Alrite.Am gonna sound a bit patronizing but since this is an 'outburst' post, I dont care. People tell us that we need to have goals, ambitions and aspirations. Look at what you want to be, say 5 years from now or 10 years from now. Then model your way of thinking to attain that goal. They go to the extent of telling that a goal-less man/woman is bound to fail in life. He/She will definitely go wayward. And when i be honest and tell them that I really dont have any such ambition till now, they go ahead and tell me that i need to be responsible and take stock of my life.
Isn't this bullshit fed into our minds from day 1, from the day we learnt to understand what a human mouth could convey. All I wanna ask you people is, do you know what's going to happen tomorrow ? or the day after ? No, you dont. Then do you know what's gonna happen to YOU tomorrow, or the day after ? Do you even bloody realise that death is the only truth in life ! And you people are conveniently avoiding to face it day in and day out, building dreams and what not. You may not exist for long. You may become impotent or go blind or win a whore-house in a lottery or die due to constipation. Anything's possible. Then how is it that you can be so sure of being an investment banker or a CEO of a company in 10 years from now? Ok, if you arent so sure of that, you atleast seem pretty sure that you will be living until then. What gives you that confidence? And what audacity you have to come tell me or anyone else that if I dont have a long term goal, I will suffer in life, struggle in life !
Life's one big journey people. You never know when it'll end. All you know is that you've got the chance to live this moment and so go ahead and live it, embrace it, enjoy it. In this way, when life does end, you dont look back at it and say that I was running all along the journey and never had time to stop at the pitstops and look at the world around. Dont compromise on the present for the future, coz you never know if you do have one. And if you really dont have an ambition as of now and people are forcing you to get one, show them the midde finger and move on. Or better yet, laugh at their ignorance.

I too disagree when one says "think big!! think better" and all tht stuff...written on our block here in DAKC. my motto is "think small, think happy!!" :D
though an outburst post, its splendid. keep them coming..(er...not the outbursts, but the posts :P)
My dear bai... if u remember correctly, club 8, 1 year back, I pretty much voiced the same opinions in a vodka-induced haze... and yes I have been laughing at the ignorance of my fellow 99%ilers for the past 1 year ;)
bhai there's been a change in ur thoughts
i think i see that
maybe im wrong but keep'em coming
there may be no benefit to u from our side or otherwise but all we are trying to do is pass the time...
yeahhh! rite... people give suggestions on how to make our life successful, if they are so knowledgeable, their life should be wat they envisage for others...if they are know-it-all, they shud make their life better...
@satish
think small, think happy is the way to go.
@charan
I do remember :)
@sam
passing the time we are
@ginny
if only ppl cud realise what u hav said...sigh...stupid world
hmm.. I dunno. How about taking the average life expectancy of about 60+ years?
If you ARE going to die tomorrow nothing is going to change even if you plan or you dont. But just think of the situation when you just might live those 60+ years, perfectly healthy, regretting those decisions that you've took in the heat of the moment?
How can it be perfect sense to all you people!?
