'The Bucket List'

Written on Sunday, March 29, 2009 by Siddharth PV

Some of the best dialogues from the 'The Bucket List' -

Carter Chambers: You measure yourself by the people who measure themselves by you

- - - - -

Edward Cole: I envy people who have faith, I just can't get my head around it.
Carter Chambers: Maybe because your head's in the way.

- - - - -

Edward Cole: Somewhere, some lucky guy's having a heart attack.

- - - - -

Carter Chambers: Edward Perryman Cole died in May. It was a Sunday in the afternoon and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. He was 81 years old. Even now, I can't claim to understand the measure of a life, but I can tell you this: I know that when he died, his eyes were closed and his heart was open, and I'm pretty sure he was happy with his final resting place because he was buried on the mountain, and that was against the law.

- - - - -

Edward Cole: Kiss the most beautiful girl in the world.
Carter Chambers: How are you going to do that?
Edward Cole: Volume!

Rangai Jaa Ne Rang Ma...

Written on Thursday, March 26, 2009 by Siddharth PV

One of my favorite stavans ever.
 
Finally I tabbed it (the first part atleast)...
The rest will follow soon.
 
Btw - how did i end up doing it?
I was actually trying to tab the SUTTA Song..
When I happened to just accidently 'figure' a part of another stawan ' Aavyo charane tamaara'...
And then one thing led to another...
 
It is moments like this which actually make the phrase 'Divine Intervention' make true sense...

Rocky Balboa - on life...

Written on Sunday, March 22, 2009 by Siddharth PV

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that! "

How does experience help? And how do you help yourself, in case you dont have it?

Written on Tuesday, March 17, 2009 by Siddharth PV

When you are experienced - you have seen a lot more.
You have been in similar situations before.
You have seen the possible problems that you could face.
You know that A,B,C things work... And X, Y, Z approaches dont work. ( The list may not be exhaustive, but you still more than others.)
You have the initial 'comfort factor' of having 'been there and done that'
This can be a BIG morale booster. It helps you begin well.

And well begun is half done, well done.
Period.

So, how does a newbie on the job try and match his manager? (who, on most occasions would be his grand-daddy as far as the domain is concerned)

1. Be exceptionally brilliant (unfortunately cant proactively do too much about this)
2. Out-Listen, Out-Read & Out-Think

Out-Listen:
Keep your eyes and ears open - Take in ALL the gyan that you can.
You never know what might come in handy.

Out-Read:
What makes your managers so good is the rich exposure of the years that they have spent - handling problems REAL TIME.
If you read enough RELEVANT material (there are enough books, blogs, manuals out there) - You will read about the mistakes that you could make - that your manager would have already made, lived through AND LEARNT.
That way, you are cutting through your learning curve, putting yourself in a better position.

Out-think:
Most difficult of all. But spend more time analysing the problem at hand. Spend more thought on it. If you are reading and listening enough, this will be easier.

............

Of course - at the end of the day - living throuhg something can never be replaced by Listening, Reading or Thinking about it.
But atleast - you would know more. Your mind would have been exposed to a newer dimension. And as Einstein says -
Once your mind has been stretched to a new dimension, it WILL NOT go back to the old dimension.
You would have grown.
