I have a friend whom I would like to refer as an Addict…His problem….he is addicted to success!!!! I mean to say that whatever he does, he wants to be the best. Say, He is driving a car then he would like to be the first to reach his destination. And he would often try to overtake the other vehicles on the road, which makes him a wee bit of a dangerous driver. And if you are sitting with him in his car…..Hang on to your dear life!!!
If he wants to eat something, he would like to eat everything in major quantities and make other’s eating habits look ridiculously less. Which makes him a little bit of an overweight. But since he has that kind of an attitude, he does not like to have a fat body.
So he exercises….like a mad person to make him look fit and have a great body…..He is still trying…not really reached that ‘Hrithik Roshan’ type body.
If wants to say something, he would go on like he was the only speaker, God has created.
Which makes him a little boastful in nature.
So some times people dislike him. But he does not want people to dislike him. So he evens things out by keeping quite (maintaining silence) for a long time. Which puts doubts in a third person whether the guy is mute or what!!!!
Bottomline….He wants to be Successful in everything. One time he failed in something.
He got so depressed. I could not bear this. And had to say something.
“Well, look at the bright side…you are successful in failing!!!” I said.
And that brought him back on his feet and hopping happy!!!
I guess Successfully failing is also an art!!!!!!
What do you think????
