Learning!

One day Dada Bhai has come to my room. That was indeed in some sense a breakthrough in my IISc life. He brought light to life that is bored , perplexed and strayed from it's purpose.
While I was talking to him, he suddenly expressed his views on what he thinks about his friends. He stated Varma as example and said everyone has to think Big. He focused on how Varma thinks and how justified it is. He famously quoted " Thinking small is crime". It rang bells in my mind.
My mind too started to inquire about what is possible and what is not. Then I started to learn from my friends just as Dada bhai learned from his friends.
I have learnt that no matter who you are , one has to do exercise to keep one's body and mind healthy. Then I realized that Chaitu does 'SuryaNamaskar' daily. Then I thought "if someone who is almost as capable as I, is doing in front of my own eyes .. how can't I learn from him ?' . Then I asserted myself "I must learn something good from my friends and outside".
When I decided that I must go to IISc , then my motivation was to re-learn the time when I was succesful. I thought how one should think to be successful in life.
I remembered those thoughts and now , I feel my own purpose is to learn something from the greats. To learn what way they think.
In that sense, one part of my coming to IISc is fulfilled. What is left is to put in practice those noble ideas.
Right now, I was thinking about how humility plays a role in a man's success.
I have learnt how confidence is important in a man's life and also how important it is to preserve it.
