You ain't seen nothin' yet.
Smile, It could be worse.
A few lines of inspiration, if you may say so.
All of a sudden, I went blank. What I'd been wanting to write since yesterday appears lost in the complicated twists in my head. Of course, I'd a topic today morning, but almost the whole of yesterday I managed to control my urge to just write and ending it up shabbily.
There is a link I HAVE to post in this blog. Considering the number of times I've done this (count that zero) it must have really meant something to me.
Here's the link: http://news.stanford.edu/news/2005/june15/jobs-061505.html
When I read this, I thought about the guy who wrote screenplay for 3 Idiots and especially the line 'Kaabil ban, kamyaabi jhak marke peeche aayegi' [Roughly translates into, Never run behind success, make yourself success-worthy first, and then you'll succeed]. Maybe he could have done a lot more in life, maybe he is, maybe the best is yet to come.
I'm sure all of us, sometime or the other in life, would have lamented about a day, an hour, or a week at work, or otherwise that the period has been the worst. What's worse, during that unfortunate phase, we'd get something more, that is worse than what we thought was worse. It takes you to that point of hopelessness that makes you wonder if what you are doing was 'designed' for you at all.
Its totally on the person involved, if he could take it up as a challenge and say, 'Bring it on, mate, you ain't seen nothin' yet.' But really, practically, one can't be so ideal at all times. We are prone to all this, I'd say, we're humans you know, [not considering the fact that my mind is complicated one teeny weeny bit].
Life's simple, I have told myself many times, it is in fact, what one makes it to be. Its worked for me till now, and it will, in future too. But when we are distressed with trivial matters, that surely don't seem trivial to us, I think about that entity because of whom all this is happening. Call it divine, call it time, I don't give a damn. But when there is something happening, someone is making it. There is no magic in that.
How would it look from the outside if it were to be seen? A distressed person, having all the goods in life, worried to death about some trivial matter, nothing life threatening, when there are a number of people striving hard to live, to eat, to lead a normal life. Such is the irony of the world. A person may forgo his lunch so that 2 of his small kids may eat, and one guy may strive hard to buy a Lamborghini. Priorities are so different.
2 of my very good friends helped me edit an idea, that would become a song later on. Its all about life. I learnt a lot from that song. The meaning of the song is so simple, if someone asks me what it is, I can just say 'Its about life' in a single line, just like that.
The bottom line is, as someone coined, It could be worse. Smile. Live for the moment.

To each his own! If you looking for inspiration, look within. No Steve Jobs can inspire you to do a certain thing if your mind is set on not doing it. Coming to 'it could be worse', give me a break. Ppl did say this all day long, but wouldn't buy it themselves. If you think what u have got is bad n that it could have been worse, u will never move away from the bad and chances are that you will incline towards making the worse a reality. On the other hand, not settling for anything less than what u want will get u towards the better. 'It can always be better'
Inspiration should be sought from the inside. Agreed. But inspiration can and in fact, should be sought from people who have done something remarkable. Its not wrong to do so. How long can one single person provide himself inspiration for? Its will power that can carry a person ahead.
