Wisdom Tip #1( For Success in life & Self Character building) - "One half of the world laughs at the other and the other at the former"

Everything is good or bad, noble or sin according to who you ask. What is one's passion, is hated by somebody else. What one pursues someone else persecutes. The person who becomes the most succesful and remains the happiest, is the one, who learns to regulate his ideas, and follows his heart. The person who pursues his passion to the fullest always takes the throne of success.

Disappointment should be miles away, even if an idea is rejected by a few, for you can be sure about the presence of those few others who will love your idea, and appreciate it. Someone's rejection should not put us down, neither should someone's praise push us on the ninth cloud, for we should know there are others who'll condemn. We should always learn never to be moved by a few opinions.

The challenge that should drive us, should be to win the appreciations of the experts in the field we are pursuing our ideas in. It is their opinion which should help us mentor ourselves. Anyone else is just going to increase your track record of either "acceptors" (A) or "rejectors" (R).

So remember friends if 50 tell you - "you are good" and the other 50 tell you - "you are bad". Know yourself! Dont fall for either of them. Take your passion to the highest limits and all will fall under your umbrella of success.

Final Thumbrule :
"Not all will be satisfied with you, on your journey to success. Someone somewhere will definitely be dissatisfied with you (could be your best frnd, parents or siblings also)".
"Once you reach pinnacles, everybody will be satisfied with you".

So have patience and don get disheartened by temporary disappointments of others.

" Follow your heart..!!! " jargon of the day. But i wonder if the heart has the right stuff inside to follow..!!!

Follow your heart - A very misleading jargon! I happened to meet a kid close to 8 years younger to me. We just happened to strike a conversation about how his academics were moving. He seemed to have already lost interest in it. He seems to have got interested things more important to him in his life - "his passions". He seems to have been interested in becoming a software engineer and loved coding stuff for drivers and so on. I ask him why not any other field and how much does he know about rest to conclude this as his passion. The reply is straight forward that he had 70% of knowledge about it and hence he made a decision. I wonder who was the 100% source for his comparision.

Most of the youth today is getting programmed by the media and other similar sources which glamourise follow your heart. But seldom do they add a disclaimer (which also would not have effect) that follow your heart after your heart is capable of judging what is right and what is wrong or atleast is capable of proving that its feeling right. A kid in his adolescence watches a movie, sees the movie picturising the HERO as a person who just followed his heart and was the center of attraction and starts imagining that he is capable of the same.

My only advice, of course being a person who is die hard believer in follow your heart, is that be open to filling in yourself with lot of experience and be enthusiastic about gathering enough information about various subjects and fields and topics before coming to a conclusion about your passions. For your present passions are based on wat you have seen so far, and chances are very less, the sources that you have had access so far, give you the real picture. A large part of youth of our country end up reserved or with closed minds to many things/opportunities because they start following their heart too early and hence a complete ignoring of opinions of others starts happening. (sometimes harmless, but really harmful when the other person is actually a wise individual with some really wise opinions).

Hence understand this jargon "FOLLOW YOUR HEART" with a greater depth. Keep your mind open to data and then decision making is easier. Ultimately follow your heart. But, Let heart get enough assistance from the mind in terms of data also. I hope this was helpful.
