Kicking boredom out of life

Hi,

I know this blog is slowly becoming more like a weekend notepad. I am glad that I have the time - at least once in a week.

Met with some friends who nurse some grandiose dreams. Dreams such as:

1. Ruling the state he lives in.

2. Becoming a star violinist.

3. Becoming a short story writer

The common thing about them - they are all aged above 35.

To me, they appeared as men who have kicked boredom out of life. I think it is Victor Frankl, who noted that it is life that is asking a question - "what are you going to do with me?".

How true is this with these friends of mine!! They lead a life with a mission to perform. After the meeting, I parted with a deep thought on "what am I going to do with my life?"

The answer that came to my mind was - "To lead a life that is fully experimented".

What experiments are these? For a person who gets excited with things happening around, it is needless to plan these experiments. The chances to experiment keep occuring every day. Once they occur, grabbing them in the very first sight, is the essence of experimentation.

Thanks

Vijay
