Yesterday, a group of us were recruiting some students for the e-cell of IBS Hyderabad. And during this process, a student said something about “abstract thoughts”.This triggered off something inside. The grey cells of my head have been pondering since then. Somewhere at the subconscious, we all have abstract thoughts… Our mind ALWAYS has these abstract thoughts. But what do we do about them? How would it be if they were to take a shape? Or do we subdue them? Worse, some of us don’t hear them!
All of us have dreams. We want to be the ‘someone’, but don’t know who. Guess the abstract thoughts in our mind will answer this question best. Today I attended a seminar on Commodity derivatives. And during this seminar, the speaker asked us one question.”Give me one instance when we are not speculating?” That was another trigger...We all speculate ALL the time, and on a logical basis, no matter how illogical the reason could be. This sounds ambiguous but I know it is a good sign. When the mind starts thinking, it confuses the mind itself. And that s when most of us give up! What if our mind fought against our own minds? An interesting revolution!
The consequences of such a revolution are interesting. They will be permanent .We would learn, unlearn and learn again to believe in ourselves. And having conquered this confidence, nothing in the world is impossible. Would it not be great to prove a ‘wrong idea’ right just because you know it? Or rather ONLY you know it? Guess an abstract thought would be a great start.
I was watching Harsha Bhogle’s video on “What IIM gave me and what it dint”. He made a very interesting statement. He said, “Money has no power of thought. It is quite stupid. It chases excellence all the time”. That was one of the most beautiful statements I heard in recent times. Excellence is achieved not only when we just do, but excellence is at it s best when we think and then do. Because every problem in the world has a solution and that is always inspired by an abstract thought.
I have started believing that every random thought in the human brain is not random. Just like the price movements of stocks .Unpredictable! Yet they have a great influence! These abstract thoughts result because of not one but many factors, some totally ghost like! Listen to them carefully. Listening to our own thoughts is a great art. Guess that s where a lot of things begin. A charismatic leader, an entrepreneur and the best of all, a better YOU! These are my abstract thoughts. I hope I will be able to give them a shape someday. Cheers! Amen :)
