Whatever you do, just give it your 100%. Pour your heart into it. That means you do everything you can possibly do and give your best. At the same time don’t take it too close to your heart.. Dil lagao par dil se mat lagao.. If you get this its great, if you don’t then you will learn with time..
Stay Hungry and you won’t be foolish
Ok this idea came from a tweet that a tweep posted. She was surprised that the office cab drivers, on their way back, pick-up random passengers for Rs 10. I said its is a normal routine in gurgaon-delhi roads. And then she said that Indians are smart at making money. I replied that hunger makes you smart. And I swear a hungry man’s brian works better than a well-fed man’s. The hunger increases your business acumen. Ok please don’t go on a hunger-strike to get through any exam, you will probably faint in the examination room. You get the point, and if you don’t well you need to experience hunger..
Don’t look for appreciation
Ok this I think is the most-important one. Never-ever look for appreciation. What you do, might be a earth-shattering breakthrough, but more often than not, you will find people who will look down upon you and demoralize you. Just remember its your dream and nobody else can dream it for you. Dreams to reality is a tough thing but then if you make it through, then people will dream to dream like you.. [Too many dreams

Successful-Failure
If you are one of those who think that failure is fine. You learn a lot from a failure, well you need a reality check. The world never notices a failure. Think about all the famous people, who failed in the beginning. They didnt become famous coz they failed, they became famous because they finally became successful. The world will never respect a failure. But that doesn’t mean that you should not try. You try till you dont succeed.. Coz only then the failures are noticed. Now that what I call a successful-failure. [:)]
People are smart
Well for a long tim i thought that people always show you their true self when you meet them. But the first meeting can be so misleading. People are shrewd and smart. They will come across as really helpful and kind but they all have some ulterior motives underneath. No this doesn’t mean that all are bad (well its not actually bad, kinda smart) but then majority is so take care. This is a dog eat dog world and we just can’t be pussies..
Power of Information
Sometimes its not helpful if you share information. Actually its not wise. You must keep some cards close to your chest so that you can use them later.. In an age where information is the power, you better use it wisely.. but then again I have shared some great information here..
Re-inventing the wheel
Sometimes its important to re-invent the wheel. Yes that is something that I have realized in 23 years of my so-called-life. Sometimes its important to get your hand dirty and do the things right from 0. Yes it may look stupid and in certain aspects it might be. However, I hope you get the point. If you dont, then well you will have to learn it yourself, you will have to re-invent the wheel
Happy Birthday
It was my cousin sis’ birthday, I had it in my mind for over a week and got a calendar reminder. Thought that i’ll call her later and then I forgot.. #lifeslikethat
