MY BEST FRIEND
I always have big disappointments because I always dream big. I am ready to extend both my hands to embrace such displeasures. I can welcome adversity as much as I do beatitude � why � The answer is because of the training rendered and experience gained. What my schooling and years at college failed to illuminate, what my parents, relatives, teachers and friends forgot to divulge - adversity educated me. Life itself is a great teacher and adversity is the best, I would dare say so.
Life is like the Internet. It has everything at your disposal. It is you that make decisions to pick what you want. What you accomplish is what you have opted for. Focus on the positives and the useful experiences gained out of misfortunes rather than brooding over things already occurred. Gaze at the sun and not the shadows.
Spot The Spurious!
A few years back, someone told me I was na�ve. That someone is one amid a very elite group that impressed me for more than one reason. In certain issues, I admit with all my heart, Yes, I am na�ve. It is hard to believe hardly you can believe people. It is hard to find true friendship � true love � now an oxymoron. Don�t come to any conclusions here. I have never in my life felt love for any girl. If I find someone attractive on the looks, say with a cherubic face or a curvaceous body, I accost them and experience BIG disappointment as I expect some innate intelligence in addition to beauty, I want both in right proportions.
It is someone you know for long is the one who hates to stomach your accomplishments. It is someone who you think is diaphanous and sincere has many untold secrets. It is hard to find genuineness. Of course, there are always exceptions and examples for everything� True, but in the land of the naked, the man possessing a kerchief to cover his genitals is the odd man out. So don�t look for authenticity, otherwise you would be tagged as na�ve.
Adversity has been so educative albeit it gave innumerable embarrassing experiences.
Have you ever wondered why someone says that you are his/her best friend, as he/she scarcely knows you? Put a check on your friends. Never trust anyone and treat anyone as a friend, I mean in the real sense, unless you know him/her from your childhood. Don�t try to get too close to anyone too soon and don�t allow anyone to do so. Try to judge people. I know it is not a good idea to judge a person straightaway. Mother Teresa once pointed out �if you start to judge people you will not have the time to love them�. But still. Don�t count on just words, as words would have come from one�s mouth and not from the heart.
Face Fate
People would only see the results and rate you. They would measure you not based on what you are capable of but on what you have achieved. Take criticisms in a composed manner. Analyze if you really have those blemishes pointed out in criticisms and try to correct and do not argue as, I feel, argument is a sign of venting excuses for your incapability. No one is perfect my friend � you and I are no exceptions. Just retort to criticisms with better results in the future and not by inveighs.
Face reality, face the odds and work towards your progress.

After my college was over in the mid of 2000, I had the chance to see the real world full of troubles and I had a testing time from then on. It has been almost three years. Still facing tough phase ahead. But I feel Adversity has been my best friend teaching me the essentials of life and bettering me in every possible way everyday. . There is no big joy in achieving things easily, what you get in life should be what you deserve. And in life it is your character that takes you the distance and makes you deserving. Hardships tune your personality and make you a better fighter, strong and brave person. Now I take life as it comes with bigger dreams and aims, as I am not afraid of misfortunes, I know and I have understood it is not the silent sea that produces a skilled mariner.
