As full as it gets...

I've had enough with all the fun and crazy posts, top 10 lists, book reviews, jokes on north and south people...

For once in my life, let me write a thoughtful serious post.

If I ask you, whats the most important quality any1 should have??..what would you say?? Talent..Dedication...Self-confidence..what else you got?....Strategic thinking, take it easy attitude, communication skills...OK...All of 'em are seriously award winning answers.

Volumes have been written about each of them. 1000's of athletes talk about them...Every mother teaches them to her child...

But if you ask me, the winner of all is not even in the list. Infact I see its core opposite mentioned--> Take it easy attitude. No, do not take things easily. Let go of the chill..cool dude attitude. That's all juvenile. Every time you fail to do something, be very hard on yourself. Be the greatest critic of yourself. Now now...I see a big frown on that face. Lemme try and remove that.

Imagine you're making a presentation or studying for a final or even better, you're going to propose a girl today. And you have screwed it up...Either you crumbled under the pressure or it was just pure bad luck. But you have screwed it up big time. Now, instead of letting it go with the Take-it-easy, we ll see next time, it was just bad luck mind-set, let the truth hit you. Have the courage to face it. You have lost, you are a loser today, Anyone could have done it but you didn't. Probably you're the only guy in the history of the world, who screwed up such an easy presentation, flunked such an easy subject or couldn't tell her your feelings. Its possible. Let your heart ache with the pain, go crazy, starve...whatever you do. please do not let it go without feeling the hurt.

Don't think I am a crazy idiot. People who do the above after a loss come out in flying colors in the long term. There have been incidents, where people just did something just because they respect the critic inside them. They know how much pain its gonna cause them if they don't do that. Let it be anything, from as simple as getting up early in the morning to workout to as complex a science as expressing love. I call this quality as Killing Yourself Technique. Out of experience you get to know things like these. As crazy as it may seem, it works for me and a few friends that I know.

So, whenever you see people doing stuff that you cant(not wont) do even if your life depended on it, then be sure that he/she has got KYS.
