Okay enough of stories, lets deal with some
philosophical stuff now!!!
I know I am not an expert in this, still I thought
of just giving a try.
We, the human beings make the society, but it’s not
the society which adjusts, rather it’s us who have to.
You must have seen, there are people with similar
attributes, but one of them succeeds and the other fails to.
This is basically not because determination or
motivation, as normally people conclude.
Let’s take a small example. Ram and Laxman are two
people with similar attributes. You may find that when both compete for
something, Ram succeeds all the time, resulting Laxman to emerge as a failure.
Conclusions may be derived as such:
1) Ram
is much more intelligent than Laxman.
2) Ram
is determined to achieve success.
Is it so?? Think it yourself!!!
Ram and Laxman, both are human beings. So, both have
got the same brain (it’s already mentioned before that they have same
attributes), so the question of Ram being more intelligent doesn’t even arise.
Secondly, as per human nature, nobody wants to be a
failure. So, if Ram succeeds, it can’t be derived that Laxman was low on
motivation or determination (because both were having similar attributes)
So where do you think the problem lies????
It’s all about ‘Good Fit’ and ‘Bad Fit’.
Whatever we do…we follow a way of approach, and that
is what defines a person, the way we approach things. The way we talk, is
derived from the way we approach people. The way we eat is derived from the way
we approach food. The way we walk is derived from the way we approach the road.
Yes, every person has a different way of approach,
because perceptions matter from person to person.
So, if your way of approach is with the run of the
society, you are termed as a ‘Good Fit’, i.e the society accepts you and you
are successful.
And, if your way of approach doesn’t go with the
society, you are termed as a ‘Bad Fit’,i.e the society doesn’t accepts you and
you emerge as a failure.
Heard about Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla??
Well, Nikola Tesla invented AC electricity
(Alternating Current), which used induction to produce electricity. Nikola
Tesla introduced wireless electricity in the 19th century, when
Thomas Edison’s DC electricity (Direct Current) was termed as a big invention.
Tesla said that with the help of AC electricity even things which don’t produce
electricity could be electrocuted.
The society in the 19th Century though,
was not ready to accept it, and Tesla didn’t get the fame he deserved, i.e he
emerged as a ‘Bad Fit’
Today, Nokia’s wireless electricity charger, one of
the biggest innovations in the world of cell phones is based on Nikola Tesla’s
AC Electricity model.
So, what it proves is that, Tesla was someone with
qualities. But his concept was not in run with the society, and he emerged as a
‘Bad Fit’
If he would have been born today, he might have
become a ‘Good Fit’ for the society.
Similarly people who wrote the Vedas might have
become a ‘Bad Fit’ if they wrote it in the 21st century.
So how to be a ‘Good Fit’??
Simple. Be a Go-getter. Go-getter is someone who
learns something or the other from everyone, copies them, modifies those
qualities in his own way, adapts to the society and grabs success.
To be a ‘Good Fit’ to the society, you have to learn
the society first. And one can only learn the society when he adjusts to it.
Yes, it’s not important what we want, what’s more
important is what the society wants from us.
If we can give those things which the society
expects and not what we are capable of giving, then we don’t have to follow
success, success will follow us itself.
