Is this it?

As i travel through the journeys of life, i wonder what is it that ultimately decides where we land up in the pursuit of our, well, pursuits. And then, it makes me think that may be it really depends on how much of-life-or-death do we identify the object of our pursuits as. And may be it is this one small exercise in some corner of our mind-howsoever unwittingly it may happen-that ultimately decides everything.

Coz when you want something really bad, you go that extra mile, you don't go that mile on the left-or-the-right coz you know it won't take you there. You shamelessly hitchhike coz you know you want to be there. And you know-you cannot not be there.

..and of all the reasons that make men and women fail in their endeavors, the one that i have had closest brushes with is frontloaded complacency. This one trait which makes a perfectly fatal duo with procrastination could very well be that one master switch that can turn off the lights-how much ever uncle Iglesias Enrique wants us not to do so! So it may sound more of a hyperbole, but i happen to believe that complacency has great potential to be the mother of most, if not all, failure.

er..is this it?
