Achieve Your Childhood Dreams

3 years ago, a peer lended this wonderful book and said that I would really love the message it conveys. Read the blurb and then began exploring ‘The Last Lecture’  and by the time I flipped the last, I was all set to read and implement the small little yet powerful ways to bring a happier and positive change in my life as well as those around me. Randy knew that his days were counted but he is a true ‘Achiever’ who lived it up to accomplishing his dream and spreading the message of positive thoughts and credentials for living life to the fullest, come what may. Who said childhood dreams cannot be accomplished. They can, with focus, dedication, belief and by adding fun and joy in our everyday life.

Randy Paush still lives as a motivator for millions. Sharing a few here  :

·  Have specific dreams. 

·  Be good at something.  It makes you valuable.  Have something to bring to the table, because that will make you more welcomed. 

·  When you don’t get what you want, you get experience. 

·  Most of what we learn, we learn indirectly (or by "head fake") 

When we send our child to learn cricket,

what is intended is that they learn the art of teamwork, sportsmanship, perseverance which comes handy all their lives. Cricket is just a medium.

·  Have fun. 

·  It’s not what you say, but how you say it. 

·  Hand the torch to somebody who can carry it forward.  “When you’ve had something for 10 years that you hold so precious, it’s the toughest thing in the world to hand it over, and the only advice I can give you is find somebody better than you to hand it to.”

The Bubble!

The smoke from the vehicles and the deafening honking added much more to the traffic block. Not actually a long one but then the ‘Tempo’ was moving inch by inch. Every jerk did wonders by aggravating  my subsided back pain. How best I kill the thoughts is with some random thought bubbles.One such one

Economics theories and researchers spend days and nights pondering about normalizing the inflation rate in par with the defined set of taxation policies attached with every commodity (Thank God! We haven’t to pay tax for the Air we breathe as of now).

Basically, the rich are getting richer  and the poor need not to bear the brunt of taxation because they are the ‘ under PRIVILEDGED poor’ and the middle class gets to experience each and every pinch of pain. They travel by bus, rickshaw, train for the rest of their lives and make the best of these ‘Public Transports’ but then .sigh! The public transports have become insufficient to carry the weight of the tormenting population in every metro. Petrol rates have added a pricy cherry to all offerings. All that remains same is the image of aam insaan, jo aaj bhi sarkari waahano mein dhaakke khaake jeeta hai!  So the vicious circle of money and distribution holds ineffective here.
