Life has been a chaotic drama lately, with numerous self-realizations
and self-discoveries. I have turned more rigid and endured against harshness.
Yes! The heat was rising drastically and it burnt me like hell, but I need to stand in the
kitchen. As Harry S Truman said, ‘If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the
kitchen’. Escaping is never a solution, it takes courage to face it and make
your way through it.
I have started to read a lot. Earlier, I used to hang around
with friends or used to tread down alone on the roads of Durgapur, composing
short stories and poetry. But now, I read a lot in my room, and this has been
the time when most of the self-realizations and self-discoveries have started
to come up. How much goodness does the reading habit brings for you, I got to
learn. I read two books by Dale Carnegie within past two weeks; ‘How to speak
Effectively’ and ‘How to stop worrying and start living’, while ‘How to win
friends and people’ I am still reading. It has helped me a lot to improve myself
in terms of perceptions that I used to have earlier about ‘friends’, ‘people in
general’ and ‘relationships’ that human kind has to offer to you. Most of the
problems in our lives are not the serious ones, as Carnegie said, ‘We suffer only from minute problems the most, and tend to overlook the bigger part of our
happy life’. Why should we go on spoiling the only life we got because of few
tiny pinching agents that life brought in for you?
