Burn your Boat

11/07/2010

Hello all of you,long time too update my blog this time.For all of you who knows or might be not better to inform, i am in delhi from a month. And missing indore,family,friends and a special one so much.

Awake up early in the morning studies day long,take a class and sleep early in the night thats what my routine,however enjoying alot. Many a time i feel to left this and return home because of the loneliness and boredome around but than feel i have to fight somehow and not for anyone but me and my dream.

Here i am quoting some lines by john Goe:

"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, and then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now."

- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

The lines written above have magical meaning.Once you understand it you are no far from achieving your goal.The meaning of above lines is blen into a single pharese by greeks "Burn your Boats."

The Greek phrase"Burn your Boat".

This get birth at the time of war when Greek army go to island(i miss the name) and burn there boats so that they will never thought of returning back without completing there task.If you are full of fear and demotivate just "Burn your boat" and become fully commited towards your goal.

To say its easy but to act always difficult.Just to commit for one goal without thinking of other options seems impractical in todays scenrio where lots of opportunity is waiting for you.But you have to remember,one cannot travel in two boats simultaneuosly you have to chose one option,and here your decision making ability challange you. And after taking one boat(career option) you should not think of any backup plan.

Many time failure occurs not beacuse you are not capable or deserving or you are not self motivated but because of lack of commitment towards your goal.

There is a story i remember at this point of time of school where a teacher ask one student to go out and bring the most beautiful flower from the garden.But you cantnot return back to same flower again Student went out wandering around and return back without any flower.Teacher ask him a reason of not bringing any flower,he explaus sir when i saw the first flower i found it most beautiful and i want to take it but then i think that may be there are more flowers beautiful than this one ahead so i left it and for flower i think the same and when i saw last flower i found the flower i saw the first was the most beautiful so i didn't bring any flower.

The same is with opportunities you found the first opportunity but we though the next one may be the best.Don't look here and there chose one which your heart says is the best for you.Remeber here i said your heart says the best not one which you get first.And after choosing it,commit for it whole heartadely and "Burn Your Boat".

I hope i share something useful with you.
See you soon.
