Every now and then we come across several people in
our life. The fact is that we live in the era of smart phones and stupid
people. Mostly, the conversation among them starts with a sentence “Hi…How
are you?” (The way of asking may be different). But the most pathetic thing is
that no one actually knows, “How they actually are?”
Do you know
why?
It’s simple, human nature is to peep in others house
i.e. people are interested in knowing others stuff rather than actually knowing
their own. Yes, it’s good knowing people as you can learn a lot from others as
well. But, before learning from others we have to learn ourselves.
People usually go for the career in the field
suggested by others i.e. either science or commerce. But, have you ever spent
time in knowing which career are you apt for and want to go for?
Is it the facebook app that is going to decide?
a) Your
career on the basis of your name.
b) How
much your partner loves you on the basis of date of birth?
c) And
the list goes on…
May be it can, because we live in, “The Tech Era”
where everything is controlled by the collection of electronic cards – Visa Card,
Maestro Card, PAN Card etc. Technology has made our life so comfortable and
everything is at ease with it. So, there is need to judge the stupid people
with electronic cards.
And yes, the pace with which the technology is
growing, the day is not far when two most important cards will be developed:
a) Emotional
Card: To judge your emotions and the way you feel.
b) Career
Card: To judge the career apt for you on the basis of your previous records.
Isn't it???
We live in the digital world having keyword binary
logic (0 or 1). But have you heard of the term called, “Fuzzy Logic”. In fuzzy
logic, value other than 1 or 0 are also possible such as 0.8 and 0.9 are almost
1 and 0.2 and 0.1 are almost 0. This can be considered as a scale of degrees of
truth.
We can
test this hypothesis on something we all use every
day in our lives, such as an elevator. If you recall, the old vintage elevators
used to come to an abrupt stop when they reached their designated floor.
They were based on binary logic. That is, if a floor is there
or not, the elevator keeps on moving or stops abruptly when pressed to do so,
and there is no third possibility. However, with the development of what
is known as “fuzzy logic” and its practical applications in everyday life, the
elevators, now come to a very smooth stop, when desired.
Fuzzy Logic is just a new way of
thinking called, “thinking outside the box”. It follows the footsteps of the
third way of, “The Bhagwad Gita”. In the Gita, we are told,
that behind a man’s actions there are generally two types of attitudes, namely:
1)
‘I shall work and, therefore, I shall enjoy the fruits of my actions because I
have a right to it’.
2)
‘If I am not to enjoy the fruits of my actions, that is, if there is nothing in
it for me, then I will not act at all’.
However,
the Bhagavad-Gita, verse 2:47 gives us yet another attitude of mind or a way of
life, which says: “karmanya vaadhika raste maa phaleshu kadaachan…. You must of course act, but don’t
think you have a right to the fruit of your actions.” This is the Third
Way
Similarly,
when someone asks you, “How are you?”
Have
you ever replied in a third way?
Normally
we either say good or bad but have you ever said, “I am not good.” You must be thinking,
“Am I gone crazy asking stupid questions again& again.”
But
the fact is that when you actually say that, “I am not good”. You actually feel
good.
Now
the question pops out…Why So???
You
have to perform a small exercise with me then you will know this. You have to
just read a sentence, think it and then tell me what you actually thought.
The
sentence is:
“Not to think of the elephant wearing pink
shoes.”
What is the result?
You must have thought about the elephant
wearing pink shoes. Isn't it?
Why it happened?
Because our subconscious mind ignores
the word called, “not” .We actually do the things that we are not supposed to
do.
In this way,
thinking outside the box you can say, “I am not good.” Your subconscious mind
will ignore the not from it and then you will only be left with, “I am good.”
Similarly, we know:
“Be the change you
wish to see in the world.” ------Mahatma
Gandhi
To see the change
in the world, you have to be that change and thinking outside the box for being
that change you have to first, “Know Thyself”.
“Know Thyself” is
the keyword of universal language which will lead you to the happiness and
excellence then success will surely follow you.
I apologize if you
found this article absurd and if it was just a waste of time for you. But, I
would be really appreciated if you “liked” it. I would be more appreciated if
you “disliked” it. And, I would be appreciated to the power infinity if have “not
liked” it as I know you must have applied the third way then and your
subconscious mind would have surely liked it.
Now, you must be
wondering , article has been finished but how to get the answer to, “Do you
actually need Emotional card and Career card?”
So, Here is the
answer:
If you come among the above three categories: liked, disliked & not liked. Then, I think you
actually know how you felt after reading it. So you don’t need those cards.
But, if you don’t know,
“How you felt?” after reading. Then sorry to say you have to wait until those
cards get developed…. Isn't it????
