Social connections on FB, followers on Twitter, Connections on LinkedIn....
Academic scores at School, HSC, Graduation, CAT, GMAT and on we go....
Dates, relationships and @#$%
And then it's work, your salary, ctc, our performance ranking. Or have you hit the half crore mark at 35 ?
And finally the day, when 2 become one…. Is it going to be in your 20s, 30s or when you are ready and comfortable ?
NUMBERS, do or don’t they play a huge role in our lives ?
So here's goes, from the time we get conscious about our surroundings we are pushed to constantly compete and meet societal norms. Whether it’s how long you take to walk, talk or swim. To how many friends you have and what are your college scores. Are you ranking in the Top 10. To finally what age do you tie the knot and have kids. And topping the charts at the corporate front or where ever else.
It all happens so quickly. And before we know it, we are chasing another NUMBER.
Think it helps to Pause. Retrospect and Breathe. And understand what really makes you happy.
We have only ONE life to live. So LIVE it well and fill it with moments that make you smile. Job, timelines and work are essential ingredients of our existence, but it’s important to balance things. So, Spare some time and invest in YOU. Breathe and seize the moment when they come your way…….
Are you clinging onto a number??

So very true this is...it's time we woke up from our slumber (about numbers)....
ReplyDeleteQuite True.... Life has become so mechanical.... One ends up running like an engine and forgets the purpose....
ReplyDeleteSomebody has truly said... don't take life so seriously... enjoy every moment you live.
I feel success can be measured not by how much salary you get or what heights you achieved in your career but by how much you lived your life, which is the only one you while have rest are all material aspects.
