The Life Wheel

Life. You can call it anything you want to according to your own experiences. This term, Life, in itself carries so much diversity that I am amazed to see how carefully all those stories and events are compressed in it. However, I call it "A series of changes". I define life as a continous struggle to adopt to changes. You have to change according to the events it brings. You have to be able to adopt to any disturbance it brings. You have to be able to face any challenge it brings. Steady flow is just a fantacy. There is always turbulence in everyone's life whether we see it or not. Life is beautiful.

Helicopters were used to carry cameramen for aerial recording of events like football matches.

Helicopter pilot as well as the cameraman lost their jobs due to drone cameras.

Lesson:

1. Keep innovating.

2. Adopt to changes as fast as the world around you changes.

Last but not the least:

Lamborghini was founded as a result of the revenge of a tractor owner who was insulted by Enzo Ferrari, the founder of Ferrari.

Lessons:

1. Never underestimate anyone, ever!

2. Competition is the key to innovation.

Successful are those who get the correct definition of life in the correct phase of their lives. Try to understand your life and excel in it. Learn to be good at many things and then, get perfection in atleast one of them. Perfection is achievable and many have prooved it. Get out of your mind cage. Think freely and vastly. Create ideas and implement them just like 2 young men saw birds fly and they implemented the idea on themselves. Today, millions are flying because of the Wright Brothers. There are innumerous examples to search for. But the real goal is to become one of those examples.

"Be like water. No matter what you are poured in, adjust yourself and take the shape."
