SIMPLE LIVING AND HIGH THINKING

Simple living and high thinking...


The greatest people in the world who have ever achieved anything beyond our imaginations have always followed a pretty simple and frugal lifestyle and this in fact is one of the biggest reasons behind their success, because to reach the top, you have to sacrifice a lot of things. I have seen a lot of people who have been talented, who have been exceptionally good at something they used to do but when they just started tasting success, they became so much enamored by small things that they just couldn't step out of its glamour and they continued winding up in such traps that they could never come out and reach the top but those who don't deter from their path and continue doing what they love rather than being tangled into the perks of the world, at last reach the top.

It is a human tendency that we have a great proclivity for so many things around us that we actually don't do what we must do for ourselves. We confine ourselves to so many stupid things(which the world considers as pretty good etc.) that we stop doing what's good for us and start doing what pleases others. Even before achieving great things, just after getting a small success, people become completely replenished with ego, pride etc. that they stop learning. Even if they fail, they try to hide their failure owning to their excessive ego and the who process of learning from the mistakes is eradicated and at last the person goes nowhere, because the person who thinks he knows the most is the one who actually knows that least.

Vishwanathan Anand, the famous Indian chess grand master, once said ," Never think that you have learnt more, because when you start thinking that you have learnt so much, you stop learning and you get confined to a limited knowledge which is in itself a disaster."

The Greatest Indian political analyst and kingmaker Kautilya wrote in his great book Chanakya Neeti, "Our life is not that much great that we do all the mistakes ourselves and learn from them and hence its necessary to learn from other's mistake." But actually a person who believes he knows the most turn a blind eye onto things which he could have learnt from others (because he believes that he knows more than anybody else and hence nobody else could teach him anything new), at last falls in the trap of one of the those things that he could have learnt before and passes away.

Haughtiness is one of the greatest disaster that a person can commit. This is the deadliest blow that a person can fire on himself and its a common trait of all the successful people to be simple in their attitude, appearance and nature and this quality which others think is a normal character trait is actually the reason behind their success.....
