All the life's wisdom you need...
My sister @#-Link-Snipped-# shared the following comic strip with me saying it's been made for me. I enjoyed reading it and yes, it does reflect my life in the last ~10 years. I was totally surprised to see that this strip is already making waves in the social media and also made it to the front page of Gawker media blog (one of the most popular blog networks in the world).
Note: The strip may require multiple readings to understand, but it'd be an effort worth investing.
Gawker says, "this comic pretty much sums up everything you need to know... it's the best thing you'll read all day". The uninitiated may know that Bill Watterson is the creator of one of the most popular comic strips in the world - Calvin & Hobbes.
I thought of posting it here, because it does offer some advice and also caution that it may require some time before you understand what it's trying to say. Sit back, free your mind, read the comic, think about it and then post your feelings below in the comments.

Ankita KatdareI couldn't agree more with the title of this thread.
I think very few people would pay attention to the words written. We are so clouded with the thoughts of what people have been telling us about success, ambition, passion under the topic of - "career advice", that it becomes a fleeting idea that there's life beyond all this.
I know very few people, who have given a serious thought to finding "your own life's meaning". Some of my friends talked about it at length, but now as they are climbing that imaginary ladder of success - they have changed their opinions in pursuit of the materialistic dreams.
And though it's written over and over, it IS really difficult to FORM a strong opinion about such a thing about your life and pursue it whole-heartedly - when there will be thousands of people (especially close to you and people you care about and people you look to for advice) who would say "Don't be satisfied with where you are" OR "Keep Climbing. If you stop, you are stuck." ๐
This comic comes from a daredevil who was bold enough to follow his heart. There's A LOT to think about, if you read it carefully. -
zaveriThe comic strip meant well, but looking at it from another angle, i feel it is easier to preach than to put anything in to practice.

- To invent your own life's meaning is not easy.
- But it's still allowed.

But it's not 'THAT' difficult either. -
PensuAmazing. Loved the part - "As if a job title and salary are the sole measure of human worth". Since our birth, society tells us to be successful. But nobody knows what "success" is? They are just climbing an imaginary ladder. May be some day, it would be easier to invent own life's meaning, till then keep rising!

The decision to follow your heart is really the one that requires a lot of courage.But once you do it your life becomes as good as never before
This is what I learnt from the amazing comic strip ๐.But anyway there's a lot of difference in learning and actually implementing them.๐ -
Anand Tamariyahmm....it's not that difficult as it seems. If one knows what one wants, one will definitely get it. Just remember - one alone is responsible for one's life.

It really takes courage to do something really away from the well-trodden path. You may be successful, you might be not. All depends on your hard-work & a fraction of what we call "destiny".
