Success Excellence & you

We've all seen 3 Idiots and loved it.
It is the highest grosser of all times(bollywood)
However it violates the basic laws of physics in the statement Excellence के पीछे भागो Success तुम्हारे पीछे भागेगी
I believe that You may never achieve Success this way (at least according to Physics)

Assumptions
  • The speed of 3 entities Excellence , Success & You is the same
  • There is some distance between each of them initially
There can be 3 directions which you can take
  1. Run towards Excellence
(stated in the movie as- "Excellence के पीछे भागो Success तुम्हारे पीछे भागेगी " )
In this scenario there will never be a situation when all three overlap.
As the speed is same and Time being constant the distance each covers will be the same hence leaving all 3 at the same distance at which they began.

Conculsion - Running towards Excellence will never get You Success :)

2. Stay where You are

When You stay put then atleast You don't runaway from Success implying Success will get to You in normal course of time.
3. Run opposite to Excellence

Now the relative speed of Success towards You doubles as You are running towards it with same speed.


Thus Excellence के पीछे भागोगे तो Success कभी नहीं मिलेगी
Excellence के उल्टा भागोगे तो Success जल्दी मिलेगी :)
खड़े रहोगे या अपनी जगह पड़े रहोगे तो Success देर से मिलेगी :) पर मिलेगी तो सही :P

Delay is Good


Very often people are criticized for starting too late or procrastinating but a proper analysis states otherwise

Doing things 11th hour improves adaptability, people don’t panic when faced with very tight deadlines.
While if Timely people are provided with 6 hours instead of 10 they start to feel the heat and if it reduces to 4 the sweat, and if it goes to 2 then …. u know :P
On the other side people who do the work in the last hour do not get bothered, rather they don’t even care if the deadline is 10, 6, and 4 or 2 hours as they are mentally prepared to get it done in last few moments only :)

The key tactic is counting back i.e. “if I need to finish something on 10th and the work takes 2 days I’ll start not before 8”

There are 2 problems that are sure to crop up when you start the work early
1. you finish early – means you get more work instead of reward for efficiency
2. you try to do it thoroughly and get entangled

Both the problems are avoided when we do it the intelligent way :)

Moreover there is a potential benefit of getting the task done automatically (i.e. someone else gets fed up and does it): P
And another advantage is we get to know what kind of (unfinished, low quality, inaccurate) work is passable,
So that we do exactly how much is required rather than full work :)


Example Mithun Da executes this logic perfectly. He knows the fact he can kill the villain in 2 minutes AND the film is 3 hours long. SO he dances around trees, relax, romances and gets beaten too. But he kills the villain in last 2 minutes only.

Reduce GLOBAL WARMING non-Literate Way :)

-->
Every Small portion of thing in crisis is useful


Water shortage - every drop of water counts
Electricity shortage - every unit counts
Money Shortage - every penny/paisa counts

When it’s Global Warming – Every LETTER printed counts
I extend this argument to PAPER SPACE – when you need to save PAPER every LETTER counts

-->
HOW
LETTER Saved=>Less Space Needed=>Less Paper Required=>Less Trees Cut=>Reduced GLOBAL WARMING

Every letter eradicated saves some space. And Saved Space is directly proportional to saved trees or reduced Warming

We can Start by using one size smaller font :)
There are many ways to do it, let’s go step wise
1.    Remove the USELESS letters. Nobody knows who put them there.
For example P in pneumonia; Cupboard and Psyche; B in Debt; M in Mnemonic;L in Calf, Half, Talk, Walk etc.They are just there serving no purpose because no one said why?
If we just remove these letters we save a Letter with no COST
2.    All written EXAMS are a major source of paper waste. Ideally eliminate the exams (or do them electronically)—If Not possible then keep word limit and deduct marks for every extra LETTER written
3.    Replace are by r and AND by & ( I guess no Explanation Required)
4.    Destroy all Synonyms of 1 word leaving the only 1 that needs least space

Just to see the magnitude
We save space = (No. of words with useless letters) X (No. of books) X (No. of occurrences of the words in the book)
  • we can look at using SMS language, banning Authors who write big books............
  • i will add Bharat's name in Credits too :)

:) Why Mediocre is the best :)

Why Mediocre is the best :)
When you are the best you tend to raise the bar. Expectations rise. Next time requires more effort.
When you are the worst you tend to break the bar.There is no expectation hence no support
So we should aim for the top and never reach there while ensuring we never hit the bottom.
Example 1:
A class of 30 people 5th standard.
A kid comes first.
In 6th standard he will be looked down upon even if he comes second.(बेचारे को डांट पड़ेगी--inspite of being 2nd)
He will be blamed for not studying properly and not putting much effort. (ज़रूर इसने पढाई नहीं की होगी)
On the other hand if he comes last, he will be scolded, scoffed at.
He will be so depressed that he will end believing in himself and remain at the bottom, even dig further.
(may be he'll think - पढाई का कोई फायदा नहीं ; मै ही ढोर हूँ )

Example 2:
A company of 10 salespeople
2001- An employee achieves highest figures
In 2002 if he does lesser he will be looked down upon even.
Again he will be blamed for not putting much effort or not concentrating on work.
If he does worst- he’s sacked. Depression—>end of self belief—>poorer show-->further depression.
Maybe some of that is in built in us, that is why we answer 6, 7, 8 when told to rate something on a scale of 10. We never tend to give a 0 or 10 especially when question Is on us.

A look at 3 viewpoints

View from the BOTTOM-

1. TOP is way too far
2. Everyone visible is ahead
3. Already discarded- not even normal assistance from others
View from the TOP-
1. Everywhere visible is Downwards.
2. Lonely
3. Nothing left to achieve- no motivation
For a normal human both are scary

Just look at A sane MEDIOCRE guy :) —
1. Can grow, Can fall.
2. Can achieve=motivation ; can fall= caution
3. Neither lonely nor overcrowded.
Now seeing the 3 cases choose your strategy :)
Had to create a corollary--
You can only rise when you hit the Rock Bottom
When at the top you will only fall. :D
