Liar .... liar

Well, Jim Carey certainly was at his comic best in there. But looking at the underlying foundation of the whole storyline, seems that he was addicted to lying. He begins lying when he faces the ultimate challenge - coming up in life.... Let me clarify something here. I am no movie critic and am not writing a movie review.. here..!

Whatever be the reasons, lying seems to be little unfair proposition in the whole scheme of a social network enterprise. If everyone lies, as they do most times, the basic underlying trust people live by is lost... Like, I do not know when my wife would cheat on me, or would cut my throat when i am sleeping... We are yet to stop living because of this menace.

Not that I have never lied... it rather comes quite naturally to me..! But, as a principle, I have never lied for my own benefit, in the sense that I have lied to cover up for my friends or colleagues etc etc... I have never lied to protect myself, since it is my firm belief that I have done what I felt was right and it was never necessary to cover it up despite public opinion - friends, teachers, relatives or parents.

Sound like a revolution...? Attitude..? ... nah... it is a revelation. Try it some time, you might face some fireworks initially but they will iron out like they always do and you would have a much clearer conscience..!

Enough for now, c ya later guyz..!

Moods and Swings… What am I made of…?

Been a long long time since I have written anything… The adrenalin just doesn’t seem to flow…Now that I am back… its time to get to work again… I have been thinking… What makes me tick…!

After careful analysis and rueful internal conflicts over a period of the last few days, I am yet to pinpoint the “tick”…

Money… nah..!

I spend as it comes and never did save a dime.

I always had money problems… didn’t have enough when it mattered…

But really, that never did matter to me… until it suffices in the role of a tool that enables me to do what I want at my whims and fancies…

Success… Partly..

Success being a relative issue with many individual perceptions, success has never driven me far. Yes, being successful as per an average human being’s perception is important… That I am … thought wise, work wise and any wise… but not money wise J

Probably because many of my relatives and friends have branded me a failure in the past has something to do with this… It is my objective to showcase how wrong they were and how mis-perceptive they have been…

Ambition… Yes… That’s it..!

I am an archer and ambitions that I have for myself go very far.. Although my arrows will not travel as far as nuclear warheads… my ambition is to make them surpass the distance.. but not faster.. Slow and steady wins the race…!

Despite all heroics during my teen years, my parents have always encouraged me to commit my own set of mistakes, although the world still criticizes them for it. They have been a very strong driving force behind my partial success and I attribute everything that I have today to their perceptions, encouragement, motivation and the never-say-die attitude they have inculcated in me..

The result is that despite all my failures, I never quit…

Other factors

Mainly my little kids who look up to me for all their intellectual and physical needs. They are absolute motivation personified for me. I need to set an example for them, as in being a human being first and a successful human being next.

Then is my wife, who has been through all the thick and thin until now… how much more is another ill-quantified question though.. I know she will be around, only if she could cut down on the nagging bit and be a little more supportive… She is more a friend than a wife and I thank myself for it ( I made a wise choice) (a little selfish… egotistic… well I have earned it I guess)…! She needs to shed the negativity and be more positive and she has to come through the customary perceptions and be more open to new concepts and objects in life…

My life is almost complete as I perceive, but there are new horizons to conquer.. My wife needs to come up and encourage me… I am losing my motivation now… What more to live for...?

Well, what’s above is only the current perception, and it changes almost every second… new ideas, new motivations, new objectives….

Whoa… what a car… Rolls…. I want that..?

C ya ltr guys, need to follow that and get one for myself…

Well …. Well, this will appeal to most men of today, not because of inherent personal traits but because of what the world has come to…

“What is a cynic? A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.”Oscar Wilde – who else..!

Blame it on values, blame it on upbringing, blame it on education or blame it on Rio, the sole ideology of being a cynic has its roots in the negative influences that we go through most of our lives.

Believe it or not, despite making all efforts to be positive and optimistic whatever the gurus teach us, the negative influence always takes the cake due to its roots being in the subconscious, all across our lives.

Weed it out..! How? The million dollar question… Cynicism comes from shallow thought process combined with the negative influences in our lives. Instead of weeding it out, we need to outgrow it.

Success begets success, money makes more money and so cynicism breeds more negativity. The vicious cycle needs to be broken through a latent thought process.

No wonder we feel refreshed after a holiday…! On a holiday we may miss work, but we do not miss the environment that we are used to. The subconscious at work, we are refreshed because we get a short reprieve from the negative environment.. nothing else.

Don’t believe, think and let me know if I am wrong…

See you are already growing up…! Don’t get me wrong, I am also a cynic somewhere..

Men and Hypocrisy

Have you heard a drunkard blaming the last drink that did him in?

OR better still

Have you heard a man complain about the impediment his woman creates in his professional path to success?

Well, the drunkard never knew what hit him when he had his last drink, in fact the situation he finds himself in is his own making and fails to realize that drink by drink have cumulatively done him in, not just the last one….!

Success, is thus a combination of many failures and the lessons learnt from them.. Only if, only if men could learn…!

And, coming to the man’s blame game on woman..! How in the world, would a woman impede in his profession, if she does not know what he does. How does she come to know, on the conjugal bed? or in a drunken stupor?

Whatever the sources, men should be responsible for their own actions rather than blaming their woman for their purported failures.

Hypocrisy has become a habit and that too an inherent one, where most people today do not realize that they are practicing it. They do it just because everyone else does it.. blame it on others..! Even here.! Believe me, there is no better source for unhappiness.

Simplicity in thought and action could get one far, far away from hypocrisy, far away from following what has been done by other and of course, far away from the convoluted thought processes that some would like to think their domain. The ideal man is the one who does not follow others but follows his own and then sets the right course for many others.
