The recognition....

"The only way to make people respect you and your things get done is when you have achieved something too great for the people to achieve or you have that invincible stack of knowledge with you.....
So Strive hard for knowledge as knowledge is power!!!!"
---Srivatsava

This is wat i have written long back somewhere deep inside a book...... n i really wonder wat made me to do so...
"Recognition" is the key word why people struggle all day in and day out without realising that they are wasting the precious time of thier life......


There is a story for this which i have read long back.... so here it goes.....

once upon a time .... (as usual the same phrase ;)) there was a school teacher who has arranged a get together of alumni students in his residence. He wanted to test how many of his students have changed!!! so he decided to test them...
He served tea to the students in beautifully designed porcelain cups , elegant glassware , graceful bronze cups , normal steel glasses , plastic cups and the mud ones.....
Then he was surprosed to see all of them take the beautiful porcelain , bronze and glass cups and almost all neglected the plastic and mud ones....
After seeing the state of his students he said "My dear fellows ,
i have observed that all of you have changed a lot !!! (imagine the plight of his students now!!!)
I have served all of you in different cups but nobody seems to be interested in normal cups though the tea in all of them is the same!!!! All of you seem to be enjoyig the grandeur of the cups in which tea is served rather than the tea itself!!!
Life's like this my dear students....people don't enjoy life but seem to derive enjoyment from the earthly pleasures and the way thier life is led!!! infact they pretend to njoy life that way without actually realising wat enjoyment is!!"


The other day when i have visited LS,HC,IMAX,eatstreet.. etc.. with my frenz i was really wondering wat has got into the people's mind!!! all of them were trying to show off thier extravagance!!! costly n skin hugging dresses, latest design dressware , just released cellphones and ofcourse the latest sensation The ipod...
Though people don't really need all this to live a life!!!! they ive more importance to these things and forget that "they are indeed not enjoying but just showing off!!! and the real enjoyment needs no extravagance"
The real enjoyment comes only when you can feel it!!! only when your passions are met and even drinnking a cup of coffee on a road side stall with a nice friend and enjoying the weather can be more enjoyable than taking your sweetheart to the most happening disco , wearing the latest fashionware and feeling uncomfortable there!!!

So wake up my friends and live every moment of your life to the fullest rather than worrying all the time about making it "seemingly better"!! :)
