“Don’t be serious, be sincere” – a speech by Chetan Bhagat at Symbiosis

Excerpt from the Speech given by Chetan Bhagat at Symbiosis.

Life is one of those races in nursery school where you have to run with a marble in a spoon kept in your mouth. If the marble falls, there is no point coming first. Same with life, where health and relationships are the marble. Your striving is only worth it if there is harmony in your life. Else, you may achieve the success, but this spark, this feeling of being excited and alive, will start to die.

One thing about nurturing the spark – don’t take life seriously. Life is not to be taken seriously, as we are really temporary here. We are like a pre-paid card with limited validity. If we are lucky, we may last another 50 years. And 50 years is just 2,500 weekends. Do we really need to get so worked up? It’s ok, bunk a few classes, goof up a few interviews, fall in love. We are people, not programmed devices.

“Don’t be serious, be sincere.” !!!

    Now that is a really nice line to say, yeah maybe we people do tend to get a bit too serious. And maybe we need to find the line between getting serious and being sincere. Nice post, will look out for more posts(but c’mon write an original one)!!!
