A Common GOAL

Looking back to this year i see some questions like,
What was your new year resolution ? & Were you able to achieve that ? blah blah..
Do you even remember you had a new year resolution, which you had decided upon and forgot the very next day of the year..

If nothing of these, then you sure are a person who will achieve Greatness!

Last week i had been to Amchi Mumbai. While i was on a visit to this amazing city, i saw people
( horde of people ) moving at quite a brisk rate from one place to another.
I could not see, even an iota of them lingering around, which made me think about the way WE Humans are going about things.
Everybody ( a human being ) has a common goal, maybe a short term or otherwise, may be the one he has decided or otherwise, but he sure has one.

What about Human Beings as one ? what about Earth ?
WE never ever seem to have a COMMON GOAL for ALL OF US .
We DO have GOALS :
1. at individual levels
2. at group levels ( company / firm )
3. at family levels
and so on..

WHAT ABOUT COMMON OBJECTIVEs for MANKIND ?
Where are we heading ? Do we have a focussed objectives for development of technology / environment ?
Even if we do have. During everyday work what we tend to see is short term and not the wider picture that we all are a part of .

Is a person REALLY great ?

"The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who cannot read them."
- Mark Twain (1835-1910)


Does a person become great because he is destined to be ? Does a person's ability make him reach his greatness ?
OR
Is it the events in his/her life that make him so ?

I have more or less been seeing people achieving greatness because the events made them so, the surroundings in which they grew up were conducive for becoming so.

Recently, i read Biography of Indira Gandi by Pupul Jaykar, and am reading General Mckinshaw's autobiography.
What is it that makes a great person / an icon ?
As in cricket they say, the timing needs to be perfect to hit the ball !

Is it all the timing and the up bringing of the person that matters ?

All that matters is " Being at the right place at the right time !"

Engineering - Is It really so ?

huh !

So finally after giving the final semester exams for my Bachelor of Engineering Degree
i was forced to give a serious thought of my being QUALIFIED as an ENGINEER.

SCOTT ADAMS in The Dilbert Principle ( Collins )
" Normal people believe that if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Engineers believe that if it ain't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet. "

How true (?)
Quite true.. atleast giving the excuse that, its not complete yet is quite easy then..

I Still Dream of Jeanie
