BUT, there IS always one thing that each one of us is too good at. someone who accepts status-quo and remains mediocre by choice (by blaming the "system" etc.) ... what do we say of such a person ? it is slightly offensive to say - normal human beings = mediocre. no ? gifted everyone is. but to find it ? yeah there lies the catch. people who don't know what they are "passionate" about - they can at least embark on a "passionate" search for where lies their gift .. no ? then i would say they are wasting the very gift they were given in the first place - life.<br /><br />well, wanted to give this gyan to someone for a long time. now the world gets it thru your blog :PSVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497827583861404706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29479602.post-56826559564648111662010-01-12T13:13:35.721+05:302010-01-12T13:13:35.721+05:30hey u know what..i too am as lazy as you claim to ...hey u know what..i too am as lazy as you claim to be..and a victim of the system like everyone else..but I feel that there are certain things in life for which we become more passionate than we ever anticipated..for you, that thing may be writing..u will never know unless you think of a goal and give it a try..<br />Saying all this, coz through your words, I can feel what writing means to you :)N!Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03473874961896181345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29479602.post-61155998209697137512010-01-11T22:01:54.797+05:302010-01-11T22:01:54.797+05:30@ Vaga Bond

I am at a point in my life, where, every night I go to sleep having known, I have done nothing, not even a bit to fulfill my dream today, a dream I have cherished since I was 10, I don't get sleep. I am scared of the day I am 50 and I am still just dreaming. <br />But well, thinking about it is a good start, I tell myself. You are right, the system is our victim, the system needs to get rid of people like us.Vaga Bondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17475774794439578705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29479602.post-13431972324628325882010-01-11T19:27:54.822+05:302010-01-11T19:27:54.822+05:30trying a become a chetan bhagat? ohno!

We learn to survive it and beat it, but in the process become mediocre and off color. It is true that after a point we accept the system as something "less evil", start believing in "degrees", "college brands" etc. You know what, sometimes I think if possessing these degrees/college brands are the things that "allow" you to do better things in other spheres of life more "easily". (like writing in your case)<br /><br />Imagine no (good) degree, no (good) college brand ....... will your writing have been as "good", though there is no seeming logical connection ? "Better" ? I would be interested to know if you have some answers to these questions.SVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497827583861404706noreply@blogger.com
