Thinking was a real waste of time...

Years ago one of my teachers once told me,"Samrat tum sochte bahut ho..."

I 'contemplated' a lot, but couldn't figure out why he said that. 5 years have passed since that incident, and suddenly, today I realised what he wanted to say. Too late of course, but then they say ‘better late than never’.

Man has always been known for his intelligence, diligence and common sense, the last one being not so common contrary to what the name suggests. Shadowed by this fact, man has declared himself to be the most superior species on earth. Ironically, the most famous and the most successful persons on earth share a lot with beasts. Their spontaneity, aggressiveness and survival instincts are what helped them reach that far. Every human possesses a little bit of all these. But those who can master all three are sure to break the shackles and rise above all.

Today, I realised that I have wasted a lot of time in thinking. Before taking a decision, I used to think; think before thinking, think during the thinking and think after thinking. If I had to decide upon something, I used to do three things before it. Think, think and think again. Then either I used to take the decision or drop it. And if things didn’t turn up as I had expected them to, I would start thinking again. After more than a decade of dilemmas and conundrums and thinking over them repeatedly, finally I have stopped!!! No more will I rely on my frontal lobe but surrender purely to my intuitions. I am really sorry that I can’t write you what forced me to believe that I have finally given up my inhibitions, but trust me, next time you will hear what is really in my mind, not what I want you to believe that is in my mind.
