we can feel what's going to come

We always know. We can feel it. We always know how things end up. In the beginning we have a vague idea. As we go forth, the idea starts to take form and as the final day of execution closes, the vivid nature of outcome can be seen in front of our eyes. SO, WE KNOW HOW IT ENDS. WE CAN FEEL IT. IT IS ALWAYS THERE ALL AROUND US. Most of the times, we are unwilling to acknowledge its presence. It is a sentinel, it is guide. It directs us. Take its help. It is a silent sentinel and a good omen.  

So strong is the wind. It blows hard in my face. I can feel the gritty nature of the wind. The swirls of wind come in gusts. I hold my ground. No hesitation. I see my target clearly. It is neither close nor far. I take my bow and arrow. The first one hits the bulls eye. The second too. The third also made its way. The wind changed its direction. Now it flows from right to left diagonally. THERE IS STILL DUST IN THE WIND. i MOVE AND CHANGE MY PLACE. Now i move to my right, use the speed and the direction of wind to shoot the target again and again. It is a game that never ends. It is a game of success. one should learn how to take pleasure in playing. Play is hard. never assume it to be easy. It is hard. Play the hard part with pleasure. Learn it. Learn to win. Win becomes you

struggle to survive: It is pity

I watch people everyday. Almost everyday. They struggle to survive. They do not struggle less than those who struggle to excel. It is pity. If we just think of surviving, we will always be at the mercy of someone else. It is pathetic. The grace and joy of freedom does not lie with subordination. Especially, the subordination to survive. WE ARE BORN TO EXCEL.  The day to day language used by the people who just want to survive is the problem. It is this language that acts like a constant demoralizing autohypnotic drug that gradually degrades the spirit to excel.

Known answer & the question that is no more of interest

Does it matter? Does it matter even though we have the answer.  Does it matter when we know the answer and the question itself is no more a question of interest? 

who tells it is pain?

Let's not go after things just because they are more tough to pursue or just because there is more pain in it and because more people won't pursue that path. Lets pursue a goal because we can have the pleasure of travelling and because that is what we constitute.

By the way, who tells what is 'pain'? How in the world one can define what is pain? Is it the difficulty that is called pain or is it the temporary feeling of high level of discomfort that makes us call it 'pain'. who tells what level of discomfort is the minimum to call it pain?

Md. Ali, the boxer whom the world remembers never seemed to call receiving a punch in face 'painful'. Lance Armstrong never seemed to call riding his bike is painful enough to stop pursuing the goal even in the times of gloomy and bleak future. 

Technically speaking, the 'Pain' has two components. The 'physical' and the 'emotional'. Most of the times, almost all of the times, for a common man, it is the emotional part that strikes first. The blow is severe enough for most of the people to loose interest in pursuing the 'physical' part.

The physical part will obviously difficult. Lets not confuse 'difficulty' with 'impossibility' here. The level of uncertainty will be always there with any unaccomplished physical work. The uncertainty has to be converted into certainty. This requires the desire to succeed (a desire 'not to fail' is not sufficient), guided work and time.

Never to forget that pain is temporary and pleasure that comes from pursuing a tough task is long lasting.

The mean job

Never to do a mean job. It is disrespecting yourself. When you can not respect yourself and when you cannot respect your values, then how in the world another person can do that for you?

The work has to be intellectual. Let's take pride in intellectual work. At the same time, one should not get confused 'mean work' for 'physical work'. They are different completely.

The pursuit

It is foolish if any one thinks it is good to think just to survive. We are born to excel. The suffering and unfair treatment we get in our attempt for being ordinary and our attempt to survive is much worse.

True win= {[(a)(main goal)]-[(b)(finances)]-[(c)(time)]} / 3

The win formula, as i believe, should not rest solely on finishing job. From my business school experience, i can say that the 'win' should be seen from the perspective of at least 3 parameters. The goal, The Time, and the Finance. Out of these three, 'time' is the non-renewable resource. Let's not forget this.

The 'win' depends at least on these 3 parameters. The weightage of each parameter changes with the project. The weightage of 'Time' and 'Finance' should be least for any project. Least, not in relative terms. Not relative to the other parameters. But in their own terms.

                       TRUE WIN = { [(a) (main goal)] - [(b) (finances)] - [(c) (time)] } / 3


a,b & c are the weightage that one gives these parameters. They change as per the project. 


We must understand that 100% is almost impossible. What we should always try is to reach as close possible as to 100%. 

Once a project is over, one should treat himself for pursuing the goal. Furthermore, b'fore one starts any project, it is always good to analyse oneself using SWOT (Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities and Threats) analysis to understand the depth, risks, threats of the project and limitations of oneself.

I have my goals pretty clear

I have my goals pretty clear. As clear as crystal water. very clear and rigorously checked out. I have my principle goal. Then followed by two supporting and self satisfying goals. They are continuous. They define me. I am very clear about defending them. I know how to defend them. The giant lighthouse has to be built strong. The light that comes out of it should be sharp and unquestionable. The journey will be perilous but that is where the most joy lies. The day to day pain of ordinary life is miserable. Let us take the pride in having pain that comes from pursuing tough and ambitious goals.

when you get up in the morning, the whole world looks different. In a way, you seem to be far ahead of many.

It touches the skies and it's shadow tall and strong all over.
