i don't personnally like this guy or his books but this one isn't bad..
Excerpt from the Speech given by Chetan Bhagat at Symbiosis.
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,
there is no point coming first. Same 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 to be taken seriously, as we are really temporary here. We are
like a pre-paid card with limited validity. If we are lucky, we may
last another 50 years. And 50 years is just 2,500 weekends. Do we
really need to get so worked up? It's ok, bunk a few classes, goof up
a few interviews, fall in love. We are people, not programmed devices.
"Don't be serious, be sincere." :)
