Where will you end up in another 10-15 years ? Some people might comment,"I'm gonna be rich and famous, I'm gonna be a Movie star" or someone might want to be something more stereotypical like an Engineer, Doctor, Architect or what ever. But does everyone get to be what they want to be ? Does anyone who aspires to become someone become that someone ?
These are few of the questions running through my head since a few days, which makes me wonder is the saying really true i.e, "Some people are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them" is it destiny that controls our life or is it Karma or is it just plain Ambition that decides what strata of society you are going to be a part of in the future?
What happens to the people who don't achieve what they want, what kind of a life do they live after they realize that they cant achieve what they wanted to ?
Do they live as mere shadows of their former selves sulking in their failure or do they move on and settle for something average according to their standards ?
Like a person who dreams of being a Celebrity, but he ends up working a 9 to 5 desk job where only a handful of people recognize him ? What kind of pain does he go through, and does he accept the fact that he cannot be someone famous but is and always will be someone average, how does this person live with himself after he realizes that he cannot get what he wanted to for
so long ?
Is he more affected by his failure than a Taxi driver who wanted to be a Taxi owner but couldn't ?
How does life move on for people like the wannabe Celebrity ?
Is the saying,"Everything happens for the best" a fact or fiction ?
These are few of the things i might never get an answer for, but i am hoping i would some day (Not by personal experience thou *smirks*).
On the other hand celebrities wouldn't exist without the general populous who look up to them and idolize them. So maybe some people may achieve what they want to while most won't probably just to maintain the equilibrium of social status. Maybe its just plain luck that comes into play with matters regarding one's future. Or in other words a persons Destiny has been decided even before the person came into existence.
like i said i wouldn't know for sure unless i or someone i know very well experiences it first hand.
When, where, what and how a person becomes great is still unknown to to me but one can is.
So maybe what Shakespeare quoted is true,"Some people are born great, others achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them"
your point of view is highly appreciated do comment.
