Thoughts on my 21st Birthday!

28th of April 2010, 21 years ago, at 11;30 in the morning I was born, and so started the diary, that I call today the book of DarkMystic.


21 is a an important milestone in one's life. And as I look back, I am thank full to all the friends that  I have made in past many years, who have made life's journey so far very memorable.


Life is full of change, and from a shy skinny boy, Life has changed and molded me into the confident and dynamic person  I am today and continue to grow on that path. 


For this growth I have my parents to thank and the numerous teachers who have influenced my life over the years none more prominent than my principle at Hamdard Madam Munira Gulzar and the Legend himself Hakim Muhammad Said.


and I hope that I can become the Man that my parents. my teachers, have seen within me, and may Allah allow me to realize my true potential.


and on a parting note


"Life is a journey, and it is made memorable by the friends who hitched along for the ride that i call my life"


Nahi Jeetay hum bar bar, bas aik bar milti hay zindagani
toh jeelay aisay kay phir nah rehjay koi aas-e-zindagni


(THEMATIC TRANSLATION: You only live Once so live life without regrets)

Lessons from 3 idiots!!

I was watching 3 idiots again, and this movie has such a subtle way of giving you priceless life advice. Although I may not be the only one who has come to this conclusion, but I am just sharing what I learned from this wonderful movie.

1. Pursue excellence Success will Follow: Always strive for excellence and remember perfection is a moving target, the day u think you have achieved perfection is the day progress stops. So remember Success is just a by-product of excellence.
2. Life is Beautiful: Life is a gift and it needs to be cherished and lived to the fullest, don;t die before actually dying.
3. Be passionate: Remember be passionate about what ever you do in life, You must have passion, that will that drive to excel and a will of fire to keep your passion alive.
4. Be the eternal student: Life is an endless journey of learning, never ever for a moment think that you know it all, for life has always something to teach you, and learn from wherever you get the opportunity.
5.  No pressure: Remember life can be stressful don't let the pressure get to you. 
6. EQ (Emotional Quotient) is as important as IQ: many at times people do not give importance to emotional intelligence as to how does one deal with emotional states, proper management of emotions is as vital as Intelligence.
7.  Necessity is the mother of all Inventions: Do i need say more
8. Simplicity in life:  Keep life simple, do not over think situations or make a mountain of a mole hole.
9. Be Dynamic: In today's fast changing world gone are the days of being single faceted individuals you have to be dynamic, and confident to excel.
10. Love is boundless: Trust your partner, and remember love is not bound by time and space, and love is unconditional.
11. How you say it? MATTERS: Often people forget the power of speech, how you something? matters, so think well before you speak and practice the art of good speaking ;for if communication is dead everything is dead.
12. Unleash the Talent within: Within each of us is the capacity to be pioneers but only few of us manage to have the passion and drive to bring out that talent and genius within and excel. So be driven and bring out the genius within.

Hope this posts makes a positive impact in your life.

till next time

remember

 " Perfection is a moving target"
