3.2.13

Of Proverbs....

Strike the iron when hot
Early bird catching the worm? 
If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.
A stitch in time saves nine
We have all heard our parents, grandparents, teachers, philosophers and poets beat these proverbs in our system while we are young. And we all feel oh yeah the world is a beautiful place where everything is just and fair and all we have to do is be ourselves. And then it happens! A rude shock! Reason: Not everybody takes the parents, grandparents, teachers and alike seriously. I am not saying we should not. We should and we must. But sometimes we need to see for ourselves. We need to make our own mistakes.We need to learn our own lessons and till the point we dont, we would keep on thinking all is hunky dory. Because, 'Experience is Education.' See I came up with a new proverb which I would tell my grandchildren :P It does not matter how much you plan because you dont know how your day is going to turn out. So plan, but if it does not work out somehow, smile and say, 'Experience'

Agree with ur post. We have been tought things like take efforts n you will get results. If you do good, good will happen to you. But after we land in real world, we realise that these things are not exactly true. Rather than just hard work, other things like soft skills play equally important role, which we never focussed on.
