Dear Girish,
As always - you speak very clearly (atleast as of your conviction) and
boldly - though it is sometimes not needed. I do not know what prompted
you on this clear, bold and sudden expression of your point / view.
As always - all of you are afraid of being :
- loser (or not being a winner)
- fear (of losing things which are with you - to someone else)
- indian people (generally) and indian companies
- more of materialistic only
MAYBE I am COMPLETELY WRONG, I admit.
There is nothing wrong being / living till your last breath as a loser. It
is a relative term as to the time of relation, I too have seen many of my
school mates were a sorry loser - who have failed to clear even simple
exams, failed 10th / 12th / graduation. But, after seeing them after 15
years - some of them have become top class - at least in terms of being a
successful person - in your terms - not afraid of someone stealing their
bread / not afraid of working with some of the top class companies (right
from IBM to TVS to simple Saravana Bhavan vendor etc).
Fear - of losing things : you will always lose things (in substitution -
say play time to study time etc) when you are not sure of getting to be
where you want to be. After all FEAR makes you to look for alternatives
(the degree of appropriateness of the solution will depend on more of your
Manam / Buddhi / Chinda & Agna), which you will not get when you are too
confident. May be you will get a better outcome if you have still operated
when you were still under fear. Not getting bogged down by Fear is the only
answer.
Indian People & Companies : First of all in my opinion - all companies /
Org etc - is only as good as its staff. If Indian companies are bad, then
the Indian staff are bad. Is any other countries people are better than
Indian ??? Each country has always had a very very bad phase - which
happens primarily because of their citizens. Do not consider IPL /
Congress / and other issues which plague India right now.
Materilism : I think you know more about this than others to tell you, you
were always a good dasa of lord Muruga !!!. Think about it, and if
something needs to change your / my view please let me know.
I think the time one lives is always the best time (to live / to prosper),
since, when we die, we cannot do anything - being a loser / successful
person.
The above are my views.
with warm regards

Dear Girish,
There is some truth in what you said.
However, I disagree with you on many points.
1. Women: If you really think that women are "weak", then you need to
revise your thinking, my friend.
2. Fear: Courage is not the absence of fear. It is functioning, despite
fear.
3. Money: Let's say that you succeed, and become the most
knowledgable, wealthiest person in the world. Yet, you have left
behind friendship. Is that really a kind of success worth having? You
turn into King Midas. You can't trust a simple smile. You can't hold
an extended handshake of friendship.
Sorry, but I don't want to be this kind of macho superman.
I would rather be a weak loser, and have friends.
The whole point of knowledge is happiness, not money, or even knowledge
itself.
Cheers,
- Ashwin.
