Food For Thought
Okay lately I have been trying to make sense of the degree I am pursuing. For one I wasted an entire day listening to meaningless TED Talks which kept on reinforcing the belief that it’s not enough that you are good at something you need to be great at that particular thing.
The same talks went on to explain that it’s also not enough that you are interested in X number of things because you can be interested in X number of girls but there’s only one you are going to be passionate about. And you figure out that that’s all that really matters.
PASSION.
And as I stand in front of a whiteboard listing down twenty things then crossing out nineteen of them one after the other I still can’t prioritize and I try to figure out what am I doing with my life?
All the business courses that I am taking in college what are they going to be worth in say ten years time. I don’t want to be like the guys who were in the railroads business and when the automobile came they kept saying “But dude that’s an automobile we are a giant fucking corporation that connects far off places” And boy did they have it wrong. Because it wasn’t a question of railroads and automobiles they were part of the same ecosystem they were in the travel business and eventually that screwed their happiness.
So I decided today that I am going to be as open minded as I can be about everything that comes my way. From football startups to virtual currencies to big data to hedge funds to pure quizzing. I am not going to question the validity of ideas and instead try and explore them and figure if any of it is worth it.
And as I am trying to do away with my deviant art account I will start posting random stuff including artwork whether it fits in here or not.
So here’s food for thought for me and for whoever is reading this damn thing because in all honesty I wouldn’t have the patience to read the entire thing.
Years down the line
What will you remember my immortal mind?
Will it be the travels you never undertook
Or the great hands that you never shook
Will it be the time you never wasted
Or the food you never tasted
Will it be the love you let go
Or the feelings you never let show
Will it be the people you wished you had met
Or the record that you could have set
Will it be the millions that you didn’t earn
Or the cars for which your heart yearned
Will it be the journey of life you didn’t take
Or those sad truths which you couldn’t fake
Will it be the destiny that you cursed
Or this life’s debt in which you immersed
You my mortal mind
Are as dead as a living soul
With no hope, no life, no goal
I ask you my mortal mind
Years down the line
What will you remember when you rewind?
