think!

what's more important? what u think abt urself? or wat othrs think of u? idealists say- the former..but sensible ppl wud say- both!

do we need to compare ourselves with othrs always? its gud in a way dat it boosts ur competitive spirit, but the fact that thr's sumone better than u duznt mean ur not good. u can always try n beat them, but if u dont, u needn't kill urself over it.

Sania duznt stop playing coz there r some 30 odd players better than her in d world. she's gonna keep trying to be numero uno. maybe she won't. but so what??

the reason i've been thinking abt this drivel is dat i've seen a lot of this being happening. some of my friends dont take part in competitions coz they think they won't win." there are better ppl in thr!!". n i've heard ppl saying " o god they're so brilliant, so intelligent..i feel kinda insignificant in their presence!" stupidity if u ask me..

agreed! thr r always super achievers, who have gr88 acads, unbelievable intelligence, and r super popular. maybe u haven't got even 10% of their accomplishments. but that doesn't mean u insult the life u've been living. you've had your moments of succcess, built gr8 relationships, and well had lots of fun!! u have a place of your own in the world and be proud of it..well u can always try to improve urself though!


now thr's one line i so totally believe in..

" The woods would be silent indeed if no bird sang there except the best!

go sing your song now...even if your not a nightingale.

some lines to ponder over...

came across this little poem sumwhr..



"i bargained with life for a penny
and Life would pay no more,
however i begged in the evening
when i counted my scanty store.

for Life is a just employer,
he gives you what you ask,
but once you've set the wages,
you have to bear the task.

i worked for a menial's hire,
only to learn ,dismayed,
that any wage i'd asked of Life,
Life would have willingly paid."


so totally true.... life gives us wat we ask of it ( well most of the times)..but we do have to "bear the task" and put in hard work proportional to the magnitude of our ambition.

glad i realized this at 20 and not at 80!!!
