“If the desire to write is not accompanied by actual writing, then the desire must be not to write.” - Hugh Prather
One writer who inspired me to write was "Hugh Prather". I will never forget his quote.
The day I read this quote, it changed my life. I started carrying a small LIC diary and started jotting down my thoughts and my little learnings from life.
For several years I vented, I released, I enjoyed, when I wrote. It helped me observe, reflect, synthesize and appreciate little things and situations around me. Perspectives were different. I disagreed, I opposed, I denied, I rebelled....thorugh my writings. It helped me grow, mature and appreciate others perspectives
Soon, I realised, reading is good, but writing is better. It helps you reflect, introspect and appreciate your thoughts. Thoughts that come to you are your own. You need 'not' follow a writer's thought, like the way you do when you read.
Here is the first edition of ... My Experiences, My Thoughts, My Expressions, My Notes.
It is amazing when I realize that : Even today, I don't 'even' know what I don't know..until some one tells me about it.
Kids have it too easy these days , it took years of perseverence to see Pride and Happiness in my father's eyes...
Pay attention to 'attention'. Life is many small variations in attention over time
Life is really just different types of feelings; even when you think you are in a period when you’re not feeling anything, you really, are feeling something. "Feelings" are "Thoughts" that you cannot identify.
Once you know what is causing an emotion, its no longer an emotion - It is a "thought"
Knowledge Talks....Wisdom Listens
Some people just talk so much that..they forget to use their brain
Small hunches when incubated ...become great ideas. Don't dismiss them.
Inspite the Cost of Living...we will Die for Living
"What you do" is not important, but How you do "What you do" is what matters..
Remember your "thoughts" hidden deep inside you, at the very core of your being, is most important...keep it sharpened like you keep the "lead" of a pencil
