Don't just have career or academic goals. Set goals to give you a balanced,
successful life. I use the word balanced before successful. Balanced means
ensuring your health, relationships, mental peace are all in good order. There
is no point of getting a promotion on the day of your breakup. There is no fun
in driving a car if your back hurts. Shopping is not enjoyable if your mind is
full of tensions. "Life is one of those races in nursery school where you have
to run with a marble in a spoon kept in your mouth. If the marble falls, there
is no point coming first. Same is with life where health and relationships are
the marble. Your striving is only worth it if there is harmony in your life.
Else, you may achieve the success, but this spark, this feeling of being
excited and alive, will start to die. ...................
One thing about nurturing the spark - don't take life seriously. Life is not
meant to be taken seriously, as we are really temporary here. We are like a
pre-paid card with limited validity. If we are lucky, we may last another 50
years. And 50 years is just 2,500 weekends. Do we really need to get so worked
up? ................It's ok, bunk a few classes, scoring low in couple of
papers, goof up a few interviews, take leave from work, fall in love, little
fights with your spouse. We are people, not programmed devices........
