Owing to my screwed up head and conscious attempt to do
things a bit differently I have been called an attention seeker, arrogant,
cocky, proud and what not. In this blog I will make a feeble attempt to explain
what I do and why it should not be interpreted as any of the above. Gandhiji
once very famously said that be the change you want to see in the world. Of
course my interpretation of it was not the way he intended it but then I have
managed to make it serve my purpose to a great extent. I just dare that one bit
more to solve my problems, act a bit more crazy, take that risk which is generally
not regarded sane by the society.
How many of you believe in miracles? Let’s not move ahead of
us; miracles will probably be overdoing it but let’s say how many of you
actually believe that luck will average out. From my personal experience I can
tell you something - Luck never averages out. If you are having a run of bad
luck you need to grab the situation by the throat and mould it. Similarly, if
luck is going your way don’t get too cocky and don’t sit and relax, rather try
pushing yourself to the limit to try and make most of it.
I was reading a book by Donald Trump where he speaks about
how he had been affected by recession. He says in the book that his business
had taken the beating after recession and he was once passing a beggar and
realized that the beggar was richer than him by 9 billions. Woh!! 9 billions is
some money right!! The easiest thing he could have done is laid down, waited
for the recession to over, the government to pump in some money and then voila
the business runs again!! But that’s not what he did. Rather than waiting for
the Hero (Economic Condition Getting Better) to come rescue him, he stood up
and made himself count. He worked out deals with bankers and other things which
I could not really understand but at the end of the day he saved himself rather
than waiting for the hero. What would have happened if he had waited for the
Hero, no one knows but guessing from his current situation I don’t think his
decision went too badly.
Anyway I have bored all of you enough with another
mindnumbingly stupid blog but here’s one last pointer before I end. If you
really think that bad luck is a passing phase and you can just wait it out, be
my guest, but by my reckoning is if you do nothing about it, this phase will
never pass.
