never force a mind!
never never never force a mind. A mind forced against it's will is of the same opinion still
Only dead fish flow with the flow!
I have had a queer life, have I not?
I was tempted this morning to take an account of my life. It's not that I always went against. There were so many times when I did go with it, when I played dead and I have had to pay for those mistakes!
Times when I went against the flow:
The beginning of a rebellious life: getting my long hair cut at 16! It did not make sense to me and was perhaps the most scariest thing I did in my life. Looking back, sounds just right.
I could not take science: getting rid of non-medical at 17- the only student out of 5 sections to move to commerce!
So, finished school with no idea of what to do with life.
Bcom (with the flow). I should have studied advertising or mass communication
Chartered Accountancy (with the flow)
Getting rid of Chartered Accountancy and deciding that I was not cut out for it (Against the flow)
Beginning of CAT preparation (not my decision, with the flow!)
Eventually finishing graduation again with no idea of life!
Diploma in Tourism ( Against the flow. It was a conscious decision).
Taking up jobs (RDM, Vertex, Interglobe)- I will say with the flow. That was not my passion. My passion has always been advertising since I discovered MICA! But I did not attempt then to get into advertising! why? I don't know. I was just comfortable I guess. What a waste! Learning, perhaps. Why so slow?
Eventually getting into S P Jain after 5 years of CAT preparation. (Against the flow)
I have no idea why I forgot during the campus stay that advertising was what I really really wanted to do. It would have been easier with the help of campus office! But I lost track or I was supposed to?!!?!
Now I am 29, got laid off and realized once again that advertising was what I wanted to get into! Why so late?! I may get an opportunity to restart my life, will I take it, won't I? The price is immense, it almost means starting my working life afresh!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I do, my belief about compromises will change forever. From never compromise on what you want to compromise what is less important (and you want it) to get what is supreme!
hey, looks like destiny is out to teach me something!
