SO WHAT?!!!

I spent tens of thousands of dollars for my MBA and these words are some of the few things that still remain in my brain...

It's the ultimate statement...or rather...question- a test to all the analysis that we have painstakingly done - because there is no point in doing the wrong thing right...

And hence, I have decided to elevate the importance of these words and mesh them into my life principles...

Oh how I love these two words... I love shouting them because...

It's my challenge to all my problems...
It's my challenge to all my sadness...
It's my challenge to all my enemies...

and also my challenge to all the people I care...

Someone asked me these two related questions:

What is the highest point of one's life?
After what period one ceases to pursue the high point of life?


Not surprisingly - he's also a seeker...

Certain cultures regard achievements in different ways. Different societies infuse different ambitions and ideals to their individuals. An achievement to one could be regarded as a derision to another.

Then...what is considered as the "highest point"?

In life, one should find that after reaching the top of a mountain - there would be many higher peaks that previously were not sighted, because the view from below was very limited by the clouds above...

It's a never ending pursuit... Therefore one must ask himself before scaling:

So what
if I reach this "highest point"? Because I am going to find another "higher point"...
So what if I reach this "highest point"? It is lonely at the top...
So what if I reach this "highest point"? And sacrifice the people I love...
SO WHAT?!!!

And so after asking all these questions and determine that the pain is worth it...then one can go on...

Cause nobody wants to be at the 'top' and feeling miserable...

I know this is not going to satisfy him as a seeker - this does not satisfy me either even as I'm typing these words...

Seekers want real not abstract answers...
Seekers want tangible goals not illusive ones...
Seekers are destination oriented and care less about the journey...

But for now...it's the best thing I've got...to keep me going...

so what if I'm an average person...
so what if I never reach my ultimate potentials...
so what if my journey is faltering...
so what if my dreams are never fulfilled...
so what if I must live with this emptiness...
...as long as I've got You...
