Things Always Go Wrong

Do you ever wonder about life? What is life? What have you learned from your life? I am going to share a specific thing I have observed about life. Somebody will tell you or you will know it by yourself later on that ‘Things always go wrong‘. Life and this world is not supposed to be always in the right direction or in good form.

You get a job but there is no certainty. You get fired. I myself have been fired from MANY jobs (I have trouble in getting up early and if my Boss is wrong, I always tell him that he is being wrong). But still here I am, I have no regrets, I always got better jobs opportunities after being fired from old one. It never happened that I was without a job. It looked like the new even better job was always waiting for me. I moved on. It looked like it was all at auto-pilot. Have you been happy after getting fired? I was happy when I got fired from my last job. I came back home relieved. I was not happy at that job. My X-Boss helped me getting out of that job. He said quit. I was already ready to quit. I know today that I made a good decision by leaving that job.

Things are not in our hands. These are in our hands but these are not. You have to move on and struggle for next challenge. That was a fair discussion about job. Sometimes, you get more bills then you expect. Sometimes somebody close to you gets sick or dies. Sometimes All the time things do not work as you plan. Yeah! Things never turn up as you plan them. Your near and dear will never act as you expect them to. You help people and yet people won’t say thanks and even won’t admit it. Strangers would sometimes be nice to you instead of your own blood relatives. Blood relatives become cold towards you (They envy you – They will hurt you and will tell you that you have achieved nothing). This is life. If you observe closely, you will see that everything is going to go wrong unless you do something about it.

I am Alright, Atleast Yet!

Life goes on. Good and bad times may come and go. You might struggle very hard to achieve financial stability. You will fall again and again untill you will fall no more and will come a time when you will be settled down with profession you are good at. Things may go wrong again. Things go wrong again and again.

Life has a strange way of teaching us what it is in store for us. We learn by making mistakes, by falling again and again. But we learn and go strong. So this is good. When you accomplish a single little thing, do this.

Life, Money, Relations and Something More Than Wealth

You and me live life. Its beautiful. We do not remember, we have to die. We ignore it and do not discuss it anymore. We want to live. Everybody wants to live – Forever. We are so much used to it. What we all need for a quality life? Did just a word came into your mind? Was it wealth? What can wealth do for you. You can be comfortable. You can buy a fortune for you and your family. You can make yourself and your family happy – at least materialistically. You can buy fancy cars and all sorts of comforts for you in life. Okay! its quality life or luxurious life. But is it life? I had a belief. Many years I believed that. Wealth is the first necessity for us. It is the priority. So work hard, earn more, live happy. Events changed and I realized that there are some other things as well. Which we ignore. We do not recognize their value. Their value is far more higher than wealth or money. If you have all the money in the world, even then there are certain points you will find yourself empty and yet there are such things which you will find more important to gain. More important then wealth or money.

There is Always A Choice

We Have Two Choices always. A friend told me this inspirational story about an optimistic person.

Jerry was the kind of guy you love to hate. He was always in a good mood and always had something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, “If I were any better, I would be twins!” He was a unique manager because he had several waiters who had followed him around from restaurant to restaurant. The reason the waiters followed Jerry was because of his attitude. He was a natural motivator.
