Ultimate competition!
My recent fascination has been reading quotes from Buddha. Give it a try. You will definitely benefit from it. It just gives me the positive energy to start my day. Here is one of my favourite quote.
For all those management students, isn't this what Maslow conveyed in his hierarchy of needs theory? This probably stands at the top of what his hierarchy says - Self Actualization. In short what he intended to say is when a man's basic needs (physiological & safety needs) are satisfied, he would look at higher purpose in life. What better than trying to prove himself, that he can reach his full potential? Isn't the ultimate competition for a man is himself? Think over it.
Now let me get back to Buddha's saying "Prove yourself to yourself, not others". If you can make the external competition irrelevant in your life, believe me you have reached heights. All the conquering has to happen internally within ourselves right? What better than you being your own competitor, eliminating all others outside. At times I wonder if I have to learn management or spirituality more. It is spirituality that has taught more than the former.
Another saying which I loved is, the best revenge you can give is to improve yourself. When it hurts observe, life is trying to teach something. Wonder what it feels when you are a student and are keen to learn every minute in life. Such a bliss.
Ignorance is probably the first step towards achieving anything great. Making yourself the competition and have the earnest intention to learn will make you the perfect warrior.
Om shanti om.
