No weaklings this week

I heard it somewhere, for a building to be strong, you need to ensure the foundation is perfect. For a building to be exemplary, see that the paint is perfect.

Well, the thing I am trying to emphasize here is that, for the task to be perfect, the final touches need to be the best, need to be so very artistic, so very Da Vinci types, where the work says it all.

Its been a long journey, since I took a small step in my life... or rather, my academic career... to put it articulately. I ventured into the unknown world of CFA... unknown for the fact it emphasized on the very principles I have, as a principle kept out of my life - ethics, hard work, perserverence, dedication, targets, goal ... all in all some words, I barely managed to understand once when I was trying to "bell" the CAT... (forget belling the cat, my ears still say I am in the Tirupati... city of temples for the uninitiated)

It is said - " Work smart, coz, if you put 10% of labor for 90% of your work time, try putting 90% of that 10% , in the rest 10%, results shall be, you get 100% of the job done with just 19% of the efforts" (I leave the mathematics for you to work out...)

People say, words say it all. I say, words save you from a "bare it all" situation...

Well, as I see myself in the last two months, I see that while I had been regular in being kicked out of school by my principal , for the first time, I was kicking my principles of life out. The perseverance which still was a virgin vocabulary for me, was like my most potent weapon, the targets I am seeking to achieve have become much more appealing, than perhaps the most divinely beautiful damsel I have ever sought in my life... (though I got one nonetheless) and hah!!! ethics... no no... I still have to cram their rules and try to scape through in whatever remotely close comes before me.

And this is it. The stage is almost set. A week before my grand finale is held. Well, as I say, while I shall be taking solace from the fact that the 90% time factor has been over, there is a lot of encouragement and motivation to be taken from the mere thought, that its time the 90% is worked through.

Talk about the driving force, trust the power of dreaming to success

Now, as the final week approaches, I look behind and say... this is the best you can do... however, the best is yet to come. Its easy to say, I have done my best, lets see, but inside, we all know that success is the sweetest thing ever...

While I do not doubt the OPINION that its fate that one is destined to, changing it is impossible, I also firmly believe in the FACT, that life is all about missions, and it's not always "Tom Cruise" who can do the "Mission Impossible".
