Who Am I?

In my class 8^th, in the subject of Buddhism, I came across few words by Lord Buddha – “All that we are is the result of what we have thought.” The brain never sleeps and therefore thinking is a never ending process. And so the answer to who am I is completely time bound.

Death is not the biggest fear we have; our biggest fear is taking the risk to

be alive -- the risk to be alive and express what we really are. As far as I know, expressing yourself is the best thing one can do. It not only reflects the true self of a person but also leads one to self actualisation and finding the answer to this very question “who am I?”.

From the very beginning, this questions always bothered me. Why am I studying? Why should I work? Why do I love, laugh, cry when everything is going to end. But then time and again I came across people saying, live every moment. And this always gives me a constant push to live…live and not just exist.

In this life, I have made many friends, seen some of the best places, met some great people. Even the personality tests say that I am an extrovert person who love living among the people. But then, back again, who am I?

I am, in very simple, world accepted definition – a 23 year old person doing his MBA with big dreams to achieve. I love music..music is life. I love talking to my close group. I love to express my self. And above all I love God.

You must be the change you wish to see in the world. And therefore, I try to see myself from other’s eyes. Our greatest glory is not in never failing but in rising up every time we fail. I am learning to enjoy every minute of my life. That’s one reason why I am currently here.

Whatever be the purpose of my life, I know at the moment just one thing "The secret of getting ahead is getting started".
