Long before Robin Sharma wrote his book " The monk who sold his Ferrari ", I had already sold my Ferrari in 2004 when I left my "high-flying"& "pressure-cooker" job with an MNC as Financial Controller.
"During the day blog" does not only mean the "day" but "life as a whole".
During the day, I meet and interview a lot of people, receive & reply to hundreds of mail, use different gadgets, learn new technologies, spend a huge amount of time on internet, think a lot about the future ( sometimes do get tensed and worried) and worry about our race as human beings.
I do admit that I committed a lot of mistakes and learnt new things in my life. But never gave up and adapted myself to constantly changing circumstances around me. I learnt to change myself on an ongoing basis. I learnt that it is a continuous process. I can very well see the future. I will keep writing on my mistakes ( so that the next generation does not repeat), new gadgets, new technologies which I have seen or tested, new way of doing the same old things etc., I generally get bored if I have repeat the same task over and over. Therefore, every time, I think of doing it in a different way or keep experimenting different things. That's how we all learn more and more things.
Let me share some thoughts on mistakes we human beings commit. We all commit mistakes but by the time we realise it is too late. Most people don't even accept their own mistakes.
My guru said that whatever mistakes we do, become our experience.
He told me " Commit 1000 mistakes, but do not repeat the same mistake again" .
Robin Sharma in one of his blogs also says " A mistake is not a mistake until it is repeated again".
We all go thru' the learning curve and condition our brain. Despite that we still repeat the same mistakes. That's why we are human beings and not robots. There are some basic things we have to accept -No human being is perfect. But we can surely try to achieve a level of perfection. The level of perfection is again relative. So, we can try the same thing again and again, do it better and better like the Einstein's experiments. Life is full of mistakes. Never mind. Take it easy. Take one task at a time and accomplish. Learn, unlearn and relearn that's what Alwyn Toffler says in his book the "Future Shock"
If you like my views, ideas or you wish to share your thoughts on my blog, I would be more than happy to receive it and post it on my blogs.
