To grow up is to struggle

What would've been a life without "war" or struggle(effort) ; or lets imagine a life without effort..Imagine a life where we always  "sleep,eat and watch movies"...This reminds me of my 3 rd year room-mate (Samar [Arun Mohit])..he he  :D just joking..The whole "progress" of life depends on the amount of effort we put and strategies we adopt to live or  fight in  "war".. In-fact life is a "war-field" where the happenings around us are the ones happening during pre- to post- period of  "war"..At the delivery time, the baby in mother's womb must fight (or struggle) hard to come out and the mother must feel the pain.And if mother doesn't feel any pain then it means that the baby is dead.To fill our hungry stomach we've to take an effort to take the food by hand and eat.For an athlete, he has to take an effort to practice for the game,where the game with many opponents is like a war.He has to struggle hard to stand for a long time.Another good example is the group of  freedom fighters who gave their lives for the freedom struggle and it is because of their efforts, we able to enjoy the land of autonomy.Martin Luther king Jr., who struggled hard for the development of African-American Civil Rights movement.To aim for a good living future is to be ready to face bitter hardships at present.Many people think that war is malign.Of course it is malign but it has to be undergone,unless it doesn't give a moral sense out of it.Take the countries like Japan,Germany,etc,,.After the First world war,Germany had been deteriorated to a maximum extent and this made Germany one the superpowers during the Second world war.The atomic bomb explosion at Hiroshima and Nagasaki made Japan one of the best developed countries in the world (if I'm not wrong). If two persons are fighting with each other and if the stronger person wins the fight and criticises his opponent in an ugly way,then this would definitely burn the anger in the victim.Then victim will either wage a war again immediately or after gaining up some experience through hard work. 


"It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan"
                                                                                                                                             --Chris Bane
  The Dark Knight Rises 
A good amount of effort is necessary but not sufficient for us to win the war.More important is the strategy we adopt.In the pre war time,we must be able to asses the worst possible cases that we have to bear and bring out an effective "backup" plan.We have a draw a "map" and plan ourselves.Say when we planning for a business trip or a vacation abroad, first we have to keep in mind "where we are going" ; what kind of place it is (safety wise) and if not a safe one then what are the "backups" we need?? ; the amount of expenses we need to take before we go (where we take a maximum amount and we see to that less money is spent over there)....All these plans are taken into consideration just to avoid any emergency situations..If Lord Ram hadn't directed Hanuman to go to Lanka,then it would be very difficult for them plan and win the war.



And last but not the least, experience before war :

"Experience is the only good teacher"..
                                                               --Swami Vivekananda

To struggle, to take an effort,to fight, to move forward and last but not the least to endure.......Are like being in a war....
Winning a war in a positive sense will give happiness..Losing a war in positive sense will give learning.....
Winning a war in negative sense will give a raise in ego..And losing a war in negative sense will create an anger filled with evil deeds..  

Thank you and have a nice day...

the learning paradigm

learn and learn and learn...what to learn ,where to learn and how to learn...??the answer for this depends on the individual...now let me concentrate on one essential point of "how to learn"....before that i will tell you a small incident in my life,how to swim....of course i didnt learn how to swim completely, but i learnt one small concept that is floating my body on the swimming pool and holding my breath on deep water....the way which i learnt  is different...i cannot explain u all those things rite now ... i implemented the "way" which i felt "comfortable" or which i viewed as the interesting and an easy one to learn...the thing i just want to explain is my view while learning..my friends explained different ways to swim and out of that i chose "one"...the "one" which i felt is different ,interesting and easy...this was my view on the "one"......every person's success and failures on a particular goal depends on how he /she views the goal..

Now i will tell u a kind of view when i experienced a failure..say at the time of preparations of my iit jee examinations..at that time my view towards learning was overwhelmingly a superior view....this view enlightened an ego inside me...at the time preparation instead of assesing my level and working on it ,i was in feeling that i got a seat in iit with a top rank and enjoying with friends and parties etc,  ..i was fallen into cloud nine...holes started building up and i didnt realize these.... finally at the time of result i got the topmost rank ,that is, rank no.0......i just say that our views express our attitude..and here i refer learning as a general thing..

every body in their life has a long term goal few people are successful and few are not..the reason behind failure is the improper assesment of their goals..they dont realize what their goals are...a long term goal is realized by assesing our success in short term goals..its actually "where we stand","how we stand"and "for what purpose we stand",these three are the major governing questions which decides our goal..so all of u work hard and be successful in your life..."keep smiling"..... :)
