Your mind is a minefield….
Does the fear of failure keeps you from trying?
“I’ll land with a thud” keeps you from flying?
Just give it a thought,
It’s like a new Life you bought,
But you can’t start living ’cause of fear of dying.
‘Nothing ventured, nothing won’ is a good adage,
That we must remember at every age.
Don’t ever admit defeat,
Even before you compete,
Since that would be nothing short of outrage.
‘Fortune favours the bold’ should be your cue,
You’ve got a chance given only to a few.
First imagine success,
Before the task you address,
And see how elements conspire to make it come true.
Every battle is to be fought first in the mind,
Before in the battlefield you yourself find.
What you imagine you get,
You are your biggest threat or asset,
When you pass through a field that is mined.
….tread carefully.

I have done a long stint in the Indian Navy that lasted for nearly thirty seven years; I rose as far as my somewhat rebellious and irreverent nature allowed me to. On retirement, in Feb 2010, the first thing that occurred to me, and those around me, was that I Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (you will find an article with this title in this blog) and hadn't lost all my noodles and hence thought of a blog titled 'This 'n That'. I later realised that every third blog is called 'This 'n That' and changed the name to 'Sunbyanyname'. I detest treading the beaten track. This blog offers me to air 'another way' of looking at things. The idea is not just to entertain but also to bring about a change. Should you feel differently, you are free to leave your comments. You can leave comments even when you agree and want to share your own experience about the topic of the blog post. Impudent or otherwise, I have never been insousciant and I am always concerned about the betterment of community, nation and the world. I hope the visitors of this blog would be able to discern it.
