Yesterday I met Shri Swaroop chand Marsons ji. I asked him about three learnings of life.
He beautifully summarized them as following:
1:Create your own avenues. You don't need to follow other people.
2:Never give up. When Ur mind and heart both gives up then ask yourself where is my purusharth?
3:Don't take people for granted. Listen to everyone and do as you think is right. Stand with your conviction
Few words about him: He is eminent social worker, Jain businessman, kind hearted philanthropist and self made person. He is role model of my Father. So i have grown up listening about his stories and great deeds.
It was nice interacting with him.
One more thing I realised in the process of making some activity as habit or matter of daily routine, "The desire of doing best should not become enemy of doing good". It means I dnt have to be perfectionist. If some day I dnt feel like exercising for 1 hour or running 3 rounds then doesn't mean I should give up. Just reduce the intensity but do it on a consistent basis.
Consistency is bigger motivation than quality. Even the tortoise and hare story tell us d same thing... OMG unknowingly i applied that wisdom in my routine. Now i realise it. Phewww.. wunderbar
neway good night..

Veritable pearls of wisdom from your Dad's role model...:)
ReplyDeleteHmm... It's true that perfection is often the enemy of good and induces procrastination... Good that you have been consistent subconsciously... I am yet to apply it consciously or subconsciously...:(
