I've been longing to write about it as soon as it became clear to me. i can write a lot about it & detail the whole thing up. However, recently my posts have become too long & people asked me to write shorter notes.
So, what exactly is ambition? Its an impure emotion. In its daily use, its what we want to do but therein lies the problem. Because what we want to do & do eventually, is many a times, influenced by our family, girlfriend/boyfriend or peer groups. Sometime back, I had the feeling that I'll do something worthwhile to show off some of my classmates back at school, who used to think they were they only good ones around. This is the flaw of the notion of ambition, in daily use. If you are successful, its the Bollywood flick, else you are Devdas. If you are unsuccessful, your ambition devours you. PERIOD.
But what is passion? Its your hobby, your avocation(hobby). There was some famous poem by Robert Frost, where he talks about how beautiful life would be if avocation(hobby) & vocation(profession) become the same. You can take thousand, no infinite failures in your stride & try again with the same effort you put the 1st day.
Exactly what is said in 3 Idiots, success k piche mat bhago, kaamyabi k piche bhago! farq nahi padhta ki success piche aaye na aye!
And Farhan Qureshi's words in the same movie that he'll at least be happy even if he earns less. His neighbours may well go to hell. as they really don't have a role to play...
