A Small Speech By Chetan Bhagat
Kamal Hasan
Speech by Chetan
Bhagat at Symbiosis...
Don't
just have career or academic goals. Set goals to give you a balanced,
successful life. I use the word balanced before successful. Balanced means
ensuring your health, relationships, mental peace are all in good order.
There is no point of getting a promotion on the day of your breakup. There is
no fun in driving a car if your back hurts. Shopping is not enjoyable if your
mind is full of tensions.
"Life is one of those races in nursery school where you have to run with a
marble in a spoon kept in your mouth. If the marble falls, there is no point
coming first. Same is with life where health and relationships are the marble.
Your striving is only worth it if there is harmony in your life. Else, you may
achieve the success, but this spark, this feeling of being excited and alive,
will start to die.
One thing about nurturing the spark - don't take life seriously. Life is not
meant to be taken seriously, as we are really temporary here. We are like a
pre-paid card with limited validity. If we are lucky, we may last another 50
years. And 50
years is just 2,500 weekends. Do we really need to get so worked up?
It's ok, bunk a few classes, scoring low in couple of papers, goof up a few
interviews, take leave from work, Enjoy with your friends, fall in love, little
fights with your loved Ones. We are people, not programmed devices.
"Don't be serious, be sincere."!
Thanks and Regards
