WHAT A WASTE!

         I don’t know much about you, I don’t know who you are, what clothes you wear, what food you eat or even why you are reading this. I do know one thing though, you are made of approximately 10 trillion cells. Not very exciting, is it? Well, here is one more; your brain is made of about 100 billion neurons. Yes, hundreds of billions, let’s just say you are a cellionaire. Maybe it still doesn’t mean anything now but what the implications of this number will surprise you.

         A single tiny cell in your body contains as many elements as 25 in trillions of units. Entrepreneurs do understand such an investment on one single entity is risky, unfeasible, in short not very a smart thing to do.

         You have computer in your body, a gadget that’s even more advanced than your cell phone to say the least. Cell phones are cool and smart; they do a whole bunch of chores in just a small box. Your brain is even more powerful; you could lose half your brain today and still be as smart. Your brain knows exactly what to do.

         So why won’t you believe it? Why won’t believe that you can’t make things happen? Let me guess…  Person A can do it better than me, Person B is a lot more efficient, Person C scored more than me and a whole trail of excuses. Comparison;  it’s one thing that we constantly do on a daily basis.  We compare marks, we rank schools, and we rate other people on a daily basis. It’s just in our nature to know the relative performance and sometimes it can be quite fun, but …

         We do know it’s not always fun.  It tends to paralyze our brains before we are aware of it. It tends to waste the myriad of cells the universe invested in us.  In no time the ‘monster’ will come creeping in. Competition is good, sometimes, if you want to break the world record of course. While you are at it, just remember that Albert Einstein didn’t leave a world record by being trying to be the smartest kid or by comparing his achievements with peers. History makers are not the ones who tried to beat everyone but those who challenged themselves. Success is as simple as finding your passion, working on it wholeheartedly and seeing through it no matter what. Am I being naive’? Not really. If you are trying to compare with others you will always be disappointed. There is always someone out there who will better at something than you. Be sure of that. Also be sure that you are different, there is no one in this world that is smart as you, as personable as you, as talented as you. That too is a fact. The truth you choose to believe is up to you. All I am saying is comparison won’t do you any good.

         I could go on forever about comparison but I would just blabber the same thing. It’s time to look into you, work on you, for you and do yourself good. Stop wasting the universe’s energy, some of us do care!
