Wrapping up another phase, bracing for the next

Well, now I am on the verge of wrapping up this phase of my life. This phase started with the world and life showing it's true and harsh face to me. Out from my adolescence, these realities were a great jolt to me in the beginning. Later they replaced themselves as my teachers and today I have a much better knowledge of life and it's ways than I had 10-12 years ago.

I have learnt many lessons. However harsh it may sound, there are only certain relationships in life that are genuine. I have also learnt that one should dream to the fullest, no harm in that, but one should not get carried away by them. One should act towards them taking all the limitations of one's surroundings into consideration. If one is hardworking, he or she never fails. My work taught me that, hardworking necessarily does not mean slogging, it means smart work and work that is effective to achieve it's desired goal. Also, you may be right on certain issues, but there is no point in getting worked up to make others believe in it, if their belief or disbelief doesn't matter to you much. Argue definitely, but there is no need to go overboard after a certain point. One should exercise "controlled aggressiveness".

Out of the many mistakes I have made, one of the biggest seems to be my premonition that love (as in two young individuals) and subsequent relationship is doomed to be bad. Rather it is a challenge that should be accepted as a part of life. One needs to be ready to alter drastically one's lifestyle till now, and also be ready to make more "un-selfish" sacrifices. 2nd April this year onwards, my views definitely took turn in the right direction, and it is for this new phase of my life that I now prepare myself to fight and enjoy!!

Praying to god and expecting blessings from all my well wishers in making it a success!!
