It must be understood that either nothing is rocket science, or everything is.Both approaches are equally relevant:The first approach is relevant when approaching a task without much understanding of it. If one treats a task as a rocket science then it would be impossible to try it with an open mind.However, treating a task as a rocket science is important if you want to better yourself at it. At

Although most commentators of the East point out that "choosing" death is the way of the warrior, it seems to be a most impracticable way of approaching daily situations or making decisions.However, it would be advisable, whenever one has a choice, to choose the harder, more difficult path. The reason is simple: difficulty leads to inner growth whereas easiness leads to complacence and stagnancy.

If Truth does exist and if any perception could by itself be true, the part inside the following inverted commas could be percieved as Truth, except that the inverted commas would not be there:"                                                                                                 "

It must be remembered that decisions are always made subjectively, and a person's state of mind before making a decision and after making it is never the same.What this means is that a decision cannot be criticised retrospectively, because the environment in which the mind operates at the time of the decision is not the same as the environment thereafter.However, one can attempt to analyse the

If you are not getting something that you "want", the reason why you're not getting it could be a strange truth: you don't actually want it.It seems a bit difficult to understand, but recent observation reveals to me that in many situations, men stop "wanting" something when they realise that it is difficult to get. They may crib about it, but the truth is that they don't want it.The simple

One should only thank someone when that person expects to be thanked. But in many cases, one can only guess what the person expects and in these situations, the following rule will do a lot of good:I would suggest that the words 'thank you' should only be used when you want to express your gratitude to someone for either going out of the way to help you or helping you on your request or helping

We've all been in situations where we try to be too nice and pretend to agree with someone when actually we don't. Some believe that such behaviour is self-demeaning and is therefore wrong. Others defend it by saying that within its limits, such behaviour is an occasional compromise for the sake of better cooperation.I strongly believe that it is wrong to do so - and it has nothing to do with

"Watch your thoughts. They become words. Watch your words. They become deeds. Watch your deeds. They become habits. Watch your habits. They become character.

When dealing with difficult situations, we often try to "think differently".Well, "thinking differently" might allow us to see the situation in a new light, thereby directing us to the manner in which the situation can be changed.But really, the situation can only be changed by doing something. Until one actually does something, thinking differently can only alter the character of the situation

A typical question that many of us face in an interview is "why ?". "Why do you want to do this ?" , "Why did you choose this profession ?", "Why do you like this subject ?", "Why do you want to be (x) ? " ; etc.The answers are not always very easy to find.But look at it this way: think of some of man's greatest feats: the ascent of Everest, man's journey to the moon, Michaelangelo's sculpture,

I began by wondering about the question of knowledge. Is it important to know ? Well, tentatively, yes. Well then, why know everything ? It's curiosity. If you don't know something, you generally feel like knowing it.So then I came to think of The Enlightened, who is supposed to know everything. Wouldn't that be boring ? Because curiosity won't have a place in his mind. And the death of curiosity

When one says that one likes something, it is always an expression of emotion. It doesn't matter if you say you like a girl or if you say that you like driving. The act of liking is always an emotional act. It has no rational basis.When you like something very strongly, we say that you have a passion for it. Thus, passionate people are deeply emotional when it comes to their passion.More

Anxiety and worrying is caused by one simple, solvable mental state. It is caused by the desire to avoid a particular situation, whether inevitable or otherwise.The solution is pretty simple: whether or not what you worry about is likely to happen, one simply HAS to totally accept the possibility of that particular situation occurring. Once you totally accept that what you are worried about might

Some personalities, such as politicians, statesmen, certain intellectuals, bureaucrats, diplomats and perhaps businessmen must possess the following mental abilities to function well.They should have two distinct modes: on and off. When they are on, their mind is working superbly, taking in a lot of data, making sense of it consciously and sub-consciously and generating good output according to

Anger is always a sign of frustration or desperation. Once you realise this, it could be easier for you to control yourself when you're angry. It (anger) can rarely achieve anything useful. Also keep this in mind when dealing with an angry person. Further, anger arises very easily in a person who is hungry or tired.

An experienced man (or woman) is a person who can predict the behaviour of a system which is otherwise unpredictable, simply because of the amount of experience that he has with the system.The person might not actually make predictions (as these can themselves alter behaviour), but will act upon certain internal assumptions that he makes about how the system will behave in the future.I do not

I feel quite convinced that some of the biggest problems of the human race have their root in our ability to count.Nature does not count in precise numbers. It only understands relative terms.Some have suggested that the ability to count in humans has been misused, but I would just conclude by telling everyone to be less obsessed about numbers. It's one of the easiest ways to feel better

I have discovered that even in some sports and other professions where work has to be mostly done alone, it is better to work side by side with somebody. The problem is one of motivation. I've realised that you are most motivated when your energy levels are high and least motivated when your energy levels are low. So really motivation rarely helps when you need it the most :) It is only the

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.

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

Despite the increasing levels of stress, the longer working hours, lesser free time, etc that popular opinion suggests we have, I am unshakably convinced that our time is not as important as it used to be in our earlier generations.I have a good proof for it.In the earlier times, the probability of meeting death at the very next moment was very high. Thus, we factored impending death while

I have one earlier post about how a perfect system should be flexible. Here's an expansion of that idea.What I meant to say there was that when running very well a human system should run on the gut feel of the human beings involved and not on pre-determined procedures.

My blog is titled 'Observations' of a talented idiot and not 'thoughts'. In this light, I must give my readers pure observations and not opinions or thoughts. Thus, I apologise for some of my recent posts, which I felt were not up to the mark, but I could not assign a reason to it. I hope this is an observation and I promise to make amends.

This post is closely related to the one before this.I believe that any society that does not voluntarily reward quality where it seems to be unrewarded will eventually become obsolete and will rust to death. Nothing is free. If you don't pay for it now, you'll indirectly pay (perhaps more) for it later. The statement might seem very obvious to begin with but it involves every individual including

I know that this suggestion is very difficult to implement, but try it:When thinking of things and analysing them, try not to classify them into categories. Put them on a scale.For example: Norway is a cold country and Singapore is a warm country.This classification seems perfectly justified, but it leads to a liking for oversimplification, where we continuously put things and people

All good poems, songs and paintings looked very good to me even when I saw them in their 'making' phase.Just contrast this with the buildings we see being constructed around us.... I don't find them good looking even after they

This one's from a good friend:Amitabh Bachchan, in one of his movies, is drunk when points to a bottle of whiskey and says, "If this thing had spirit in it, it would behave drunk." (that's the best translation i could manage).What it means is that the alchohol itself does not make us behave strangely, but it only releases something that is already there within us. Think about it.....

Another nice theory developed while having a nice time.....I would often think that any field of performance started as nothing in particular, on development became a science because of its technical aspects, and in its stage of highest development became "art". Why art? Because art is art! I couldn't really explain that one. Then, a brainwave....Why do we call something art? It is because we can

I developed this theory on team sports rather as a matter of fun and as a good point to have a good argument upon, but it has matured into a better theory which makes sense.My initial statement was that team games/sports are only played by people who's abilities are average or below average, because only they can benefit from other team members. Any player who is above average will soon get

As many of yo might be able to imagine, I am running out of good observations to make, and I am relying on qoutes to get things through. Today, I bring to your attention the lyrics of a song called "Everybody's Free" , by Baz Luhrmann. They are very insightful indeed, please read them and get the song if possible.

I have found two good qoutes, on which I don't intend to give any major explaination."Even to win the lottery, you first need to buy a ticket" - Anonymous."You can't sell ice to the eskimos." - A musician from Singapore, when asked for his opinion on the eastern musicians who imitate the west.

I have realised that a system for producing near perfect results will always have to be a very fluid system, which will allow huge flaws just as it allows high excellence. This system cannot be consistent, and its results will vary very greatly. That is the price of perfection.I visualise it something like the difference between solids and liquids. A solid has a fixed shape.. that is a metaphor

Even when you understand the value of discipline, it is still very difficult to implement all you know very well. This is the source of what I would like to call the "Philosopher's Pain", in that he knows what must be done but still cannot do it because he is weak. I can suggest two methods for this. One way is to throw yourself into the line of fire, where you have no option but to change. For

There are times in our life when we really feel sick. There's nothing worth living for, and everything seems utterly boring and pointless. This is the best time for some introspection. It is also time to sit down and motivate yourself. As this is a low point, the only way you can go now is up! You are bound to rise to new heights, provided you don't lose hope. This is the start of the next big

There is a very fine line between chaos and creativity. Infact, creativity can be produced from chaos.Ok. I've got a good idea. Our mind is like the surface of a lake, and thoughts are like stones thrown onto it. Now, when the mind is filled with thoughts, the surface is shattered and there are too many ripples coinciding with each other. Now, imagine a calm mind...a still surface. Now throw just

I do believe that we are victims of cause and effect, and that our choices are finally illusions. Because, even if one says that one can make good choices, it is finally an effect of the different influences one has. However, this has some implications:Firstly, it means that one should always be very humble, even when one is very succesful, because one is only a victim of cause and

Seeing the wrecks around me, I feel compelled to expound my principles for the betterment of many people!Pain is just another side of the coin which has pleasure on one side. The equation is very simple: The total amount of pain you experience is equal to the total amount of pleasure you experience and vice versa. Indulgence in pleasure causes pain, and indulgence in pain causes pleasure. However

Take some time to be alone. Privacy frees one from others, and also from their way of thinking. It gives you physical as well as mental space, and it leads to independence of thought. Always, always, take some time to be alone. By alone, I also mean without your phone, TV, the internet, any book, your dog, etc. Alone means completely alone, where not a word needs to be said, heard, read , etc.

It does make great sense to do a regular overview of what you plan to do in life, how you plan to do it, and the principles that you are always going to follow. The first two things can be done once in a month or so, depending upon the time span of your tasks, but I strongly believe that the third one should be done daily.A daily refresher of the mind is really useful. These include some

If you believe that you will be at peace after you achieve something or get to some goal, you are wrong! Success brings along with it even more difficulty. To cut a long story short, life is a series of problems to be solved.If you want to be at peace with yourself, happy and satisfied, it is now or never! If you want to know how to do this, read my post titled, "The truth about happiness."

I must now explain the idea of perfect freedom... One must write as soon as one gets ideas.The basic concept involved in perfect freedom is that you are free to do exactly what you want to do. So is everyone else. This frees you from any obligation towards anything whatsoever. But it also frees others from your expectations out of them. This really creates a beautiful atmosphere as far as

The most talented people among us rarely ever accomplish anything in their field of talent. Human beings thrive on challenges. Our greatest achievements have not been because we had to achieve what we did, but because we loved to take up the challenge.

A good climbing session almost always makes for retrospection, inspiration, and realization!There is never a time in life to celebrate or to enjoy oneself. Never, ever. Our life, if lived well and even enjoyably, must be spent in unwavering and high discipline. Only disciplined people can truly enjoy life. Enjoyment through drink or partying is very superficial enjoyment. Real enjoyment can only

This time, I think, I must comment upon the difficulties faced by people who are great.Great people are always different, and they cannot relate very well with the general society. Their high IQ makes many amusing or interesting things downright boring for them, and the things that they find interesting cannot even be understood by most of us, because of which we consider them crazy.

One often hears people talk of the wonders of intuition. Before I begin, let me be clear.. Intuition is also called gut feeling, and it is what one refers to when one talks about all the mysterious ways of understanding, "deep within" as it is said. Now, there is a very good book on similar lines, called "Blink". But I am not going in that direction as you will see.It is impossible to doubt the
