Confidence Belies all the Rules: Chaotic Traffic of India

Fear of Failure Cripples the chances of Success

Nobody likes to listen to word "No". Nobody wants to fail in their endeavour. Its hard to accept rejection for anybody. All these are nothing but failure of somekind in ones attempt to achieve something. Impact of failure varies from being normal to unimaginably huge on ones life. Failing to reach to some place on time may not have any impact at all and many a times nonsensly considered good as in Indian society. But, doctor failing to make it to a patient table can be irrepairable. Doctor's failed attempt in a surgery can kill a life whereas engineers failed attempt to get a machine working can just cost some time and money. Lovers getting a rejection from his beloved may drive him to commit suicide whereas a candidate getting rejection at his first job interview can just prompt to work harder. By all these, I just want to convey different facets of failures. Consequences of a failure make lot of us think before even attempting something. This is called fear of failure. We do not want to try something because we do not want to fail. But we fail to understand the fact that, wishing for somethiing but deciding of not attempting it already registers a 100% failure for us. The only way to increase the chances of success is giving a whole hearted attempt.

Being InSensibly Luxurious

Meaning of the title is broader than this piece of article covers. I am just going to touch one aspect of it. A masala news in a leading NewsPaper was about people paying 10 lakhs to 1 crore to Bollywood actors to just attend their marraige. Paying this hefty sum of money certainly makes a sense if it is for the launch of a product or inaguration of a shop because it buys an instant publicity. But, paying money to publicize one's marriage is an insensible luxury for me. By this, you are not only unnecessarily making them richer but marraige couple also run the unfortunate risk of loosing the centersatge and focus to the so called star. People want to do it because thay want their marriage to get some space in Page 3 at least but the irony is that marriage couple are already overshadowed by the presence of the star. Finally, you paid money to buy a coverage for yourself which indirectly made the star a bit richer and famous. Are not there more sensible ways of making your marriage memorable? You can direclty buy space in Page3 by paying less than this. You can organize a feast for poor children in your locality which makes your marriage more memorable than anything else. You can donate money to a orphanage or some trust. There are limitless more possibilities... use a bit of commonsense before using lot of money...
