Live is about living.
Not proving.
Just like the word 'impasse'
and 'impossible', word 'IMprove' may have yet another meaning which could be '
not prove'. Although it may not fit with the logic of previous two words, it is
just a gesture meaning something that can't be proven. It is not because we
can't prove it but because we don't try to.
We are surrounded by information
and opinions much more than ever before. In such times, it has become
challenging to figure out what we should do. Human is moving away from
principles towards popularity. These days, it is expected that you must be
famous before you actually succeed. Funnily enough, you can be famous without
actually doing anything worthwhile. I recently noticed few faces in an Indian
Express tabloid of March-18 who were among the top 100 influential figures of
India and I have doubts about their actual contributions towards betterment of
the nation. Once you become popular, people will be at your doorstep to use
your fame for their agendas. You can choose this path of Nautanki (drama), which is
actually very easy.
There is one more way to
live. Here, you choose to live by principles. On this path, instead of Nautanki (drama), you choose class and higher standards. You choose here to improve and
not IMprove. Believe me, only very determined survive on this quest. This is
the path of people with strong will and resolute character. Here, you have to
choose the song of your choice instead of listening to the one which is famous just
because of its cheap words or video.
Once you figure out the
purpose of your life, forget what rest of the world thinks and start your
journey. Beware of the attractions of easiness. You have learned the way of
discipline with lot of practice and patience. It's not worth losing for the
thinking of the masses. It's true that economy prevails instead of ideology but
this is why it is more important that you continue being the pillar of
ideology. There are very few of your kind. This world survives because of you
few. Whole humanity overlives because of you few, even when you don't know it.
Even when they don't know it. And it is not necessary to prove it as well. You
didn't start your journey to prove yourself. That was never the purpose. It was
always much higher than yourself. You have grown much above than just thinking
about yourself. Your time is much valuable. So just keep improving and keep reminding yourself that your
action towards your purpose is the purest and ultimate satisfaction. No recognition or fame
can surpass that.
Believe in your purpose
and keep moving on.
Keep sharing.
Keep giving.
PS:
It is said that Prof.
Chandrasekhar had to wait nearly 50 years before receiving the Nobel Prize for
his discovery of 'Chandrasekhar Limit', a discovery made while he was a
graduate student at Cambridge in 1930s. If his work had been recognized then,
it could have led to the discovery of the Blank Hole decades earlier.
