Ode to Passion

Very often, we skip doing the things that we live for because we can't find the time and space for them.

- It was too late.

- I was dead tired.

- I had an exam.

- I had a important meeting.

These are the only times that make a difference. If I do something everyday, but when it becomes hard for me to do it, I let go, it's no big deal.

That's the difference between a passion and all else - For a passion, it only matters then... everything else is forgiven.

If you don't have a passion, ignore this post.

Wit and Wisdom

There are two equally important factors that determine the quality of a decision. The first one is wit. the other one is wisdom.

By wit, I would like to point out the alertness of the mind and the amount of attention that one is paying to the present moment.

By wisdom, I mean the total knowledge relating to the subject of the decision that the mind has and remembers at the present moment.

Both these factors are equally important. Only a person who is both knowledgeable and alert at the same time can be entrusted to regularly take good decisions.
