High?? Low?? Up?? Down?? Heard these?? Lets talk.

"Life is not a competition" Easy to say huh??
I guess it's just a philosophy to keep you satisfied. You don't have enough, you don't have as much as your friend, Just say to yourself "Life is not a competition". It's like the all is well thing from 3 idiots.
But no one is happy with less than what he thinks he deserves, at least I won't be.
You know work hard, have patience, you'll get what you deserve..all this might be true. But when you don't have it, it doesn't feel right.

Actually leaving everything out. I feel, the pressure from the surroundings is responsible for all this competition.

Hypothetical situation:

Take 2 guys, one from IIT Delhi and other one from SRM Chennai. Both get a same job of 6.5 lacs in same company but there is a hell lot of difference in their attitude after the selection. The SRM guy is extremely happy, on the top of the world and the IIT guy just sad...plain sad.
Reason??
This was the best company that visited SRM Chennai and amongst the very lower rated companies that visited IIT.
Now both are equally valued but the surroundings were different.
SRM guy thinking: Yes man!! I did it. Best job in the campus. I'm the dude. Family happy, girlfriend happy. Life's great
IIT guy thinking: Lite yaar!! I couldn't even make a 10 lac job when my friends are making 60 lacs job. What happened?? 4 years ago we all(IITians) started at the same place. Then why am I so behind?? Family saying: "I read in the newspaper, IITians got job offers of up to 60 lacs...Why so less for you??"
And finally he says to himself "Life is a competition, and I'm losing"

Now who am I to say what's wrong and what's right. Probably it was his bad luck and he will get better as time progresses. Maybe he will get better than that 60 lac guy some day (with a 0.0000001% probability or even less obviously). But for now, it's not easy. Not at all.

So, for me: "LIFE IS A COMPETITION AND YOU HAVE TO RUN HARD ALL THE TIME. JUST HAVE PATIENCE AND HOPE" 
Nothing can make you happier but being at the top.
And I hope if seen positively, this will be your success story.

P.S :  I'm sorry if I haven't been able to convey my point clearly. Not a good writer you know :)

Illegal ?? Decisions?? Right?? Wrong?? Let's talk about it

Ever did something you're not proud of?? Something that you believe if you hadn't done it, life would have been easier??
No I'm not talking about emotional/personal/relationship/principles stuff...
I'm talking about illegal stuff...
Now and then everyone in his life of about 20 years has done some illegal stuff....Cheating is one of them if you think you haven't :P
Good people say you should not do any illegal stuff but I say
"DO ILLEGAL STUFF ONLY IF YOU'RE READY TO FACE ITS CONSEQUENCES"
Cheat only if you're ready to accept a -5 on your answer script.
Drive over 60 km/hour only if you are ready to pay 500 bucks to police officer.
Park your car in NO PARKING only if you have registry and driver's license.
Steal only if you're ready to stay in jail for one night at least.

Actually If you'll not do illegal stuff just imagine what would the police do?? So much unemployment :P

What I'm saying is just one of way of looking at it. Don't take the inspiration please.
Also if you're smart enough to fool the authorities, you should fool them I guess :P

Also I would like to mention here that life isn't fair to everyone. Sometimes you get accused of false charges and some rarer times are proven to be guilty also. But I guess whatever life does to you, it does only enough for you to handle it. And makes you a better person given you handle it the right way.
Actually One good thing it does is not let you have BLIND faith in GOD as most of Indians do or for that matter Hindus do.
But Whatever GOD does, he always give you an option(s) which people really, I guess, don't see. An option for a better path.
So If you feel GOD isn't fair to you, believe me there's a better life waiting for you. You just have to make the decision. And THE RIGHT ONE.

And Yes, Faith is always the option. Faith for a better tomorrow. 
Have faith In YOURSELF that you'll do good today and will learn from your mistakes, improve and have a better tomorrow.
Because it's you who is gonna lead your life, the one who is going to give it directions, the one, as GOD SwamiNarayan said, who has to carve it out of the rock with your mind and body.
GOD will not take care of you, you'll have to do that for yourself, he will just support.

THANK YOU.

P.S. Am I a preacher or something ??? :P :P
