A: How are things?
B: hmm... it's all blank and dark for me right now... I am struggling to get some clarity of what i want to do, and what i can do...
A: sometimes... it is better to do what we can do... *I mean safe...
B: of course, yes. But, what if it's not exciting?
A: *U don't have an option... but you can give it a try with the other option in parallel... if it doesn't clash...
B: That's true, there is no other option. I think i need to do more brainstorming.
A: yeah... so... we have to do something to feed ourselves...
B: WHAT'S THE POINT is my frequent self-question...
A: I know... that is mine also... but I always avoid it... 'cos there is no answer...
B: hope we didn't become too senile for this age! :-(
A: hmm... i guess... if we convince ourselves... that this is what we wanted to do... at least for limited period of time... and keep the remaining period... open... and start giving real ourselves... it should work fine..
B: agreed :-)
B: i can see that, we have to organise our thoughts and dreams as beautifully as a cleanly organized house, otherwise it's just a mess!
A: It is... I agree with you... 100%
A: hmm.. only thing is.. we should be ready to take failure..
B: that's true. just a random question... is there a failure or success concept for LIFE, in general?
A: I'm giving myself... "more than 10% success..." as the base line... :) I'm happy to fail 89.999% for the 10% success...
B: I like it :-) Good day ahead!
A: You too :-)
PS: this is a conversation between two friends... almost in same phase of life and thinking about what's going on!

good one to read early mng.. esp ..
"I'm happy to fail 89.999% for the 10% success..."
and
"if we convince ourselves... that this is what we wanted to do... at least for limited period of time... and keep the remaining period... open... and start giving real ourselves... it should work fine.."
@aarthi: thanks a lot. Exactly these two statements are what made me put this conversation in my blog. I think you must have already guessed who that A is :-)
Interesting conversation!
It's not a matter of want vs. can; it's only a mstter of want vs. when. 'What do I want to do and when can I do it?'
You wonder "WHAT'S THE POINT"? There doesn't have to be a point always - live in the moment, live for the moment; everything always adds up in the end :-)
@lavanya: You are right! May be one should not worry about WHAT'S THE POINT and workout what's immediate.
Gopal... I thought I guessed "B" rightly. Now got confused. Who are the A and B's?
