Lead,follow,Change,timing??

October 17, 2007

Well, after I started blogging I thought for a while how the internet and wordpress blog allowed us to follow a ‘great’ path. Blogging enabled most of the people not only ‘to express’ but also to garner ‘followers’ or ‘folks who concur’ with the blogger’s views/expressions. To follow or trace you may need a path..and generally that is set by someone who can be called a leader. Statistics as a mathematical subject explains why the numbers , sometimes, influence a follower’s decision to ‘follow’. Most often than not, the numbers indicate that there has been a large following or appreciation or acceptance for a particular topic/subject/activity/theory/thing and more and more people try to taste that and either decide to continue liking that or take another direction by following another similar thing or create something on their own. If we go back to pre-internet era, the way the ‘leader’ influenced, of course with the help of that days technologies,beliefs,value system,economy etc., the strategies were very different and the numbers were also not that huge when you compute the followers ( i must double check the facts before I confirm the statement). As of today, with the technological innovations, value systems, beliefs, a leader is born every minute. Most of the people wants something ‘different’. So a change is ‘welcome’ for the people. This drives the decision_making_engine of a typical follower. … this influences the followers and new leaders .  Gone are the days when the  ‘change’ was not welcome.

Does it give any logic for the nature of ‘future followers’? Well, I speculate that when the ‘frequency’ of the changes become a hindrance or nuisance to have a steady ‘being’ then of course the ‘rate of change’ would be throttled!!??

Are you Happy?

October 13, 2007

I wonder how many people ever thought of just being happy ‘always’? In my opinion, it is one of the most difficult things to achieve. Happiness is very personal. It cannot be compared to any other emotional feeling or activity of either self or another person. Happiness resides very close to ‘positive’ thinking (in fact at the root of it) if one tries to locate it!! At times you may have everything you wished for but happiness. At times, you may have just simple happiness but nothing else!!If one tries to get the real statistics of how many folks are ‘happy’ at the moment all over the world, the number you would see, may be astonishingly low. A person in financial difficulties can experience the happiness, only if (s)he understands what the real happiness is and where it is available. A person with ill-health can also feel happy only if (s)he knows what the real happiness is and whether (s)he has it irrespective of ill-health. One might plan to get ‘rich’ and can have various paths to get the riches (s)he planned…but if (s)he lacks the skill to retain the happiness, which is highly fluid in nature, (s)he would end up chasing ( or longing for ) it forever. Being Happy is very Easy. Did I say it ‘is’ difficult earlier?. No matter what the person does for the living, no matter what the person’s health condition is, no matter where the person is currently living, the happiness is always with the person…and within the person. It can be found if you can spot it!! The trick,to retain the happiness you already possess, is constantly changing or ever-changing and the best part the trick expects each of us to understand is ….happiness is like air we breathe …and the sleep one enjoys. It is all over …be happy always and add a comment how you could do ‘that’ first time and how you could repeat ‘that’ …’being happy’ every time :)

I am feeling Happy!!
