I am writing this blog, inspired by ‘Stephen Covey’s Big Rocks’.
Imagine a bucket.Put three or four big rocks in it.
Is that full ?
No you reply."of course Not" I say and put smaller rocks in it to fill in the gaps.
Full Now?, No .I put in some sand ,and some water.Now it's full.
So what's the learning here ? It's to do with the order. What would happen if you'd reversed the order.Put the water in first ,then the sand and the small rocks. There would be no room for big rocks.These big rocks are important things in our life.
You need to schedule them first, not try to squeeze them in after arranging the water (writing pointless reports), sand (unnecessary travel) or small rocks (Seminars where no-one listens and everyone looks at the clock).
What are the big rocks in your life? For many it’s things like family, time to watch the children grow up, time to write that novel, time for themselves, time to make a difference. You decide. You identify 3 or 4 things you believe are important. The 3 or 4 things that will make a difference at your funeral.
Recently, I have been to Kedarnath and places near by for trekking .It was a awesome trip,very close to nature ,spent enough time to introspect myself.
I made a bucket list ,what about you ???

Hmm, interesting read. Well written Sai! Yes, you have now put me in thought...will put together a list!
Hey Sai
That was quite thoughtful. Yes, in life we tend to miss out the big things that impact our lives the most when battling with petty things. So is it usually said never ignore things that mean alot to you because one day you wake from sleep and realize that you lost the MOON while counting the Stars
What do i say...you are simple awesome...it was damn inspiring and coincidentally i started thinking about all these things recently..
but still couldn't figure it out though...it was very nice reading your blog on the whole..you write damn good bro, keep it up...
Dude,
Looks like your friend is very insecure in his job. People sometimes blame others to cover or justify their weaknesses.
And just because someone complains, you shouldn't change your behavior or attitude towards others. You can always find good friends in your professional life also.
