Life is simple, live it!!

Recently I had the chance to attend a group discussion (GD) as a part of the admission process to a B School. The result of the process is a wholly different story which will be intimated to everyone known to me sooner or later. The point in contention is the intresting topic of the GD. (Was there one???!!! Never mind). The facilitator of the GD was a old professor in psychology. Old, professor and psychology. Three things which can summarise the way my GD would have gone. Topic was not in one sentence. It was the most abstract one can give.

The topic was ..........

"What is winning all about? What will one do to win. Does winning matter in life. In which scenario can one apply winning to. Does winning alone give you happiness??..................."

Given the time line of 2 mins to think, the abstractness of the topic, the competition, the tension to perform and the old professor conducting the GD in a way a kindergarten class is taken, I had a tough time. Nevertheless the GD was over and so were my dreams of joining the institute. Now what remains is the most wonderful thing that came out of Pandora's Box, HOPE. One other thing is the thought of WINNING. Ok now don't think that I am all charged up like Rajnikanth to prove the world that I am good. I am an ordinary man. All I can do is pour out my feelings in a blog!!!

I don't understand why man made life so complicated in the first place. Why should you apply science in places where it need not be applied. Once such place is living life. Introducing psychology into an ordinary man's life and influencing him to live life differently is doing no justice to him. Have you ever thought of winning and has it ever influenced your life. Please if you have never done that you are on the right track, never do that. If you have a problem then you can use science to cure it. If you never have one please, live life and dont obfuscate things. Why do you ever think of winning or losing or the science behind it. My opinion is to do your work and let nature take its course. If you feel happy, you win. If you don't you still win, simply because you will strive to be happy and will still achieve something. Life is this simple, why do we need to unnecessarily conduct a post mortem of it.

We don't know when we will meet Mr. Death. And as far as you know practically, we have only one life. So make your life simple. Live it!!!!
