who decides

So I am back after a long time.actually could not get a good thought to share with you all.actually I was a bit lost in the MATRIX which the people call as  the World.some may doubt  what is that ?
so I would first explain that over the past few months I am searching for a job. How hectic it could turn out to be was something unimaginable when it started.But nonetheless.This blog is  out of the course I mentioned in the Index( but it was all the more necessary ).and the reason is "THE PURPOSE".I mean many a times we are struct on a thing .How to do a particular job,how to decide what is correct ,how to tackle a given situation ,so on and so forth.I  mean sorry for getting personal but when I hear my friends doing a job in some company and still cribbing about the TORTURE they face,it reminds me about my friend who told how to Focus.
he also did his MBA from the same institute.
So I am narrating his story here and hope the discussions which I have done with him would prove helpful to all those who read this blog.
A simple and quiet man by MBA standard he was full of thoughts and ideas which he usually kept to himself.
It happened that I met him after a long time (even after studying in same institute)and I asked how he remains so calm and focussed.He then told his story and reason.
He told about his first job, the problems he faced and what he has decided for his future.
I would just give a glimpse of that over here.
The job he did was a project related job (can be read as "NO FIXED TIMINGS").many of you would still question this -I mean  there is no concept of many companies in India.true it may be but in project work it nearly equals as 24 -48 hours of work (even my friend has done a continuous shift of 48 hours).
work is always hectic and boring when you start it but becomes interesting once you try to master your work by enjoying the work.When I enquired about how he focusses himself he told me his story. When he was working  he had a dream ,a dream which was not only big but also needed a Herculean effort to cherish.
And one day he quit his job to relish his dreams.He wanted to study further so that he can acquire more knowledge and expertise.and he also told me how he collected the funds even after having a small income barely enough for survival.And one of the main contributor for the fund was Dinner.Dinner i was shicked to hear that but then he added a word "SKIPPING" to clarify the doubts .He literally skipped his dinner for 6 months so as to collect enough funds to support his coaching.
and this way he managed his fund for the coaching.But then he was not selected to a very good B school. and he told that this was also a major reason for his calm nature.but he also thanked GOD for the same, because the strength of this new institute was much more than other institutes and hence he was able to make more friends.
and the last thing i asked him was whether he was able to reach his goal and he replied in a negative.I asked the reason for this.He remained quiet for few minutes  and then told that he will tell about this later.
At last he concluded the talk by summarising his observations.
He said :
1. To always have a dream, the bigger the dream the better are its chances of its realisation.
3. Never ever Think of negatives - the downs and negatives of life are nothing but just perceptions and situations change over a period of time.
5.Eat to Live not vice versa-at times this helps a lot.
2. If struck in some problem, try to find the ethical and general solution to it.
4. Always prioritize your priorities and number them in correct order.(although in the long run it becomes immaterial)
would continue this blog further ...
Bye for now.
