Coming back from work today, I heard a beautiful song in my car. It was this song 'Ma' from the film 'Dasvidaniya'. I recall watching this film few years back and writing a blog post after watching it. Here's the reference.
So, my point of argument here well is nothing. I remember how the protagonist in the film (played by Vinay Pathak) had created his bucket list, when he realised that he is going to kick the bucket soon, that his time in this world is limited. The protagonist was a meek, subdued character who listed out his daily to-do chores every morning. I recall how his priorities and to-do things changed after he had foreseen his death.
As Steve Jobs also famously said, everything fades away in the face of death. All your worries, achievements, plans, challenges... etc.
He said that every morning, when you get ready to go to work, you should ask yourself, what am i going to do today? And, if this was my last day, would I still be wanting to do those same things? And, if the answer to this question for many consecutive days is no, then you know you need to do something about it.
Steve Jobs was truly an icon who has left an indelible impact in such a short life span. He inspires me even after he is gone. Often, I find myself thinking about this statement, and this gives me a perspective.. a larger canvas to place my troubles and tribulations in and realise they are not worth losing my sanity. And then, all of a sudden, things get clearer.
