How do you measure your success or failure? Yeah, I am asking you. So think rather than just reading... Are these 2 sides of the same coin or are these 2 entirely different coins? Are these absolute concepts? Well, I don't know what are your answers to these, but as I am sitting here pouring whatever is coming to my mind.... I think.... I just can't define success or failure! I feel that my perception of success or failure is not my own, strangely, but its how others perceive my state as success or failure. But then I also believe that this is half truth. On the second thought I also feel that there is something inside me detrimental of my state. Targets!!! yes Targets.... I don't know about you, but I have always been driven by targets and if I achieve those then I got that feeling of success else otherwise. From my childhood to my present it has always been chasing something... in school - marks... on sports ground - the score.... in college - grades... on job - targets... But now comes the interesting fact. At the end of each of those targets there has been a rosy picture projected which, at least I, have been chasing. Good marks at school will help you to get in good college. Good score in college will help you to land with good job. Achieving targets at jobs will help to to get promotion. Well, as far as sports ground is concerned, it was about satisfying one's own ego... But above all, it was about social acceptance. So, here comes back my initial argument. Even the targets are about others perception of your success and failure.
The problem comes when there is a mismatch... mismatch in your targets... mismatch in motivational cherries at the end of targets.... mismatch in others acceptance and expectancy... I didn't give it a thought in past but something is happening around me which is forcing me to think.... think that its opinions that are weighing heavy... opinions, which, if you think calmly are worthless but still they are driving everyone around. Strange but that how we humans are... Social Animals... and no matter how much we try to cut ourselves off this crap, we will still be a part of it and there will always be a gravitational force existing between us and the rest (which considering the combined mass of 'others' would be infinite)... Does anyone know the way to break free of this? I don't know any, do you?
Success.... Failure.... and Opinions
Are figments of mind....
Like the figments of our imaginations...
Like the image of dreams....
Like the dreams of others....
Like the others perceptions...
Like the perceptions of success...
Like the success of failure....
Like the failure of opinions....
Like the opinions of none....
Like the none consisting of all...
Like the all except the self...
Like the self without a clue...
Like the clue hidden in blind...
Like the blindness of the mass...
Like the mass of society...
Like the society of opinions...
Like the opinions of failure...
Like the failure of success....
Like success... failure... and opinions... forming a vicious circle...

Nope.. Gravitational force won't be infinite .. gravitational force is (GMm/R(Squared)) ... Here R I guess will be social distance from the person concerned , which I believe will be large enough for most person to make it negligibile .... so we will be left with force of precious few clinging to us, whose opinions will count to us , which I believe is necessary to stop us from being a floating rock in sky .... :-/
Well in that case M would also not be physical mass, but emotional mass... and by God, tht is infinity raised to infinity...
btw, nice bakar ;)
yup ... but u have a constant emotional mass ..that is multiplied by emotional mass of other (towards you)... so G becomes proportional to (m/R^2)..(GM constant) ..since we have R squared , it has more chance of becoming negligible ...
Gr8 battle between an Eng. & a MBA guy... Engineers rock ... go Amit bhaiya go.. entire engineering fraternity is behind u..
And to the writer i just want to say well have himself come all the way walking to the aid of thirsty .. so take full advantage of this golden opportunity.. i hope u got my point ... Desirelessness ...
