Nobody has achieved Mastery

 




"Nobody has achieved mastery. 

I, at least, am very far from it. 

But that is exactly the joy of it. 

To keep working towards chasing that goal. 

Starting from zero again and again, trusting the process, 

and then feeling that exhilarating joy when 

the pieces of the puzzle fit together 

and the audience roars 

with laughter again" 


Said @Papa CJ in reply to my comment on his post. 

And just like that, some golden wisdom nuggets 

were dropped in a LinkedIn conversation. 


All through August, I was writing about 

Myths around Life & Career Transformation. 

One myth: Transformation is a destination. 

The reality instead is that it is a Journey 

and hopefully, a never ending Journey. 


To look at it in another way, 

Transformation is a series of 

dynamic moving goal-posts that 

we keep creating and moving as we

keep achieving our goals along the way. 


To become the best version of yourself

is a continuous journey of discovering 

what the new best version of yourself is. 

Hence, the moving goal post and journey.

    It is an old joke that the difference in the first class and second class of the Mumbai local trains is that people in first class use deodorants and hence you are exempted from the smelly underarms while travelling. The mute point being; both class of travel experience a passenger overload during the peak hours and you are almost equally squeezed and pushed around in both. Of course, the seats in First Class are cushioned (unlike the hard seats of second class) but then that would make a difference only if you get to sit (which would be a likely probability only if you get into the train from the station it originates). My father holds a first class pass from Churchgate to Andheri (since past 7 years, ever since we moved to Andheri). He often travels by Second class in the evening. Strange, isn't it? This is why he does it … In the First class, there is an unwritten rule that on the seat, only the designated number of people (which is 3) will sit. No sq...

Tongue Twister - V for Vendetta

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V." - V for Vendetta
