Life in my eyes
Over the years, I have grown to appreciate life and the world with all its imperfections. I must confess that life is cruel and men are devious, wicked and callous. I have had a fare deal of man’s insensitivity, selfishness, cruelty and ingenuity with evil. Right from my childhood, I began to expirience these barbaric tedencies of men. Betrayal from close friends, family members etc.Those painful memories keep lurking in the shadows of my mind. They hurt me badly, although I try to live above them.
Inspite of all the boring tales of my expiriences, I still respect life and the world. I have come to see life as a mixture of the good, the bad and the ugly. The mixed contradiction of the good and bad makes the brighter aspect of life. I define living as making the best out of one’s self, achieving the desires of one’s heart and above all, making a reasonable difference in the lives of others. The desires here are those that do not infringe on the rights and priviledges of others.
MY motivation It is quite unusual but my greatest motivation in life stems from negative motivators. I am easily affected by events around me. The bad ones hit me hard, but onething about me is that I am very stubborn. Stubborn in the sense that I do not shear easily. It has helped me to turn every unfortunate situation into a fortune. Rather than give up and let go, I ‘d hang on and fight my way out. I do not fight physically though. Love and concern are the greatest gifts of motivation any human can give me. I cherish words and gifts, no matter how little, that convey love and show appreciation. Evey human likes being appreciated, I am no different.
Fear
Fear has been my biggest foe and best friend. My greatest fear is the fear of failure. I am claustrophobic too. But fear has turned out to be my greatest motivation! The fear of failure is always the begining of wisdom to me. It is this fear that pushed me to discover my inner abilities at a time I felt I was loosing all. I have come to understand that to fear is human, but what determines one’s fate in the face of fear is whether they let it consume them or it spurs them into a fight. Dogs bark when they are scared. They do not bark because they feel so secure and comfortable. This is a perfect example of having caurage when afraid. I have reasonably overcome much of my fears now.
Success ; My simple definition of success is ‘ happiness and satisfaction in a good course. Nothing can be more simple and emcompassing to me than that simple definition, as far as the word success is concerned. I do not give in to unreasonable demands, of perceived success, from others.
