THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY...

Back in school, during the morning assembly, there used to be a sort of ritual, where each day, one student was asked to share a “THOUGHT FOR THE DAY”. Nobody paid much attention to it, of course. Now when I see around, those thoughtful one liners are either someone’s Facebook or Whatsapp status, or a caption for their pictures posted on social networking sites! Talking about thoughts, there are movies which have some killer one liners, or thoughtful dialogues which we all go gaga about. 

So today, I am sharing with you all some of the best lines I can remember from some Indian movies, which are very much, in a sense, applicable to our very own lives as well. Lest they don’t work, I’ve also mentioned the speaker and the movie, so you can see that on Youtube!! (No Thanks please!!)

So, this week’s post is basically your old school time “thought for the day”, but with a slight twist. 

• "I’m not a writer. Writers delve deep into the ocean of thought and bring out gems. I just shared my experience." 
  (Amitabh Bachchan, Baghban) 

A student, an employee, an entrepreneur, a family person or anything else..... No matter who you are or what you do, each one of you is a writer, and you are scripting the very best movie, that being your life.

With each day that passes, with every experience you have, by virtue of every lesson that you learn, you are indeed writing the story of your life and keeping it going. So make sure, when it’s your turn to finally look back upon your life, you have a riveting story to read!! 

• "Even Spider Man has to take risks, I’m just a Salesman." 
  (Ranbir Kapoor, Rocket Singh) 

Don’t be afraid of taking risks in life, they are a part and parcel of life. Whether it’s the girl/boy you like, or the career you want to pursue, or any decision you have to take for that matter, there will always be some risk. Go ahead and take the leap, or you will always be left regretting. (I am not saying GO OUT AND SPEND ALL YOUR MONEY IN A CASINO!!!!) 

Just for the record, I told the girl I liked how I felt about her, have opted for something different than the conventional careers  I had on offer and most recently, tasted the dish I never liked in appearance!! And here I’m, happily writing about it for you all to read, so it can’t be that bad, can it?

So go ahead, and take that plunge. 

• "Say it when it comes from the Heart." 
  (Hrithik Roshan, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobaara) 

It’s not just about saying, but everything you do in life. Do it from the heart. There’s no point doing something which doesn’t interest you, or saying things which you don’t believe in, but say nonetheless just so that you can be perceived as cool among your friends. Stay true, and listen to your heart 

• "Small things do happen in Big Cities everyday, Senorita." 
  (Shahrukh Khan, Dilwale Dulhanyia Le Jaayenge) 

Don’t keep fretting over trivial issues in your life. Many a times, we do nothing other than over complicating simple things, and worrying over the pettiest of matters. I know that, because I have done that for quite a while!! But seriously, try and keep a calm attitude, instead of pressing the panic button every time something peculiar happens. 

• "Strive for Excellence, Success will automatically follow you."
  (Amir Khan, 3 Idiots) 

Well that’s pretty self explanatory, isn’t it? Don’t just go through the motions; rather try to be the best version of yourself at everything you do. The rest will be taken care of. 

• "When you really want something, the whole universe conspires to make sure you get it." 
  (Shahrukh Khan, Om Shanti Om) 

This is for both, the lover boys out there as well as the ambitious ones. Keep working hard, stay true and diligent, persevere.... and rest as they say.... is destiny. 

Well, I can’t think of other classic lines at the moment which can be adapted to our everyday lives, do let me know if anything comes to your mind. But before I go... here’s one more (and the last) thought for the day: 

“You can’t rewrite your life. But you can always add a new chapter to it.” 

(Puneet Bajaj, The Artistic Expression)

Until next time

Take Care :)
