I cannot believe, people actually believe in all this, and actually follow such stuff. Why do I think this way? lemme see...
Ok, take the Backstreet Boys. When I was 10-11 years old, I used to love their music. They were the most popular band at one time... Say, at that time suppose I had made a plan to listen to their music everyday till I was 20 years old... If I had done such a thing.. then there were two situations that were possible : If I was a person who thought a plan was planned to be followed, then, even today I'd be listening to "Backstreet Boys" and whatever. On the other hand, if I was to be a person who believed that plans were just planned for the sake of it.. then I wouldn't be here writing this, and you wouldn't be here reading this.
Now, if I was to be the person who believed a plan is planned to be followed there are two situations that can arise: Either I'm the only thing on earth that doesn't evolve or I can evolve and change everyday, every minute, the way people are meant to change. Again 2 situations evolve:
If I were to be the first person, then no problem-o, I'll be happy and satisfied till the day I die listening to "Backstreet's back... allright", let alone till 20 only. On the other hand, if I were to be a human being, then with every day, my taste in music would change. And say, about an year later, if I liked Westlife better, I'd still have to listen to Backstreet Boys, because that was the plan.
This would lead to two things : Either I could show a little smartness and change the plan, or I could be dumb and follow it to the last letter. From here, there are again 2 situations that could arise: If I was to follow the first course of action, I'll be happy singing Westlife songs when I wanted to sing Westlife songs... but then, that would mean I was not following the plan. And if I were to stick to the plan and keep singing Backstreet's Back till I were to turn 20, I'd be unhappy and bored.
This could lead to two things: If according to the larger plan(the plan whose planner is God) I was to die when I was 13, I'd die listening to Backstreet and not Westlife.. hence, I'd die unhappy. On the other hand, if I followed the first course of action, I'd die happy...
If you find yourself in the second situation, then I'm contradicting my assumption that I think plans are planned to be followed, which proves that I believe plans are palnned to not be followed. But then again, it means that I shouldn't be writing this at all and you wouldn't be getting ready to pull your hair..... So, this is all a load of crap.
Plans are meant to be followed. But when it comes to life, no amount of planning can make you happy or satisfied. It's like a person making a speech. Those who plan each statement and each paragraph can never be good speakers. A speaker has to gauge the audience reaction and accordingly make his next statement effective enough to hold them captive. If the speaker were to just go on and on and on without realising that his audience was either snoring or yawning, his purpose wouldn' t be served.
It's the same way with you and your life. You change everyday, and so do I. So, we have to keep changing our way of doing things, the things that we are doing itself, according to the way our thinking changes.
Don't waste your life in planning what you want to do. A rough sketch showing you what you want to achieve that day, is all you need to help make you happy. Because a rough sketch can be edited while a plan plan, cannot.

well...planning never did anyone harm but excessive planning does no good!
see, this is how it works...in this thing we call life nothing is permanent but change. and planning,normally, can be done only if things or circumstances didn't change. and we all know that THAT never happens.
i agree with u. i loved the backstreet boys(and can't believe i did but what did i know then!?!?!) i was ignorant to the world outside.i thought that the world hd only one band being the backstreet boys..i dont know how this has any relevance to the topic at hand but since u mentioned it i thought id add on.
but yeah on the whole, if you plan too much and if you think things will go according to that course, get ready to get A ROYAL KICKING IN THE BIG FAT REAR!!
i dont believe in planning. a lil bit is fine but too much alwayz lead to failure (In my case)but in my case i never planned to listen to BSB the rest of my life
u know better things
:D
agree with u baani...planning lead to failure..but who cares!?!? lotta things come later on that make up for it
si` si`
yea but then who teaches the parents tht PLANNING out only leads to FAILURE
blindly wandered about on the net an ended up getting fed a whole lot of your blog.
(suku's link actually)
anyway, i did what i always do when i see a blog with more than ten lines.
i read the first and last two.
and i MUST say you've done a pretty darned good thing about not choosing to listen to the backstreet boys till you were twenty.
and i AM assuming this post is all about just that one thing.
:D
hey zach... u shud read what's in between the first two and the last two lines... i usually don't recommend it, especially on my blog and abt one of my posts... but this is gauranteed to drive you crazy..
..thanx for passing by!
don't get bogged down by your own plan. In fact, you can chart your entire life and the next day win a lottery and traipse off to Paris or the opposite could happen your sister could get a serious disease and you'd have to fund her medication.
I think you should have a plan, but you shouldn't be scared or worried about changing it even the wee bit or entirely. Its all in your mind.
"Live like there's no tomorrow, plan like you have forever"
Sometimes my body just wanders off. Dear me where are my pancakes.. you still havent given me pancakes.
yes. i get your drift.
and you DO drift heavy. it somewhat cured my cold. i'm still in a state of absolute shock.
but i must admit. that was some logical reasoning to be proud of. you'd make plato blush.
and to my pancake loving head (which also wanders around quite a lot (which makes it kind of hard to follow because it keeps getting into trouble and other things (open doors and boxes among the OTHER things))) : noone was home for a few days so there would've been no chance in HELL you'd get them this trip. maybe in june.
Guess I'l have to saunter over in March... well cheapened glass is no substitute for ox leather and a thousand fresh lilies do assault the senses with their smell of insect laden excess.. howeverpancakes i shall have even if my body says no.
thanks zach and zach's talking head...! you (both??) made my day!
And amelie,welcome back to the world of the living!!.. 'just what i prescribed : a rough sketch is all you need..
thanx for coming by!
My god, there's enough nonsense in sense value in this post for it to be something from my blog! Except, however, that I don't listen to Backstreet Boys OR Westlife, and I suggest everyone should listen to Led Zeppelin because that is better than all that nonsense. But of course, everyone has their own opinions, and my opinion is that you should listen to Led Zeppelin and not Westlife or else you are a dumass.
Beautiful opinion, that.
Plans have failed me quite often in the past. Sometimes my results are so far from what I expected that I wonder what the point of planning anything was in the first place.
Kaushik
oi
"beautiful opinion" ???? urs ke mine??
And i agree with not listening to either and listening to Zeppelin instead.. which is why towards the end of the "logical nonsense" i say "this is all a load of crap"...
:D
U mean this post is good?
Lol, not a great fan of LedZep meself, but against boy bands?! Hell yeah!
