The one who got it Right without being Righteous

I have been reading Steve Job's biography for quite some time now but haven't yet managed to finish it, it's just the kind of person he is irritates me to the core but yesterday I managed to watch the entire movie Jobs and I was speechless. That feeling when you love someone and hate them at the same time; Steve Jobs what a visionary, such an inspiration but such a rotten soul and on the other hand I connect wit woz to such an extend its beyond description, he is a brilliant/intelligent version of me.  Whether it's the movie or the book there is something about this man Mr. Jobs, it enters your system and steers you up from inside. Mr Steve Jobs is one inspirational jack ass.
Also I feel on a personal level and its not just restricted to Steve Jobs, people in general take the liberty of doing morally/ ethical incorrect things or in general things which are wrong on human grounds because someone has treated them badly in past or something bad happened to them in past or they had a disturbed childhood. Let me make it VERY CLEAR  you don't get the licence to do bad because something bad happened to you in past, its your rotten soul or just the kind of person you are that makes you do bad stuff; it has nothing to do with your past, present or future, its just your excuse to do things your way when even you know in the back of your mind that it's the wrong thing to do. As far as "disturbed childhood" is concerned everyone has a disturbed childhood, it's just the way you look at it. Life in general is not filled with all happy stuff or all sad stuff, it's a mixture. It completely depends on the kind of person you are; one can either keep crying over bad things, brood on it and develop into a person driven by negativity or one can look at the bright side and give out positivity.
Just because something good is the by product of a negative behavior doesn't make the negative behavior a valid one.
Also pain can't be relative it's always superlative when it's yours; everyone goes through shit at some point in life so people need to stop giving excuses about what bad happened in past for their present unreasonable behavior

“Smartness Guide for Intelligent Dummies” - Confession of a Honest Soul

       My very first realization after entering the real world (post my graduation) was that I have very little knowledge about the real world. For a very long time I lived with the pride of knowing more than my peers, being more honest, being sincere etc only to discover it means nothing without the knowledge of what life really is and how to deal with the people (mostly jackasses) and conduct yourself amongst them.

       Imagine my plight when I came to know that all these years of efforts, all this bookish knowledge, all these qualities which I was so proud of had zero value in "the real world"; my world came crashing down. Since then I have been a combination of humility, under confidence and openness to taking others opinions and advise seriously. My brain had become a "mandir ka ghanta" which anyone and everyone would come and "bajao".

       Years and years of observations, experiences and lessons learned by burning my finger, hands, heart and soul I came to a conclusion that these so called "know it all" people who I have been listening to and taking their every word as an advise know very little (even lesser than me), worst thing is that what they know isn't even right but the level of confidence (read stupidity) with which they believe in it is absolutely hilarious.

       It’s a great journey of self-discovery so far and I hope rather I know it'll continue. Now I do listen to all but today I have the wisdom to figure out what to imbibe and what to consider as a joke and laugh at.

       It's a journey from being a intelligent person to being a smart ass without losing the intelligence (more important without losing your real identity).

Eyes of beholders see perception not reflection

       Any form of art can't be judged or graded. It's funny when people discuss how good or bad any artistic piece of work or performance is. I just don't get it how does one grade it; what are the parameters?

       From where I see when an Artist judges his/her artform on the basis of others opinions, somewhere down the line they insult their own passion for their work. One should do what they want, the way they want with utmost passion irrespective of what anyone feels about it. The quality of work has nothing to do with the audiences’ likes or dislikes; who are the audiences to judge an artform? Who gave them the right? What makes them capable of giving the verdict? They offcourse have a right to express their opinions but it’s foolish to take that as the final verdict.

       Cheers to all the artists and creative people who fill their hearts, their lives and the world with such beauty; can't imagine a world without creativity, everything would be so clinical without you beautiful beautiful minds
