The day we saw 'English-Vinglish'

Wow, what a day it has been, especially the evening!!! The three of us had dinner together - Anju, Khyati and I - the first time since Khyati moved in with us way back in June!. But, glad that we spent some classy time together and that too watching English-Vinglish. :) A good movie - something i would recommend, definitely..

I am not  a movie critic and don't intend to make this post a critique either; but i certainly wish to jot some points down here, words of wisdom as always ;) - because I love them really!!

Well, there is one lesson in the movie that really struck me hard. When you chose your better half, it is imperative that you are both of the same level, no disparity exists. For if it does, it will lead to differences, to one person treating the other as a lesser being; which is a fool-proof recipe for things falling apart..relationships getting sour...So avoid disparities at all costs!

It also says that, even when you chose someone of the same standing as yourself, to start with, there may come a stage when one of you fares better than the other and differences creep in as an obvious consequence. If such a situation does arise, it is worthy to continue treating each other with respect and dignity. But the most important lesson that comes here is, the lesser individual has to take it in his own hands. He/she has to resolve the differences, but must do it ON HIS/HER OWN. They should not expect any outside help or support. The responsibility and the onus to catch-up rests with the lesser individual. He/She alone can help her/his situation. You've got to strive to catch up if you happen to be one!!

Thus, the gist of it all is, When it comes to uplifting yourself, only you can do it in the best possible way. The onus is entirely on you, the individual Stand up, get going fight hard and achieve it!!!

Anything, but NOT everything!!!

Yes, this is the very gist of this post. You have the potential, you have the will, i know you have the required perseverance; you can put in long hours and burn the midnight oil to achieve that coveted thing you want to. You are capable - you can and you will do it!!!

The more important thing, though, is not if you can do a thing - anything. In-fact it is, whether you can do everything. And you cannot do everything.

The motto is, YOU CAN DO ANYTHING, BUT NOT EVERYTHING.

Whether you want to do A or B or C or D or any damn thing. Decide on that one thing and then do it with all your heart!!!

You want to go for A-fin- go register and start preparing for L1, make sure you get cal!!! That is it...

You want to go for B-adotwo-be proactive- e.g. in organizing things , take leadership responsibilities, learn new things, strengthen your knowledge, be an SME!! No one can stop you from going there!!!

You want to go for C-hieredu-prepare well, stay positive!!!

But, you need to understand that you cannot be all the 3 and go for each one of the above. You CAN for sure do ANY of the above but remember not all of the above!!!

It is important you learn it early - YOU CAN DO ANYTHING, BUT NOT EVERYTHING!!!

remember this always...

YOU CAN DO ANYTHING, BUT NOT EVERYTHING!!!

All the best.. I know you will rock, i have faith...You will definitely grow into your dreams! So, dream big!

Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson: highlights

1. In order to do a good job of those things that we decide to do, we must eliminate all of the unwanted opportunities.

2. Presentation matters; it really does - We may have the best product, the highest quality, the most useful software etc.; if we present them in a creative professional manner, we will impute the desired quality.

People DO judge a book by it's cover!!!

3. In the annals of innovation, new ideas are just part of the equation. Execution is just as important!
