Things around you affect your life in a big way

Life is such a journey you always find some thing in the way which forces you to change your path. For a long time I had the feeling that I am in control of my life. But as life started unfolding I realized that things and people around you control your life in a big way. They not only has the power to change the way you move forward but also the way you think about your life and future. A thing which always bothers me is " How much we learn from mistakes committed by others". And if we learn how much we use that learning to make our life better. I asked the same question from one of my friends and he presented a very different perspective, " a mistake for you might not be mistake for some one else". Did I ever thought in this manner, probably no. When you go to learn in a class room you not only learn from what you study but you actually learn from the people in the class room. During one of the classes today, I picked up a nice thought " Running your own business will be the most humbling experience in your life", you will learn to respect people. Coming again to mistakes, whenever I feel that I have committed a mistake, every mistake I can remember which I have committed in my life comes in my mind and I try to correlate the mistake I committed now to mistakes committed earlier by me. This helps me at least in taking one resolution, I will not commit this mistake again.

Trying to write in length on suggestion of another friend. I got a chance to go to the place where I started my professional career. Whenever I go to Hyderbad , I feel like this is my home. I don't know why this attachment is , why people at that place are so nice and supportive? Last month I met many people who worked with me, everybody is still the same( nice, supportive and encouraging) . Thanks guys!
