Do You Have It In You!!!!

I represent an average college going guy who wants to enjoy his college life but at the same time is worried about his career, who wants to hang out with friends but at the same time wants to work on his project. He is confused, fickle minded but at the same time enthusiastic, energetic. He dreams a lot (Well I can guess what some of my friends dream of. One of them dreams of all those wild nasty things, one dreams of becoming a superstar, one dreams of becoming a big fashion designer and one of becoming a businessman. Some girls dream of their prince charming, while guys, of their dream girl. )

He thinks he has great potential to be successful in life but he just needs to be focused, just has to wait till he gets lucky, wait for that one opportunity.

What do you think makes him think that? Any idea?

I think it's his parents, teachers and friends who appreciate him for every little achievement. For example, when he gets 80% in his 10th standard, his parents say “Look son you got 80% in the boards. Well done. This means you have the potential to score more, but you have to work hard, focus more on your studies…blah blah blah!” Did anyone notice what he got? The POTENTIAL lollypop…which he's going to keep licking for the rest of his life.

Some readers might argue that some children actually listen to their parents, teachers, and peers and actually work hard once they know that they have potential, but hello! Go to the first line. I am talking about the AVERAGE student. Anyone who sincerely listens to his parents and works hard on his potential can never remain an average student. Trust Me!!

So is that the problem? Getting an AVERAGE score and being AVERAGE in your field be it games, music or whatever?
I think it is. And it is a big problem for students of a country which is not yet developed, where millions of boys/girls don't get a chance to study. They are working hard but on fields, dhabas, construction sites etc. They could have contributed more in the development of this country, but you AVERAGE people got the chance.

Ah! What is your problem Mr. Writer? Aren’t you satisfied with your life? Isn’t your girl friend in love with you any more? Not everyone can be above average, smart. There are different people in this society who have different mental levels, capabilities. And fine, I understand that there is some problem but do you have a solution?

Hmm…I think people are not trying hard enough. I don't find a single reason which supports the motion that you will not succeed even if you work hard (Exceptions are always there in life and chemistry). Rahim said "rasri aawat jaat te sil pe padat nishaan", which means even a rope made of jute can leave an impression on a hard rock if it is continuously rubbed on it. Why not take some initiative? Why not make a SWOT analysis on yourself? Just take one decision and work hard to achieve it. And yes you can influence others’ life too by working this way.

Chill maar na yaar!!!! Hey I’m not a serious kinda a guy either but I hate it when my uncle calls from Houston and says that there is no doubt that people here are smarter. We have to become something more than just AVERAGE. As all my friends know, I always want to be a part of the best team. All the students of our country are a part of a single team which is competing against students of other developed countries to prove that we are smarter!!!

Hey Mr. Why are YOU still AVERAGE when you know so much about it? Why don't you become one of those super intelligent guys?

So people I took the initiative to write this blog. Now if you need an AVERAGE guy for reference, let me be him. I will be the last one to become "Above Average". So there…I’ve just initiated a competition between Team India and the Rest of the World.
