And they think I am Crazy!

Just because a person wants to do what he feels, people (mostly) consider him (or her) weird. Why does one has to live according to others? And then it is said that people have freedom of living. Well, the reality is we are living in a society, irrespective of class segmentation, where we can still not “DO” what we want to. We are dependent upon our parents, spouses, kids, friends and professional colleagues and so on. 

The problem lies in other peoples’ mind not in one’s own. If a person wants to wear orange shirt irrespective of his age or hierarchical level he is considered as cheap. We do not associate people with their brains and capabilities but their dresses and visual smartness. On the contrary when we talk about using fonts for chatting, most of us go for vibrant colors and funky styles. Similarly all the marketing campaigns are carried out in unusual ways just to let that campaign differentiate from others.
Similarly if a person wants to look different from the “lot” then why does he have to face a lot of criticism and opposition from others? He usually becomes the center of the jest and tease from others. This does not tell how crazy he is but this depicts how crazy people are in either letting others feel shame or not letting anyone stand out. If a person is comfortable in his or her ways, why do others have to point it out as an alienating thing?

Similarly if a person loves to stay casual about things why do people have to force him to become serious psycho? Everyone has the right to live his life as per his own way and comfort then why do we try to influence others. There are numerous ways with which people influence other individuals. I personally believe that most of the individuals who are either insecure or frustrated within tend to advise others for being “so different” from the bunch. As they don’t have the balls to embrace that daring move hence they want to stop others too.

To me, it is a crazy thing to do. I mean we don’t stop people or friends from doing injustice to others. We also don’t stop any corruption, for which we have the power to stop. We even don’t stop our good friends (whom we respect) to date numerous girls and boys and fool them but we enjoy to stop them to live their lives in a way that they feel comfortable in.

Strange but true!

Hard Work and Smart Work! A Contrast




Since our childhood we are listening one single quote and advise from our elders – no matter what a mess they had created with their lives! even by knowing these statements....

  1. Hard work will reward you!
  2. Keep working Hard

It sounds simple to many but in reality it takes a lot of balls to walk on such a path where there is no chance of missing a single shot. As far as I think, these statements are over - exaggerated most of the times. I meant why do we forget that its not the hardness but the smartness, which counts at the end of the day. You must have observed in your lives at countless points and phases of life that after spending hours and hours of studying for a test or spending continuous nights in the offices to prepare a presentation for the board – the desired result was not achieved! Isn’t it? On the contrary those who studied hardly for few hours and even watched movies and listened to songs of their favorite singers scored better than you (or close to you), they enjoyed that time as well as scored good. Similarly those who attended the office from 9 – 5 and spend little time on the project to complete the presentation were much more impressive then you!

What exactly you lacked? After all you did your best “HARD WORK” which was possible from your side! Even then you could not make the mark! Feels really bad isn’t it?

Let me try to answer what was lacking. It was CSQ – not the (Quebec Selection Certificate) but the Concentration, Smartness and Quality.

We emphasize a lot on Effort! But in reality it is one of the least significant factors in producing success. Those statements mentioned above as 1 and 2 give birth to inefficient efforts! People work hard all their lives and do not attain what they wish and for what they have been working throughout their lives only because of the inefficient efforts which they apply.

Its better to use your mind at times! Let it work on short-cuts! Trust me it is mostly (mind it! not only) smartness which saves a warrior’s life when he is surrounded by the opponents, all hard work will make him breath heavily real soon!

So what you prefer to be

Hard?

Or

Smart?

Be blessed and smiling!
