Friends yeah quality friends

Well i have been going through this re-evaluation phase of my life and found out i've suffered most because of my trait of "pleasing people" that i felt important to me in some way or the other. I've realised that part of my problem has been pleasing others. This has primarily been to remain liked, the routine guy and to avoid conflict, etc. All measures of my own insecurities. But lately I've been finding more and more that many of such people who I once considered friends, have actually been friends only because I've been a particular way with them, and if that 'way' has deviated in some way, then their friendship has waned or disappeared altogether. Some of my 'friends' have chosen to part ways, while I've chosen to part ways from others. What's been really interesting to me is that these friends, for want of a better word, have only been friends if I've been of a particular way. Attitudes, actions, opinions, etc. If I d...

If you want something you never had, do something you have never done. Don't go the way life takes you. Take the life the way you go.

Random thoughts...

Games are addictive, why? Well o well to win a game one needs to focus on all the aspects of its. One needs to have an eye for the minutest of the detail. This is what i love the most about games. Its quite similar to the way one lives his life. One has to focus on the approach he takes up rather than on the ultimate goal. In terms of the game, a gamer keeping in mind the mission focuses on the approach rather the goal. I just met this guy named Mike Langle on my way home last night. He's been travelling around the world for last 10 years or so. According to him, its does sound strange but the people in different parts of globe are quite same at their heart. Its just the way of communicating, the boundaries of geographical lands that stand between them. And probably thats one of the reasons why a person can make his way through all these lands just by using the language of hearts than that of the lands. How true of him? thats what i was thinking later on. How easily one can make hi...
