Speech by Chetan Bhagat @ Symbiosis

"Don't just have career or academic goals. Set goals to give you a balanced, successful life. I use the word balanced before successful. Balanced means ensuring your health, relationships, mental peace are all in good order. There is a no point of getting a promotion on the day of your breakup. There is no fun in driving a car if your back hurts. Shopping is not enjoyable if your mind is full of worries. Life is like one of those race we use to have in schools where you have to run with a marble in a spoon kept in your mouth. If the marble falls, there is no point in coming first. Same is with life where health, relationships & mental peace are like marbles. Your striving is only worth if there is harmony in your life. Else you may achieve the success but the spark, the feeling of excitement will start to die."

Friendship SMS

• કહેવું છે કંઈક પણ શબ્દો નથી મળતાં,
  અંધારા રસ્તા પર અજવાળાં નથી મળતાં,
  જીવવી છે જિંદગી દોસ્તોની સાથે,
  પણ વિતાવી શકાય એવા બે પળ નથી મળતાં!
• खुदासे कोइ बात अनजान नहीं होती,
  हर इन्सान की बंदगी बेईमान नहीं होती,
  कभी मांगा होगा हमने एक प्यारा सा दोस्त,
  वरना यूं ही हमारी आपसे पहेचान नहीं होती!
• कुछ रिश्ते अन्जाने में बन जाते हैं,
  पहेले दिल से फिर जिंदगी से जुड जाते हैं.
  कहेते हैं उस दौर को उल्फत-ए-दोस्ती,
  जिसमें दोस्तो के दिल न जाने कब मिल जाते हैं!
• दोस्त वो है जो बिन बुलाये पकाने आ जाए.
  एक सुने और दस सुना जाए.
  एक चिप्स दो तो पूरा पेकेट खा जाए.
  जब मौका मिले वाट लगाए.
  पर साला हर मुश्किल में साथ निभाए!
• Power of Friendship: एक लडका देर रात को घर पहोंचा. बाप ने पूछाः “कहां था तू?” लडकाः “दोस्त के घर था.” बाप ने उसके सारे दोस्तों को फोन लगाया. कुछ ने कहा, “हां यही था.” कुछ ने कहा, “अभी निकला यहां से.” और एक ने तो कहा, “यहीं है अंकल, पढ रहा है. फोन दूं क्या?”!!!
• Friends should be like ‘Zeros’. When you add, subtract or multiply them, they remain the same. But if you try to divide, they become infinite!

Shayarana SMS

• दीप जलते जगमगाते रहें,
  हम आपको आप हमको याद आते रहें;
  जब तक जिंदगी है दुआ है हमारी,
  आप चांद की तरह जगमगाते रहें.
• प्यार वो नहीं जिसमें जीत और हार हो,
  प्यार वो नहीं जिसमें इझहार और इन्कार हो,
  प्यार वो है जिसमें किसी की उम्मीद ना हो
  आने की, लेकिन फिरभी उसका इंतझार हो!
• रोनेसे किसी चीजको पाया नहीं जाता,
  खोनेसे किसी चीजको भुलाया नहीं जाता,
  वक्त सभीको मिलता है जिंदगी बदलने का,
  पर जीवनमें वक्तको बदलाया नहीं जाता.
• सपनोंसे दिल लगाने की आदत नहीं रही,
  हर वक्त मुस्कुराने की आदत नहीं रही,
  यह सोचकर कि कोई मनाने आएगा,
  अब हमें रुठ जानेकी आदत नहीं रही.
• तमन्ना है कि कभी वो ईकरार करे, कभी ईन्कार करे
  कभी नाराझ हो, कभी प्यार करे
  ढुंढती ही रहे दोनों की निगाहें,
  कभी हम आपका तो कभी आप हमारा इंतझार करे.
• खुले जो लब तो दुआ दे तुमको,
  हररोज नई जिंदगी खुदा दे तुमको
  अगर एक खुशीकी आरझु करो तुम,
  खुदा खुशिओं का जहां दे तुमको.
• तकदीर के खेल से निराश नहीं होते,
  जिंदगीमें कभी उदास नही होते,
  मत करना यकीन अपने हाथों की लकीरों पे,
  तकदीर तो उसकी भी होती है जिसके हाथ नहीं होते.

Best of SMS-II

 Success is a vehicle which moves on a wheel named smart work. But the journey is impossible without the fuel named self-confidence.
 Making your mark on the world is hard. It takes patience, it takes commitment & it takes facing a lot of failure along the way.
 No failure should ever reach the heart & no success should ever reach the head, because both not only restrict your growth but also ensure failure in life.
 Winning your goal is not the toughest victory but winning your patience to achieve your goal is the toughest one.
 Success is never permanent & failure is never final. So always keep going until your victory makes a history.
 Whenever you’re criticized, don’t get upset. Always remember that “No stones are thrown on a fruitless tree.”
 Staying at the back, giving power & support to those who are in the front & still being egoless! We can learn this lesson from number “Zero”.
 It’s not that some people have willpower for success & some don’t. But some are ready to change & some aren’t.
 Be more concerned about your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are while your reputation is merely others’ perception about what you are!
 Most of us miss out on life’s big prizes i.e. Pulitzer, Nobel, Oscar, Grammy etc. But we are all eligible for the life’s small pleasures. A pat on the back, a good word, a great meal, a good joke, a thank you, a sweet shower of rain, a beautiful walk with your loved one. So enjoy the beauty of life which actually lies in small, normally unnoticed pleasures.
