“Follow your Heart”, Do we really do that?

I often hear this statement “Follow your Heart” from many people around. Often mentors, teachers and friends tell us to do this. We can read stories guiding people that they should do things according to what they feel is right. But do we really do that? Do we even spend a single day as per our own choice? We go to school, as we are expected to go to school. We take up a job, as we are expected to take one. We marry, as we are expected to marry till some defined age or so. What do we do with our choice? AND In case you dare to actually “Follow your Heart”… Be ready to become a laughter element for the society. This is why no one dares to “Follow their Heart”.

I stated the honest opinion saying that “I personally don’t like advertisements showing up more of glamour and less of product value and importance and so on”. Probably this was like a criticism for the ad agency (of course I would not take

What Are We Running For?

I had always been dedicated to my work. And so, most of the time I was made responsible for any new task that came in our office. No doubts I handled everything perfectly well. Until a new person joined claimed that she can do the entire task that I do, in comparatively lesser time. This was not what I was expecting to happen. All this made me so irritated that I decided to challenge her and challenge myself. I decided to quicken my speed and do things better than she tried to do. Each day passing by, my speed improved. Yes, now even I could manage tasks in so much lesser time. I felt satisfied looking at my better and her average performance. This went on for more than a year and I kept on succeeding over her. After exactly 1 year, my company hired a new person similar to my profile. And now he claimed that he can perform better than me. This was again heights for me. I decided to give it back. And again start my race. But at the end of the day, when I reached bac
