A Writing About Life 2..

“Ten years from now, make sure you say that this is the life I’ve wanted to live. Not the life I’ve wanted to settle for.” 

What age are we now? Eighteen. Yes, that’s right. We graduate from high school and now we step into college. 

The next three to five years of all our lives are going to be so crucial, aren’t they? We got to take up the course which is going to take us to that life which we want to live. I know, we need to live in the moment. But maybe, just maybe sometimes we need to think about the tomorrow and decide what we want to do. 

Life, as I have always told is funny. You never know what tomorrow has in store for you. But what is wrong in being prepared for it? 

Every decision we make has its consequences. Consequences that we got to face. These consequences can be bad or they can be good. Now in this case, the consequence of making the wrong decision could be you ending up saying a couple of years later that, I settled for this life and if you make the right decision, you would end up saying this is the life I wanted. 

To conclude, I would say to all of you who are going to go down those paths that your parents want you to do, please be a rebel. Argue with them. Tell them why you want to do what you what to do. Explain to them. I’ve done it. It isn’t all that tough. 

All the best to all of you who will be going to college in a couple of days/months. May these decisions be the ones that you wanted. 

Just something my friend told me..

“Just when I thought life was all happy, I realised I’m human. Humans don’t get happy lives. Our happiness is short lived. We are put up with new challenges everyday. We need to overcome them in order to earn the next short moment of happiness.”

The other day a friend of mine asked me, “Bro are we doing science cause we want to or are we doing science cause we want to have a living?” This got me thinking. I told him I’d choose the second option.
Well, we people are in a world where all that matters now is how we’re going to earn a living. In the process of earning a living we’ve forgotten the things we want to do. Doing things we want to is doing things we love. And things we love would give us happiness, wouldn’t they? They system in India is as such that we as children after 10th grade rarely do what we want to. We’re either doing what our parents want us to or what is going to give us a better living, cause what we love wouldn’t give us a good living.
I sometimes want to go back to the time my 10th grade results came out. I want to go back and take commerce. I’m going to just pull along with science some how now and a couple of years later I’m going to just be like, I wish I did that back then. It’s not like I don’t want to do science, what I want to do later on in life requires science. But, now I regret taking science.
All I’m going to say a few years down the line is I wish I took the right decision back then.
Anyway, I’ve been put up with a new challenge now. So I guess I’m going to do my best to complete it.
