I follow my heart, no matter what. i'm not too ambitious, not too competitive. I like my life to go at a languid pace. I don't steer my life. Life drives me. Modesty and humility are my strengths.

Let the journey continue
Knowledge, experience, success, intellect… everything is a journey. To keep growing, one needs to keep moving. The moment you stop, you begin stagnating. Stagnant waters are always insecure of the moving ones. Algae is their best companion. They become so used to the fixed ways of doing things that they resist all kinds of change. In order to protect their territory, the stagnant ones do to the restless souls a big favour. They plan and plot and inadvertently help them to move on and move ahead. Their exploration continues. So does their growth. Journeymen should always thank those who push them out and help them shrug the complacency and catch the train to the next station. It’s all a grand plan of the biggest planners known to mankind. In his story the main protagonist is always the one meant for bigger purposes. The adversaries are pawns and character actors who just help the main story move forward.

brilliant!Love the analogy. By the way, the post reminds me of this dialogue from the movie 'Up in the air'. While firing people George Clooney says "Anybody who ever built an empire, or changed the world, sat where you are now. And it's *because* they sat there that they were able to do it. "
