reject

A research has shown, by the time we reach 18, we hear the word “NO” over 1,30,000 times. Just remember your childhood. How many times you have been told, “don’t do this, don’t do that,” “you’ll be never amount of anything” and on-and-on, list goes.

It’s true for most of us, growing up hearing lot of negative things. Most of us were taught that some people were just better than us and there was nothing we could do about it.

times

Picture this!! You are just eight and only for 20 dollars, you are singing in local clubs because there is often a shortage of food and money in your household. Yes, it is when you are just eight.

why-serious-joker

The Dark Knight not only has brought the strongest part from Batman, it has also brought some serious thoughts from the Joker. However, the-not-so-serious Joker smilingly threatened not to be serious but there were some serious thoughts Joker gave us to think about. Let’s take a look:

“I don’t want to kill you. What would I do without you? You make me complete.” – The Joker to Batman

What we really look as the challenge, it’s not a challenge – it’s hurdles. It helps us to measure how stronger we are … it helps us to look where we can grow more. Yes, it’s the hardship that builds our character. What’s success? It only reveals that character. It’s the challenge that trains us to embrace the success properly.

Hero

hero

hero \ hîrô \ n: the one who does what he can.

He is he. He loves being himself. He doesn’t care whether the whole world is following him or not because he knows there is one person, who is blindly following him – and that’s he. He doesn’t care whether the whole world is loving him or not because he knows there is one person who is wholeheartedly loving him – and that’s he. Even he knows that he is somebody. As he is somebody, he never sees himself through others’ eyes. If he never can be a poet, he rather becomes a poem but he always sees himself only through his own eyes. Yes, he is he. He is the hero!

[Etymology: Latin heros, from Greek heros, folk etymology of Greek gyro]
