I don't know from where, but today I would like to talk about what life means to me. Life is all about keep walking. It is an unexpected gift with mysterious loops everywhere.
Why I come to this conclusion is because what I am doing today is a combination of my dream and un-expectations. Very few people know I was passionately trying to be an Air Force pilot some day, but what gave me up is my eye-sight problem. Otherwise, I did work a lot towards that and came quite close. Many people know I played Nationals in rifle shooting — at one point I seriously considered it as a profession, and I could have done it. Business was in the gene pool and I wanted to be a businessman from the start. At the age of 10, I had decided I want to own an IT company, and today if I look behind, it is my dream coming true — but the way it turned out was full of un-expectations.
The one thing I am definitely sure about today is, life is never going to stop. It is not running, neither is it dead-stop. You just have to keep living it everyday. Keep breathing. Keep pushing your limits. Keep going ahead. Keep dreaming. Keep living. Keep laughing. Keep working and keep celebrating. What makes my ideology is that life has always been fair to me. Not rewarding and not risking. But fair enough. So I have nothing to turn back to in case of screw-ups. And that is what I most appreciate. My family has been supportive of my decisions — they let me make my own decisions right from the start, one of the biggest boosters. And I have always faced things like playing a game. The one thing a gamer knows is, there is never a game-over.
It is really important that you take responsibility for your own actions, because unless you do, you will never know what kind of person you are. It is equally important that you give credit to others for theirs — positive as well as negative — because that defines the way you think and analyse things. It doesn't mean you have to be a moral judge of character entitled to label people; it means you learn from it. If there is something good, try to adopt it. If you see someone screwing up, make a mental note whether you want that or not.
And such compilations make what life actually is — what it means and what it helps you achieve. You were born with absolutely nothing in your hands and you will turn to dust someday. The most you can do is leave a footprint behind. And it is damn important you leave some good ones.
