Chetan Bhagat at SYMBI :
“Don’t just have career or academic goals. Set goals to give you a balanced successful life. I used the word balanced before successful. Balanced means ensuring your health, relationships, mental peace are in good order. There is no point of getting a promotion on the day of your break up. There in no fun in driving the car if your back hearts. Shopping is not enjoyable if your mind is full of tension. Life is one of those races in nursery school where you have to run with a marble in a spoon kept in your mouth. If the marble falls their is no point coming first. same is with life. Where health and relationships are the marble. Your striving is only worth it if there is harmony in your life else you may achieve the success but this spark, this feeling of being excited and alive will start to die. One thing about nurturing the spark… don’t take life seriously. Life is not meant to be taken seriously as we are really temporary here. we are like a prepaid card with limited validity. If we are lucky we may last another 50 yrs; and 50 years is just 2500 weekends. Do we really need to get so worked of? Its ok bunk a few classes, scoring low in couple of papers. goof up a few interviews, take leave from work, fall in love, little fights with your spouse. We are people not programmed devices.”
