Actually, I don’t know the key to success

“I do not know the key to success, but I do know the key to failure, and that is trying to please everybody” Bill Cosby

What type of person are you? Are you the type that focus’s on pleasing yourself and others? Are you the type that pleases yourself only or are you the type that’s always trying to make others happy?

Let’s be frank. It is really a task trying to satisfy everyone with a decision you make or an opinion. Well you might think that you are right, they will think you are wrong.

What makes a right right? And a wrong a wrong?

Right and wrong are both philosophical polarities that have been interjected into our belief systems by our parents, the church, our peers and society.

Have you ever taken the time to think about how your actions may be right or wrong?

If I told you that if I could send you back into time to save all the victims from the tragedy of the Titanic would you do so?

“Well of course yes I would Hitesh. Why is that even a choice?”

So you go ahead and you save them all and this is what happens:

Your mother might have fallen in love with one of the survivors and married him instead of your father. You would not have been born.

One of the survivors on that ship went on to become a serial killer and a rapist.

Because of your heroism you became famous and of course with fame come wealth. You do wish to return back your present time and leave your wife and kids with no husband and father.

We live in a strange and funny world, where our insurance companies will not payout if someone shoots themselves in the head but will payout if you’re a smoker and die from lung cancer they will pay. What is the difference between the two? One is an instant death and the other a slow and gradual one. THE RESULT is the SAME. Just different tools with time being a major factor.

How come we don’t counsel our smokers and take drastic action when we see someone light up?  Just have a think about that one.

I just want you all to take comfort in knowing and being rest assured yes, for every person you make happy, you make someone sad, be it indirectly or directly.

For every person that you motivate you also demodulate someone. For every person you may help you may hurt just as many. Every day has its night; every life has its death.

Such is the law of balance and such is the laws of the universe.

I say take comfort because when you find out one day you may have hurt someone, please don’t forget that person you have loved. You are a perfect balanced being in this universe and no matter what you do you are always loved by the Universe and Life is great!!!

Be great always,

Hitesh Surujbally
