The Ant Philosophy

I think everybody should study ants. They have an amazing four-part philosophy, and here is the first part:

ants never quit
That's a good philosophy. If they're headed somewhere and you try to stop them; they'll look for another way. They'll climb over, they'll climb under, they'll climb around. They keep looking for another way. What a neat philosophy, to never quit looking for a way to get where you're supposed to go.



ants think winter all summer
That's an important perspective. You can't be so naive as to think summer will last forever. So ants are gathering in their winter food in the middle of summer.

An ancient story says, "Don't build your house on the sand in the summer." Why do we need that advice? Because it is important to think ahead. In the summer, you've got to think storm. You've got to think rocks as you enjoy the sand and sun.

ants think summer all winter
That is so important. During the winter, ants remind themselves, "This won't last long; we'll soon be out of here." And the first warm day, the ants are out. If it turns cold again, they'll dive back down, but then they come out the first warm day. They can't wait to get out.

And here's the last part of the ant philosophy. How much will an ant gather during the summer to prepare for the winter? All that he possibly can.
What an incredible philosophy, the "all-that-you-possibly-can" philosophy.

Wow, what a great philosophy to have - the ant philosophy.
Never give up, look ahead, stay positive and do all you can.

A beautiful poem : Square root of 3

i fear that i will always be
a lonely number like root 3
a 3 is all that's good and right
why must my 3 keep out of sight
beneath a vicious square root sign
i wish instead i were a 9
for 9 could thwart this evil trick
with just some quick arithmetic
i know i'll never see the sun
as 1.7321
such is my reality
a sad irrationality
when hark! what is this i see
another square root of a 3
has quietly come waltzing by
together now we multiply
to form a number we prefer
rejoicing as an integer
we break free from our mortal bonds
and with a wave of magic wands
our square root signs become unglued
and love for me has been renewed.

Finding my lost Chi

The reason why it took me a long long time to post anything about my CAT preparation mocks is that the scores and %iles were not even worth mentioning- when u see yourself falling into pit from 95% to 55%ile, it gets crazy.

Seen a Japanese movie, they say something about Chi - if u have it correct and can control it well, nothing defeats you. As it seems finding that Chi is the most important task for me right now. I guess i have found some part of it, but still a lot is unknown.
Its like a DI whose answer "cannot be determined".

Just remember 1 thing - " every paper starts with marks ZERO".
Don't ask me what this means,
Of course its a basic fact and am not a monk who can create some fuzzy looking logic for you,
If you understand what this means then good for you,else u will just continue to survive.

"Learning from the mistakes of past and that of the success of present is essential to generate success for the future."

Now thankfully am back onto the right track,(i guess)
Just need to concentrate and
Keep the fuel within burning.
