The 10 Mins Life

"You can take 10mins of your time to do ........" fill in the blank with anything someone else wants to improve in your life.

It might be the priest saying "You can surely give 10mins of your time for God", The Yoga instructor saying "10mins of these assans a day you will live a healthy life", Your Girl-Friend telling you "Can't you spend 10mins talking to me?", Your best friend "Dude, you can surely take 10mins to hit the Gym." , Your professor saying "You should read your lessons everyday for 10mins atleast", Or maybe your Boss "This work will take only 10mins of your time"

All these 10mins in the end I feel is more than the God given 24hours in a day, What say?

The main problem with this "10 Mins life" idea is that these things these well-wishers would want us to do might be a 10min job, but the stuff to do the "10 mins stuff" properly is not 10mins. 

Take an e.g

Girl-Friends asks you to spend 10 mins with her, do you really thing it will be only 10mins??

Boss asks you to do a 10min job, but the time to end your current work, start the 10min one and do it properly goes for more than 10mins.

Hit the gym for 10mins?? Joking, hello it takes 10mins to go till the gym.

Seriously people 10min life doesn't work, Its like trying to live your life in fast-forward all the time. Stop the 10mins life, Live life slow, enjoy each moment, Life's not a race my friends.

Spend an hour with your girl-friend and don't hit the gym, if she really loves you she would like you spending time with her and won't mind you fat (P.S if you really want to lose weight, life her up, multiple times :P)

"Its better to spend time doing what you love rather than doing what others want you to do",

I am sure everyone will agree to this statement.

But the question now is I am advising everyone, can I follow my own advice?

I fail at all new-years resolution anyway so this time me taking a Christmas resolution to not hurry through life and enjoy life to the whole.

Merry Christmas Everyone

What are my Goals in Life???

Hey, Where do you see yourself 5 years from now? What are you aiming for in life? What are your goals in life?
We have all heard these questions; this and many variations of these are one of the staple questions in any interview, a Date, when you meet some one new.

Somehow in the last couple of weeks I have been asked one of these questions a couple of times, and every time I never really had a convincing answer to give, The answer didn't even sound right to me, I wonder how it felt to the person who heard it.

When we were kids grown ups always asked us, "Beta, What do you want to be when you grew up?" and we would give some silly answers from Actor to Doctor to an Engineer (even when we didn't know what an engineer did), and these grown up just smiled, gave some advice or cracked some joke.

Now if someone asks you this question, what can you say? I am already an engineer, i.e. I got my B.E degree, but to tell the truth I don't feel I have any more knowledge in me that a 12th pass kid.

Seriously I don't know where I want to be after 5 years. In a good position perhaps, earning good to enjoy life, giving orders rather than taking them and most of all I want to be doing something that I enjoy doing. But what is that position? what is that job? how do I reach there? I have no answers to that question.

I feel as if I am a ship, flowing with the water currents, running with the engine on Low power, If the water currents are flowing right, I turn right to go with the current, IF I see something on the portside, I turn my rudder to the left still with the engine on low power, If I really want to go there I might push it to medium power, but never really to full power, IF I see the current is too strong, I give up.

The thing is I really don't know where I want to go, so how do you expect me to push to full power to some destination I really don't know if I want to go there.

Someone please help me, how do I answer this question the next time I am asked, and not come our looking like a fool?
