are very simple, but it’s we ‘that’ make it so complicated. When we says that god give every one of us the equal privileges to live the life at its fullest, it means every one of us can be evenly happy, no matter what resource or materialistic chattels they possess.

You, me and Anil Ambani, if we all are in happy mood in our own world, we will be equally happy, and its not that I would be happier or Anil would be happier than rest of us. That also means that happiness has nothing to do with how much wealth you hold.

When India won Cricket world cup last year, do you remember everyone who loves this game of cricket was equally happy? Tell me what a little kid needs to be happy. It’s just you calling his/her name. That’s it. But when we grow up, we know we need so many things for us to be enduring happiness.

Unfortunately most of us start associating materialistic objects with happiness. We forget that a man driving Maruti car can be just as happy as the man driving Ferrari

So we conclude on life is all about you being happy, and the ultimate goal of life is to be happy; no matter what you do, how small or big your house is, no matter how small or big business you runs, if you are happy with it than nothing like it.

See you soon
Cheers!!!
Be Happy

And you think that you are always trapped in it. You feel cheated, embittered and frustrated.

Today I have gone through such experience,  I asked for the soft copy of my photograph taken by big renowned photographer of this city, he  gave me a small 500×350 size copy….and when I asked for a big, better resolution copy he asked me to pay some Rs. 2500 (Approximately USD 50 ) extra for a big copy of it.

I mean it’s my photograph; I should be the legitimate owner of its negative or of all form in digital media. Why I should pay more to get a high resolution copy of it. I feel so, may be am wrong or may be I am right but I just want to dig it out more and find out the legal point in it.

The most annoying thing is that I specially ask the guy to gave me a big size soft copy of my image, (at least a little more bigger than they usually provide to their customer but still he disregarded my call and gave me smaller one. I only asked him to make it a few more pixels fat. That’s it.

Pathetic, can’t say why people find it hard to do the business fairly.  I mean what’s the point, what’s the logic behind it. I just need to understand the actual logic why do businesses misrepresent the fact and try and steal your hard earn money in a flawed way. Why?

But can you tell me, when you look into the mirror, and before anyone say that you are looking handsome or gorgeous today, you says this to yourself?

I mean you want other people to love you, but how much you love yourself. Loving yourself is not a strange thing, and you shouldn’t avoid it (Trust me). If you are working very hard day and night, you are struggling to become a BIG man, if someone comes and ask you why are you doing all this much of labor, probably your answer would be, “Man am doing all this for my family, for my son, for my daughter or for my wife; but inside you, you know that you want for yourself, right? You want to gift it all to yourself.

But you can only do that if you love yourself.

You must say that you love yourself, at least once in a week. Let me ask you this straight, when did you last time said this to yourself. I probably know the answer.

If you ask me “I always say this to me, no matter what most of the guys I know says or what rest of the world says.”

I found this interesting video on YouTube about “The Man with Golden Voice” and how his life changes in span of just couple of months. A true story of rags to rich. I am sharing this one, a delight to watch.

And one answer on which we both got agreed was, “the ability to make decision”. Well this is the thing which makes huge differences. Well whatever you are today is the result of decisions that you have taken in past.

In other words decision is nothing but a process of killing the nonproductive options and going for the right one.

Living with too many options at one point of time isn’t a good idea, it may distract you to achieve your ultimate goal. The ability to make right choice at the right time is what makes a person

So the person who says “this is the only thing I can do” always has a better chance to get success than the person who says “I can do anything”. Sound weird but it’s true (trust me).

See what you can do best and just go for it, killing all the other distractions.

That’s it

Cheers!!!
