Know me to know more, what to know more?


Question raises a question, its human nature. You ask a question and before you get an answer for that question; you already have another one ask. Has this fast paced life style made us impatient? Do we want things to happen faster, if faster then even faster?

We want to grow fast, rise fast, ride fast, eat fast, sleep fast; fast, fast, fast… is there an end to it. No, there is no end. It’s always a start. Always a start; Just for a moment think, you were in collage, studying the subject you liked… again a question from me, ask yourself, the subject you are studying is really something that you liked and you always wanted to study? Very few people will have Yes, many will have yes and as the time passes by, it will be no. This is the typical Indian student mentality. I want to study this, but think for a moment did you really wanted to study this? Did you really pass you tenth grade or PUC to study this or do this?

Most would answer yes, but given some time to think and analyze many will say mmm… yes… no… of course yes… let me think no no no… it’s a no no… I never wanted to do this, I never wanted to study medicine, I never wanted to study engineering, I never wanted to study science, I never wanted to study business… many don’t realize what we have and what our potentials are. Did I always want to become to become an IT professional? Did I always want to become a doctor? These entire questions come up after you have become one.

So, how can we decide what we want to do and more important what we want to be? That’s where the “Know me more, what to know more?” principal come into focus.

There are two ways of looking at things… 1) Want to do 2) Have to do

In both the above reference, you have something in mind. The task, the job, the work, the thing is there, it’s only that we have to decide as to we want to do or we have to do. Most of us look to go with the second option. That is, we choose have to do over want to do. Why does that happen? Oh god, not again… one more question. That’s it, that’s the end… if we can answer that we know it. Why we have to do, once we know we have to do it becomes easier and our ability to do what we want to do increases.

The final conclusion of “know mw to know more, what to know more” lies in our self, our ability to ask question to our self, and answer them. The more we can do that, there is higher chance that we can do what we want to do and not what we have to.
