Dance like a child !!
I came across this very good article in sunday times (10/9/06) and was looking for its e-copy today. Here is the link. I generally dont read that column in sunday times but did it this time since I had nothing else to do and had read rest of "more interesting" stuff already. The article is about ways to make your life more joyful.
As I went through that article, I got a feeling that the people who need to follow the advice in it may not actually appreciate it as much those who already have lot of joy in their life (me for example :D). Thats how ironic life is. We find a similar case where literate people or NGOs are trying to teach illiterates. They know this is going help those under-privillaged people and they try their best. But it turns out that the most difficult job for them is not to teach illiterates but to make them ready to study.
What I am trying to say here is - we might not always know what is good for us and even if we think we know it, it may not actually be the best thing for us. So however mature and independent we think we, there is always need of a friend who can look things from different perspective and tell you - "Hey!! you need a haircut. Badly."
