3 Idiots

Three Idiots

I really have to thank my friend Hazel for recommending this movie to me. It's a really REALLY good movie to watch. It's in Hindi but there are subtitles and it's adventurous, touching and most importantly funny. :) Usually movies which have all these factors have a really messy plot, or a plot which doesn't seem realistic. This movie however, has a really touching plot and it makes sense! Everything is well explained and you're not left wondering for too long, just long enough for you to keep watching! :) So if you really want to watch a movie at home do catch: 3 Idiots.

I won't be a spoiler by talking about the story or anything. Just going to bring out a few key points that I learnt. Yes, the movie has some life morals in it too :)

Some things I learnt from the movie:

Don't chase success, Let success chase you

I've read so many motivational books saying: "Life is a race" and if you don't run fast enough, you'd get trampled upon. Really? So you're going to conform to society's rat race? Yes I admit, I'm part of this race, always working to get good grades, good scores, another medal, another pay check, whatever. But I always ensure one thing when i'm doing what I do. I enjoy it. 

I enjoy what I do. Take shooting for example. If I didn't enjoy it, I would've quit years ago. I mean, shooting doesn't benefit your body like other sports! You don't become muscular or more fit. Contrary to popular belief, you don't get miraculous eye sight. But I enjoy it, there's that passion in every shot. Every time I lift that gun, the belief flows through me, that says: "You can do this".

There was a brief period of time when I strayed away from this self belief. I was winning competitions and I started to chase success instead of excellence. There's a difference. Chasing success is just wanting to achieve that end glory and you'd do anything to get it. An example is how a lot of students these days just keep memorizing facts and they don't bother actually learning and understanding what they're reading!

So you there! Yes YOU! What have you been doing with your life? Just chasing after success? That's like trying to satisfy your hunger by swallowing your saliva. It ain't gonna work. Make a change! Work on enjoying your process, ENJOY THE JOURNEY TO SUCCESS, PURSUE EXCELLENCE

All is well 

Recently, I uploaded a picture on instagram which talked about Peace. Here's the pic:

When life gets hectic, when things don't go according to plan, when you're just so busy that breathing seems like a chore...tell your heart: "All is well".

There is no better state of mind to do things effectively than a calm one. The best part is, when you have a calm mind, you can think clearly and you'll be able to do things more efficiently and enjoy yourself more!

So all my readers! Yes you there, (even if you're just sitting behind your computer dozing off!!!) Tell yourself: "ALL IS WELL"! Even if it's a whisper, it'll work! :) 

Friendship

In the movie, these '3 idiots' aren't stupid people their 3 really good friends, who'll do absolutely crazy things for each other. Do you have a group of 'idiots' in your life? You don't need many, just a few. Who'll be there by you. Who'll be like a bro/sis and stick by you in your times of trouble and help you become a better person! It's really hard finding these kind of friends. Readers have asked me on "how to make friends" or "how to enter a clique", and yes, i admit, it isn't easy. Always remember this: If you want REAL friends, don't close up to people immediately. Talk to people, meet people, find out what they're like. A simple smile or a "hi" can start a conversation. Try it. Also, be honest. No point being 2 faced to people and expect them to be honest with you. Be yourself. Your REAL friends will like YOU for who YOU are :) and if there's anything that needs improving, they won't push you away or let you suffer alone. They'll work together with you to make YOU a better person :)

I hope this post helps! But the thing that will help you most is to watch that movie (3 idiots) yourself :) That way, you can be inspired and motivated the way I was! :) And you never know, you may learn something more! 

Ok as usual, I coloured the important bits too!
