What electric current actually taught me about life

For some of you maybe this article will be a little bit technical. Or maybe it would be a little late for me to share with some of you guys and you would already know about it. Anyways I just thought its important to share this with a community as unique as this. 

Today I was reading this book called “Practical Electronics for Inventors” just to brush up my basics about electronics. This is a book by Paul Scherz and is for people who want to learn basics of electronics. 

Maybe being a self taught entrepreneur I have cultivated this habit of realizing something unusual about life from anything and everything and making up a spiritual learning from it. Being an atheist I completely try and figure out my own logics of living my own life.

As I moved to the basics of electronics chapter I read a line which actually made me realize a lot of things about my life. It said “The unit of charge will move toward the negatively charged distribution (“pulled” by the negatively charged object and “pushed” by the positively charged object).

by reading this statement I realized the following things:

1) Negative charge always pulls: In your life you are always attracted to all the glamourous things in life. Its like the case of the “Gurd ke paas makkhi jaati hai makkhi ke paas gurd nahi”. I was always attracted towards a lot of things in my life. I was attracted to a brand name and thats why I joined Yahoo! I was always attracted towards making money and that why I started up. I was always attracted towards all the materialistic things in my life…but what changed me?

2) Positive charge always pushes: Even if you take a wrong turn in your life the positive charge in you will always push you to do the right things in your life. I joined Yahoo! because of a brand name but I quit the same brand in 6 months for my happiness, as I was shocked to see the work culture. I started up because I wanted to make money but with time my intuition helped me make out a meaning to start something which can actually help people i.e. Diabeto (a diabetic product that we are currently working on)

Like my father always tells me “ki agar paisa hi kamana hai toh jaake ek bank loot lo”. When your father tells you something like that, what would you think? Why is my dad telling me to do a wrong thing? But what he actually tried making me understand is that you got to find a right way of living and making what you make for yourself and for the society….coz you are not alone, you live not only for yourself but also for the people around you. You are a responsible human being!

Lets us all put ourselves into a situation were we are in a survival mode and think for a moment that we have all gone back to zero and we have no currency no apartments and gone back to a primitive lifestyle…what would you do? you would start farming? you would start hunting? As a human being we all have the capability to survive, remember survival of the fittest?…we know exactly how we can survive but its important to make a reason out of your living.

Fact of realization: happiness is the only thing which keeps you alive and which no one else can ever take away from you. Even if you are rich and have no sign of happiness you will always be incomplete. Do whatever make you happy, whether it makes money for you or not…but your survival mode will always help you make what is essential for you to live this life.

For some people its about learning and applying it for a good use to the society, and for some people its about destroying everything. You need to decide what you would be happy doing…as that is the biggest currency of life.

On a contradictory note whether you are doing a positive or negative thing the negativity in your life will never go away. You will either end up doing something negative or maybe people will term you negative out of jealousy coz by nature our life revolves around both the terminals (both negative and positive)…you are incomplete without both the charges. So figure out your own way of self-realization and act upon it….coz nobody is gonna help you make a decision about your life.
