What makes you different?

Without experiments, is life worth it.

I am an ordinary human being with the same body structure as you who are reading, you and I have the same material of what our bodies and brains are made up of.

Don’t go to the gym because it’s a fitness fad.

A govt. job could do it for me. Plus Money, plus security, plus prestige.

Agree?

Neither I’m Tesla, who got poor grades in school, nor I’ve grown to invent electric current that powers many electronic devices today. Nor I’m an entrepreneur who is the idea behind the Tesla cars.

Honestly, there’s nothing that makes ‘me’ different.

Don’t get a partner because you’re jealous of your friends.

To take out these experiments, accept the asymmetry of your emotions, your eccentricities, aspirations and thoughts for what they actually are. Instead of filtering it through the social system, recognize the difference and apply it in your life.

“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” - Lao Tzu

Tried everything. A well-paying corporate job, govt. exams. Nothing provided me with security. I didn’t have time to myself. Hustling was my name. Didn’t go to parties, travel or anything. Didn’t talk to friends.

Anxious to get a job, I chose to do what was socially recommended for me. So, I tried. Being a govt. servant. Failed. A Research Scholar. Didn’t make it. A Professor. Guess what?

Does wearing earbuds cause potential physical health problems as the dirty, bacteria laden slabs of wax get pushed up into the ear canal and can't come out? You tell me. I'm not a doctor or nuthin'.

Not ignoring emotions because they can be destructive. Not underestimating your aspirations because society calls them second-rate.

So, what actually makes us all different?

Don’t choose to be an engineer just because it pays well.

Experiences: What has happened to me? Have I led a normal life with two parents and two siblings? Yes. Breakups I’ve had. Friends I’ve made. School I have attended. Guides I’ve met. Places I’ve been.

What makes you YOU.

You know how all of this enlightenment came to me.

Atheists, there is a god up there in heaven and he loves you so much that he sent his son to die the worst death imaginable and then to turn into a zombie all to save you from sin. Why do you reject him?

P.S. What’s your idea of being different? Do you have a different point of view?

Even if that means disappointing your parents and teachers for some time, but believe you’ll eventually make them feel proud.

I experimented. A lot. And now I know I don't need more trials of this kind. I’m writing this today at just the right place from the comfort of my home while it rains outside. While a cold breeze rings music to my senses.

Being different is being a weirdo. And being okay about it.

What if he’d come outside?

Not because people show it off and you have to follow the lead.

What story do you have involving a public restroom?

Otherwise, thank you for reading. It was fun writing to you all. Hope it helped you in more ways than one.

Do anything and everything because you like it. You love it. Do the things that make you go crazy. Things you’d barter your breath for. Things that make your life a rainbow.

Yes, I was not at all happy.

Being different is being a mess, yet being okay with it.

If you’ve read this far, let me tell you one more thing.

Take my word. You won’t regret it.

Eli Lilly drug preserves lean mass in patients losing weight on Wegovy - STAT

He would have experienced the miracle called light. Maybe he got better food to eat. Then he got wounded. Then in search of balm, he travaled to the wilderness and found a party of rats, eaten to its heart’s content and danced the night out.

All of it would have been different, and this life would mean something, at least for him.

C’mon, it’s an opportunity to break the rules, stand out and become ONE of a kind.

NASA sounds alarm over massive planetary anomaly spreading worldwide traced to unknown forces beneath Earth’s crust - Glass Almanac

Everything has shaped me. Friends who gave me their pens and journals. Best friends I never made. Crush that made me write poems while he didn’t care. Romances I’ve missed. Opportunity to become an editor or a news correspondent I missed. I think all this has made me the writer I am.

Consider a rat who never came out of the hole fearing for his life. He stayed in the dark for years and died one day, unbeknownst.

You can be fearful and still use it to tame your weaknesses and build your emotional strength.

Can you make it?

I always yearned to go for government jobs because I had a few relatives already into it and doing well with money and security. And here is me, with an arts background, uncertain about what to choose.

So, keep on experimenting.

Olfactory neurons use unexpected 'solid' clusters to achieve genetic precision - Phys.org

I have always wanted to write things. Wrote poetry during my grad and reluctantly left it for preparation of a govt. exam because who’s got extra time for it.

Long story short, here I am. Being a writer. Doing things I’d always love to do. Sharing my experiences of what I learnt.

Indeed, a number of other factors contribute to your uniqueness, but that’s for you to introspect.

Will AI allow companies to upskill their call center agents, as Ikea did with its interior design training?

Don’t drink because everybody does today.

Until the day I choose to listen to myself. I let my subconscious go wherever it wanted me to go. It was not just in dreams I wanted to live, but in real life. Not allowing others to cloud my personality, my ability, my inclination towards philosophy, knack to motivate others, and my indifference towards others’ opinions.

I know being a writer is no different. But my journey is different. Its unique to me.

Become different not according to the world, but according to what you like and what you don’t.

Being different is being okay with failure, so you know what the dessert of a win tastes like.
