Speech by Chetan Bhagat in Symbiosis Institute of Management:-
Life is one of those races in nursery school where you have to run with a
marble in a spoon kept in your mouth. If the marble falls, there is no
point coming first. Same with life, where health and relationships are the
marbles. Your striving is only worth it if there is harmony in your life.
Else, you may achieve the success, but this spark, this feeling of being
excited and alive, will start to die.
One thing about nurturing the spark - don't take life seriously. Life is
not to be taken seriously, as we are really temporary here. We are like a
pre-paid card with limited validity. If we are lucky, we may last another
50 years. And 50 years is just 2,500 weekends. Do we really need to get so
worked up?
It's ok, bunk a few classes, goof up a few interviews, take leave from
work, fall in love. We are people, not programmed devices. :)
"Don't be serious, be sincere."!!!
