A hot debate with my friends for hours has given rise to this new blog.. Robert Frost has once said, "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. ".. But, I wonder, that at our age, we can only select the roads, and can comment about how important our past actions were, only when we grow older... so, I dedicate my post about selecting the road to begin our journey ...
There are 4 phases of life, starting with the basic needs like, food, shelter,clothes, then comes, another need, money and luxury.. After you have lot of money, you aspire, for fame, and once you have all of these, the last phase is Self- actualisation, where great names like Bill gates, Steve Jobs belong ...
For us, the current phase is to earn money, and lead a luxurious life ... For that, we need to learn a lot, and reach the acme of educational standards, so that we acquire the skills of understanding current problems, and solving them.. But, is that all ?? .. Alas, when people get those standards, they forget that they need to return back to the society from where they have come from.. they are the only one who have broadened their outlook to such a level, that they can help out the people in their surroundings and their nations ... They are the ones who can bring positive reforms and earn respect in everyone's eyes....
Unfortunately, with money comes arrogancy, and self-materialism... People often think about themselves, hardly bother about others ... so, do we want to become like those ? its the time for us to chose that road such that after years and years, we should say, that "I took the road less travelled by, and that has made all the difference " ...
I hope, we should listen to our hearts, and ask ourselves, that do we want to run after money, or do, we want to achieve the highest possible standards, and then, help others in learning that, and earn their respect ?? the choice is yours...the road is to be taken by you.. In this way, our long debate ended over this last question:"what do you think about this question from your perspective, your wits, your viewpoint " ...
