Intuition - A pole star in times of uncertainty

The major hurdle in solving a complex problem is either the solution space is huge or the solution is not clearly visible. When the complexity of the problem increases one should go by intuition rather than by adopting a logical or thoroughly rationalistic approach. That in fact might be the most feasible approach and could reduce a lot of time and effort.

The method could be called as intuitive reasoning(Going by once gut feelings). Though intuitive approach sometimes appears irrational it is an inherently rationalistic one. As we do a task for a longer period of time or when we do it repetitively our sub conscious mind takes control of the activity. We tend to pick the right data from a vast set of data easily or we can relate an occurrence of a similar situation at a different time in a different field and so on.

Hence intuitive approach will be rewarding only when the method is applied with a certain amount of experience else the method could prove disastrous.

In the end I would like to say that intuition + conviction approach yields better results than an absolutely rationalistic approach for an uncertain situation or a complex problem.

Friendship [Dedicated to my beloved friends]

I always believe that a friend in need is a friend in deed. I am grateful to god that I have the company of two people who I believe belong to such echelons. They are in fact friends for my life.

Always value your friends. Good friends are hard to come by. Never take any friendship for granted. Relentless effort is required to maintain any good relationship. There should be minimal or no ego between friends. Besides, if u cannot be a good friend at least try maintaining a win-win policy, as for any relationship to last it has to be mutual. Don't u think "good friendship is one of the best investments one could ever make" ?.

So, if U already have a good friend be thankful to god and if U don't have one then there must be some inadequacy in U. Try figuring out your shortcomings by doing a little bit of introspection. I am sure U will be able to find the problem and solution for the same(Usually the source of the problem will be ego clashes or narrow mindedness or selfishness to name a few) .

Judging People

I have this bad habit of judging people. I don't even spare myself in this aspect. I do a lot of introspection.

Judge people sparingly. This would benefit you in fact but don't become a critic. Critics have not and will not achieve anything big in their lives. Moreover, your life becomes miserable as a critic. As I read in one of the articles nothing is absolute and is subject to change over a period of time. No body is either absolutely good or bad. Never adopt a binary stand with respect to any person in life.

I hope this piece of advice will add value to your life.

No Dilemma

As long as you live in the competitive world there is no need to be a saint. Be as materialistic as possible. Don't try adopting a middle path. You will neither be here nor there. Once you become a saint then never get back to the materialistic world. By maintaining this binary stand you will not have any confusion. Moreover, initially you will be able to excel in this material world and later end your life in a peaceful way by becoming a saint.
