Goals & Responsibilities
Telugu February 29th, 2008I have heard many 'accomplished' people mentioning proudly about their achievements in life - be it intellectual, social or any other. In general being very happy talking about those accomplishments, these people also do not forget expressing their regrets. Regrets like "I had to struggle so hard to come to this position, so had worked day and night, in the process unfortunately could not spend much needed time with the family". They also invariably thank spouses for their understanding nature, and for being patient throught out their life, so that they can better focus and achieve their goals.
That's escapism at its best! You neglect your duties intentionally and try to compensate for all that with few words of regret. Is that what you want to be? My friend, life is all about balancing - you come to this world not only to achieve certain goals, but also to perform your duties first. You are a responsible citizen, a caring spouse, a father/mother, a son/daughter, and you have various roles in the society. If every one in this world ignores one's social responsibilites so as to better concentrate on achieving goals, the world would have been a hell to live in. Try to understand - the satisfaction of being publicly recognised for some great achievements is nothing compared to the inner satisfaction of being a balanced person.
Duties first, Goals next.
