Be Zero

If someone asks what one change you want in life, I am sure 90% of the people will ask for a “Restart” button in life. The question pops in my head “Why? Why some really doing great or at least looks like they are doing great people want to restart their lives?” The only answer is “Expectation. Expectation kills.”  

They say to reach on top is really tough but to retain that position is tougher. This is very true in our day to day lives. We have created our images in front of the world or rather false image many a time of smart, successful, intelligent, well-educated etc. all the possible adjectives which can be used to define all the super heroes. This image prevents us from taking risk or from making mistakes, because expectations form this imaginary person is very high; he can’t afford to make any mistake. As Albert Einstein has rightly said if you can’t make mistakes you can’t invent.

When someone ask Steve Jobs what is the best thing happen to you in your professional career. He said “I got fired from my own company Apple was the best thing happened to me. That burden of successful career had replaced my freedom of creativity and I started Pixar.”

What one should do to be free from everything and do what he wants in life? “Become Zero”. Tell the world that you are good for nothing, that don’t keep any expectations on you and you are not going to save thins world like some super hero. Rajput kings in their time whenever see that they are not going to win the war, they used to do “Kesariya”. In Kesariya they go to fight the war as they are doing to die and just want to die as a brave solider. Sometimes it had done the wonders like turning the tables. What made it possible? The killed the expectation of victory and they won.

To set yourself free “Be Zero”.
