Living foolish is better than living confused. It is better to live like a fool than to get confused by the knowledge (only half) of so many things. But we can’t help.
Life teaches you so many things you were better off not knowing!
If you read the science and health news in newspapers, one day you will find research results saying that Caffeine is harmful to you and it will increase your chances of heart disease and another day at the same place you will find another research report saying that it will help prevent cancer. So better dont read about it unless there is a message on the coffee cup - Drinking coffee is injurious to health!You can see similar news about Non-vegetarian food and a lot of other things.
Coming to my case, I used to have discussions with my friends on what gives happiness and very proudly used to tell things like ‘it’s all in your mind’, ‘if you want to be happy you can be happy with anything’ etc. I really believed in that then. At the same time I used to support Capitalism (which doesnt support contentment :)) arguing against Communism saying that it promotes mediocrity. I believed in that too (I just finished reading ‘The fountainhead’ then). On careful observation you can find that both are almost contradicting each other. If you are content with what you have without a passion to succeed, will you survive in this world of MONEY? So it is very common for any thinking person to get confused, discontent and most of the times frustrated in this world of contradictions.
Now I think I know the solution for this riddle (may be customized but some solution rite). You may be confused about the path to choose in life but there are certain basic principles and values that are instilled in us from childhood that will guide us in choosing it and pursuing it. So go find the path (as if that’s so easy :)). Don’t worry about the worthiness of the pursuit and the path. If you enjoy the pursuit you will never regret the choice. Just believe in it!
I believe that the luckiest people in the world are those who realize their passion and who get the opportunity to live it. Some people prefer to use ‘purpose’ in place of passion. People with passion, who had chosen their principles and stood by them strongly, were the people who made history. Not very long ago I was lucky enough to realize my passion (you may think I am fooling myself) after contemplating and getting diverted by so many things like looking at the lives of actors, cricket players etc who are being marketed as the role models. And now I have to look for the opportunities to prove myself in it and enjoy life my own way.

there are many many circumstances , different levels of intellectual , different levels of support and many other features. So, I support being yourself and not following anyone . I understood you are passionate about strategy and business??? I didn't get you . what is your passion?
You were always worried that you didn't realize your passion , did you find it ?
Anyway good move ... write more blogs .
Took words out of my mouth.... Nice one ra...
You said you want to create opportunities for yourself.. What are these opportunities?? need more insight into it...
And i am happy that you were lucky enough to realize your passion...
I am in the process of finding one... will let u know once something comes up...
Keep writing brother....
I would like to use all the strategies that keep popping up in my mind and materialize them to build a successful business - that is my passion ra..
opportunities are yet to be created ra.. but I want to start working towards that.. to get more knowledge about the way business is done (may be MBA will help get that), look for the right time and start something..or else if there is any profile in a company that suits my requirements - business analysis, development and strategy - use it..
