Rat Race or My Own Race

Hey all.....this is my first blog so excuse me if i am not that good....have started this blog to express my views and ideas on a lot of things which i care about....I am going to share my experiences, views and ideas and would expect your ideas, views and feedback....You dont need to agree or disagree but please do let me know whatever you feel about it....So with a prayer in my heart and dreams in my eyes here i go.....

Rat Race or My Own Race
Everyone in life aspires to do something or wants to live a dream....Few people have the guts and strength to go all the way to achieve it....What my experience says "People have ideas, views and dreams to aspire for but what stops them from achieving them is the rat mentality within all of us...everyone wants to be a rat and be ahead of the rest of the people...Very few people have the mental wherewithal to break away from the tried and tested and pursue their dreams....When we are born we all want to be "Doctors, Engineers, Pilots, Teachers"...We feel we want to be these people either cuz our mom and dad told us to be them or cuz we interact with them daily and aspire to be them....When we ask a kid why she wants to be a doctor she says she wants to be a doctor cuz she wants to help the poor but as and when you grow up you this dream grows for a toss for a variety of reasons....Studies, money, family pressure....Wat goes out of the window is the social part of our dream.....

As and when we start working we want to grow fast in the organization we work for...have the best house...have the best cars.....have the best of everythin material in life....do we ever stop 2 think of people around us.... we are always taught that people are poor cuz they want to be poor... be rich and everythin will fall in place....Health will be good if your rich....Work hard and party harder but be selfish....We all want to be the hare in the race but does anybody think who wins in the long run....is not the tortoise????

If you ask me what the most cherised and enriching moments in my life were i would say the time i spent with the kids of a ngo on a field trip or the happiness i get when i donate some money to a charity.....

So the only thing i would like to say is "Stop think before its too late and you be a rat in the rat race"

As the say "In a rat race....whether you or win or lose at the end of it what you are is a BIG RAT"

Would substantiate my views with some examples the next time on....

Thanks and do let me know what ya think....
