The chosen path

First of all we must have a clear idea of our chosen field that is capable of bringing soul satisfaction to us, only when there is no clear idea of what we want, doubt and fear arises in our mind. There is a wonderful conversation in the story of Lewis Carol’s “Alice in Wonderland”. Alice asking the Cheshire Cat when she was lost. Alice: “Which way I should go..?” The Cheshire Cat: Where u want to go..? Alice: “I don’t’ much care where. Cheshire Cat: “Then it doesn’t’ much matter which way you go..!”. The confidence and we have in pursuing our own way is the first step of success. There are many real life stories where men/women would pursue after their heart felt desires in spite of all the hurdles, one such was about a women who had a lot of disappointments and oppositions while she ventured to start a Beauty Saloon, but she managed to emerge successful in her career and now it is one of the top most Beauty Saloon in India. COMPARISONS ARE ILLOGICAL Individuality is something which we have to give first preference while grooming a child, every child is identical of its own nature, a fish would be a best swimmer, and a monkey can climb a tree in a flash of a movement, but these are all typical of those species, to assess the quality of a fish by making it to climb a tree or by asking a monkey to swim will be illogical and results in the destruction of their identity. Striplings of vegetable will sprout in few days, and we have to protect it cautiously till it yields vegetables, on the other hand seed of a banyan tree to yield benefits would take years and the process of taking it care is totally different, the problem is with identifying whether it is a plant stripling or a banyan seed. We need a deeper understanding and introspection in our life to understand our inborn capabilities and qualities, our rational mind shall not be allowed to get stumbled with limits and restrictions, as Tagore would say that a conditioned mind is like a fish that spends half of its life in water tank if it is taken out and thrown into a larger water body it would restrict itself in the same four corners as it did in the water tank.
