Policy for things that don't go well

Firstly, don't crib (for any reason under the sun)... do something about it or else shut up.. cant tolerate cribbing anymore...

If you can do something about our country's (India in my case) sad state of public affairs/corruption, do it.. its a great thing...
Else, shut up.. No arm chair critics please... no cribbing please.

They said it

Recently I came across a person who is probably about 23yrs old, an MBA student pursuing his higher studies in a local university of the city. Probably the most interesting thing in talking to him was the fact that he had such a myopic view on success, satisfaction, peace and love. I was really disappointed in knowing that a person who belonged to my generation had no hopes and aspirations to explore new opportunities w.r.t his career atleast among other interests (which included betting on horses and the new format cricket game-T20) and instead wants to just sit around and make money because he already thinks he knows it all. He strongly believes that he is extremely smart and intelligent compared to all his friends around him and that there is nothing else left for him to know, 'its just the time' which according to him, will make him the 'big man'.

There is another person I have known for about 6-7 years now. This guy is far older than the first person i just spoke about. Talk to him for about 15 mins and you will end up feeling miserable somewhere deep inside for not knowing anything. He will probably talk to Sachin Tendulkar about cricket and make him feel that his batting techniques are 'not really great' or make music composers such as Illayaraja or Hans Zimmer feel 'like crap' for not knowing the nuances of music composition and other fundamental definitions that a professional in that line ought to know. He will make the chief engineer at a infrastructure project dig his own grave for not knowing how a pillar has to be perfectly erected. According to him all professional fields after the 1990 such as the IT and ITes are not really career lines worthy to pursue and those who do are full of S#$t. According to him HR is a department purely created by the American management consultants to make their pockets run deeper. No company really needs or wants the H.R department, its just their misfortune that they have to keep up to the latest management trends to be on top.
He knows it all. Science (may it be any field or discipline), English (literature, poetry, prose), he fluently speaks 4 indian languages and claims he can understand many others. He knows english and claims he can understand many other foreign languages. He knows commerce, art, politics and any other thing that a man ought to know. I used to call him (my friend) the walking encyclopedia until he started overdoing the bit of 'I know it all'.
I still enjoy his company but now my tolerance levels are falling and its quite insulting to always be treated as the 'kid who needs to learn a lot' being patted on the back with a smile thinking he would be the one i should be learning from.

Learning is something i am open to 24/7 from anyone. And under no circumstances i feel that the day would come wherin i have learnt it all. If that were the case, that day would be my last day here on this planet as I would be literally dead. I really wonder how people (including my friend i mentioned) would go through life with such heavy intellectual ego. I dread the day i am stuck on an inland with such a person.

Its not what about what 'you know', what 'you said'. its what you have heard and what you have learnt.

This quote I think is so motivating and its meaning so profound that it has made a very big difference to my life and the way I look at health and fitness from the time I read it for the first time.

I guess this was the motivation i was badly seeking for a long while.
