Benchmark

There are certain things which doesn’t have any scale to measure it. Yet we make our own scale and tag a person with that.

We live in a world full of mature yet immature people. There’s no ratio in mature vs immature people. Both have the same number as the population of the world. Maturity is one of them, it doesn’t have any scale to measure how mature a person is. It depends on the topic and the opposite person. When there is a topic in which a person has suffered he/she will guide you or on the contrary he/she might show the level of maturity which the other person expect at the moment of time and it could be also because that person might have some benefits, he will say something which the opposite person wants to listen. Based on what we want to listen we tag them with a maturity mark. In reality it is us who wanted to listen it from someone. When the same issue troubles that person he might behave more naive than you have.

Similarly there’s no scale to measure the smartness level of a person. There’s a measurement for IQ but not for smartness. Just because a person has observed or adapted something into his/her daily life, one can do it with much ease whereas one person might get confused at first just because he/she has no idea about that. If one person is smart and the other is not. The latter will find the other person weird just because he has no clue. There are certain example of great scientist where they have invented or discovered great things but failed in doing certain usual activities.

In a summary, we all are equal and no one is master in anything by birth, everyone has made mistakes and learned from it. Just because you reach that level after them you might feel that they are great, but once upon a time they were also a noob or more stupid than you, you never know. One might feel the other person is mature or smart enough than him/her but the very same person might be a noob for someone.

Never underestimate yourself and don’t ever think you are downgraded. It’s just that you have never been through the same situation. What you are capable of, he/she might not be capable in achieving or doing that. There’s certain level of maturity or smartness in all of us we just need embrace it. Never set a bench mark for yourself or for anyone else. Just try to improve yourself and reach where your heart is.

We are lost in the lost world

We are lost in the lost world,
Yet we are losing ourselves in it’s hurl,
We have reached out to the moon,
Forgot that natural resources are a boon,
We scaled the terrains on the mars,
Yet unable to stop the raging wars,
We know so much about the universe,
Hardly know how our ocean is diverse,
We focused on creating nuclear power,
Neglecting the trees that brings the showers,
Planning to habitate the mars leaving this magnificent pearl,
We are so lost in the lost world.

Look forward to grow, not to give up…

The real reason behind the success of British empire taking over the control of India was that India was not unified in that era. For a name sake it has boundaries, but every state was different and the reason lies there. They succeeded without using any kind of force just by making Indian Kings fight within themselves. Apparently, their strategy was succeeded and they swiftly took control of the state of the weaker king and by doing so they became powerful then took the actual reign of India. If all the Kings would have been united under the same hood and rebel against the British empire, they stood no chance, but that’s a hypothetical scenario. Now India is a strong country and no one even dares to think to invade but it took time to reach to current scenario.

The reason I mentioned that fact here is to justify the point that weaker should work towards getting stronger and not lose hope till they attain a place or position from where there actions can make an impact. As the world bows to the strongest. Why doesn’t powerful people get caught into any criminal cases? And why does no one do justice (majority of the time) to the poor people even though they are innocent? Yeah, you got my point. It’s the survival of the toughest.

Similarly, we see that a handful of companies running most of the businesses in the world. They are buying out small companies and getting bigger. Okay, I understand that they are powerful but I don’t understand that the new entrepreneur who has given so much effort to get there which one can dream of and then selling it to a big company. If he has given his all then he should give a fight atleast. Making some amount of money should not be the ultimate goal. They should understand that if a giant company is buying them out for a higher stake, that means they worth much more. Being an entrepreneur does not mean creating something and then giving it away for some money or to become an employee in the same company you created. Being an entrepreneur means you are independent for life. They should not work under someone else. To give a strong fight to the bigger company is very tough and I know it is easier to say then done but you never know when the dice turns the game around and you become giant. It will take time but it is not impossible.

Just have faith in yourself, no matter what your goal is. Just keep moving forward and never give up.

The Change…

It is been so long I haven’t written any blogs but here I am.

Everyone makes a lot of mistakes in their lives and learns from it. But as quoted by Niels Bohr “An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made, in a narrow field”. We are here to learn and create something significant which will positively contribute to the world. We should not take mistakes too seriously as life is too short to wake up with regrets. You might have observed that kids are smarter than us nowadays, they are using smartphones at the age of 2 years. Because they do not know the meaning of the word “mistake”. They know exactly which app to open to play a game and how to use other apps. On the contrary, taking an example of an aged person who can read and write, even after you teach them they avoid performing the same task just because they are scared of making mistakes. Old people do not tend to forget things just because of their age but also because they are afraid of change or one can say afraid of making mistakes. When one tries to prevent themselves from not doing something, their mind automatically deletes the data of that particular task and also their mind does not register it when you are teaching them to perform a particular task.

However, we are no different. There is something similar to people except children and aged persons. What we keep hearing from childhood becomes our beliefs. As they say, “when a lie is told enough times, it becomes the truth”. Let’s not call it a lie but belief. People keep following the things and performing rituals just because they are told enough times or has seen people doing believing that if all are doing means something will be there but in reality, it is not the case. People who are successful are not successful by believing what the world believes blindly. They are successful because they have challenged their beliefs and always asked questions. People do 9-5 routine job because they are afraid of trying or losing. They also do that job because they are told to get a secure job and have a happy life, but no one is actually happy doing that job. The people who are really happy are the ones who are having their own venture. This was one example, you can take any example and ask the question “Why?” and try to get into the foundation of that belief.

If people just do this, this will transform their entire life and they will start to see the world with a different and positive perspective.
