There are crossroads when you don't seem to understand which way to go. Which one to leave, which one to follow. There are people around you who are moving in every direction. And they have positives to speak about the way they follow, and negatives for the others. For each one, the path they tread along, is the best. Not that they are wrong. They are right...but in their own way.
For the last few days, I was kept so busy by activities around me that I even used to fail to note if the hall canteen (where I am often found ideally) is open or not. Suddenly, I was in everything. And at each place, I had someone over me to answer to. Each one wanted his job to be done, no matter how stressed out I was, no matter if the work assigned to me by others is done or not, no matter if my priorities get over-ruled by the work being given to me.
And, stressed I was. My acads evidently suffered (something which did not bother any of those who gave me all that work). My health deteriorated (again something which had no relevance to the same people who made sure that I was over-burdened with work).
They said, "These things build up PERSONALITY. They give you a sense of time management"
huh!!
All they wanted was that the event which they were working for, should be a success. Nothing else mattered. Not me at least.
Thanks to di....she helped me out when I needed sincere advise. When I was feeling lowly after getting reprimanded for the umpteenth time (for shirking work, as they said) inspite of me slogging my ass the whole day to get the job done, she comforted me. And golden were here words. Just the right thing. Here I quote what she said exactly -
On basis of what di said, I prepared a flowchart. This I believe, is more than sufficient to summarize a great deal. I dedicate this to all those who are unable to decide at any point of time what they should pursue, and what they should leave. It is very important to realize what our priorities are - just as di said. It might seem to be very simple, too crisp; but then this is what you could resort to at all times, and the result would be for you to see.
She further said :
Luckily, I have a di like this who is not only sensible, but also caring and loving. We never met. It is only Orkut which connects us. But still, I feel she is near me. She cares about the guy to whom she is talking even if he is only just-another-boy she found wasting his time on Orkut. Thanks di....thanks a lot.
And you, yeah you....are you still reading the blog. Leave this, and go for the flowchart. Enjoy LIFE !!!

Since she wrote this thing on Orkut, hence this form. But I guess, it is good enough to send the message across.
takin part in activities is grt....cause it helps u 2 develop al parts of ur personbality.... but prioritise them firstly...secondly take part in activities which u lyk or which interest u rather than takin part in al cause 1 or other fren is doin so....thirdly the most imp...figure out wht u want @ end of ur iit.....wer u wanna b or wer u wnt it 2 take u...once u figure tht out....keep ur goal in sight n don't get sidelined by al other things..... in short know wht u wnt....but njoi things while not losin sight of ur destination...detour once in a way r good fun....but they should not get u lost!!!

hey pls tc of urself...n whn in doubt ...or confusion or so...pls sk ppl or frens or teachers etc....who u think wud make sense...but sensible ones...n don't b rash....this time is the best time of lyf but if not dealt wit in rite way can bcum....worst time 2!!! so njoi...but don't think its end of world n do unnecessary stupidities!!!!She made a very good point here. Ask people, friends or teachers - who you think would make sense, but SENSIBLE ones. Not anyone is the right person to ask for a suggestion only because he or she is a senior. The person you talk to should be sensible.
Luckily, I have a di like this who is not only sensible, but also caring and loving. We never met. It is only Orkut which connects us. But still, I feel she is near me.

went to the flowchart.. very interesting, but a very core thing si missing.. 'how do u prirotize?' and 'how do u decide what really makes u feel good to be alive?' this, i am sure wont ever be fit in a flow chart.. for searching for and pinning down to a goal is the very essence and objective of life.. The 'goal' shudnt begin or end with a 'main priority' be it being good at a selected profession or getting a good academic record... The goal should be a single minded, honest pursuit of satisfaction and joy. if u dont fake things up, sooner or later, u land up where u shud be... ws a grt read, and ws even better to know someone dealing with the crossroads in a wise way..
@gauri
point taken. but i feel that prioritizing should be based on just one criteria - "what does your inner-self ask you to do"....this way, even if u turn out to have taken a wrong decision, one should be satisfied that it was the result of his own decision. incase u listen to someone else and take decisions, if it turns out to be wrong, u would have nothing to do but rue...
what say!!!
I really agree with the fact that you should talk to only sensible people :)
