Life

It's amazing how much people change with time and place. Four years back i was a little kid having a lot of aspirations in his mind and carrying a bag load of expectations on his shoulder. Well.. after this time period i wont say i have managed to fullfill everyones expectations but i believe its important that i'm satisfied with myself,which i'm. The aspirations are still alive and kicking if not with even more vigor than before. 

Feeling satisfied and living under the shelter of this satisfaction is not life. Getting satisfied with your result and striving harder to make things better is important. Complacency is a killer.You should know that when you become complacent and take the back seat there is no coming back. Its inevitable that someone younger and more potent will come along and kick you out of your chair.

People say Karma is the way to be. But is that really possible? I was talking to this senior employee of ISRO one day and he adviced me to strive hard without depending on the end result..But if i'm not wanting anything then will i work hard? Doesnt my effort depend wholly on the expectation of reaping a greater reward in the future?? I'm not questioning the integrity of anyone here but i'm asking myself what i want to be... A hypocrite or a true Karmic? i might never find out.. i'm also a part of the society and my life depends on a lot of others and vice versa. 

I'm nearing the end of the golden part of my life. I've had a lot of fun all these years and found great peers and learned a lot about life. Now its time to get my priorities straight and clear. I'll have to prepare myself to face the upcoming challenges in life, be optimistic about it and fine tune myself into a more sound individual capable of keeping his head on his shoulders.
