I watched Miss Congeniality and had a few laughs.
But besides the laughs, something more profound struck home.
Sandra Bullock’s character is told, ‘ People like those who like themselves’ or something to that effect.
At the end of the film she says, ‘ Well, I don’t like those people.’
And I have to agree with her.
Too many people these days are trying too hard to project themselves as being successful, content, happy.
Deep down they may be squirming with unhappinesss, but to the outside world they must appear impeccable.
So, do I need to stop appearing like a loser for people to like me?
When I attempt something new and fail, many will bitch.
When I attempt something new and succeed, I will receive accolades. But that’s predictable.
It would be refreshing to have support and not solutions when I am down, because there is an idea in my head and it needs time to germinate, take root.
When I am up, genuine good will is truly enough.
I speak for anyone travelling off the beaten track.
Nothing succeeds like success? Ultimately yes, but till that happens, one must fail but not give up.
Ever.
Besides, failure has it’s benefits. It helps you discover true friends.
Merril there’s one quote I distinctly remember outside a Church in Dadar. It said:
“The good you do, very few people remember…
… The bad you do, very few people forget”
And this is something that co relates to what you said about success and making it big or failing.
Actually…it’s not about good or bad…it’s about having faith.
How quickly we lose faith is anything.
mmmm…… are you worried about failure????
Success or failure are relative. Relative to what you benchmark your own performance to. So if you really want to feel good, compare your succes/failure to ‘relatives’ like me. You will feel good. You will feel motivated on those bad days.
If that doesn’t work, have a hobby thats even worse. That way you will be waiting to get back to work. At work you will be avoiding getting back to your hobby. Eventually all your ideas will succeed.
Sandeep, I hereby crown you as the king of bullshit!
Thank you. Johny Lever is my role model.
What the hell happened to your last post??????????
fact is that anyone tends to learn more from failures than from succes. That people who don’t have failures on their accounts lack something in their personality, and that most people won’t love you because you’re a superwoman, but because of your errors which make you human. ( especially men..)
