We've been taught. We've learnt and we see it - Everything can be earned by hard work / money etc.
However these five 'powers' must be possessed by default - which if I'm not wrong..cannot be earned or gained.
Exceptional talent.
There's no way you can move ahead in this mad world without an ounce of talent. Yes you need to work hard , I get that..but without talent..all hard work would be sloshed away. Its a mad world , remember !
Metabolism
There's nothing like a fit and healthy body. Infact nothing compared to having an extremely good metabolism. You get to eat all the junk on earth - yet you look all the same , all the time :P ;)
Beauty / Looks WITH brains
I keep debating whether looks are important or not. And yes while inner beauty counts and most of us feel we are beautiful inside ( why would anyone say that he/she is an ugly person ? :P) - the truth is - yes.. lets face it - looks matter.
But all looks..and no brains is such a waste ;)
Luck
I've never been able to fully decipher the concept of destiny and all that jazz...because maybe its for weaker hearts. Maybe only those people who see some hope in their otherwise screwed up life - talk about it all the time.( Like I do it..when I see no other reason for having such hopeless situations in life - and thus conveniently blaming bad luck )
But on the basis of random sampling ; picking up people's story from my life - Luck is that intangible magic which can change things overnight.
And sometimes when nothing counts - luck does.
And then..two most important things in life- Family and friends.
While friends can be 'earned' over time and you also get to choose them...there are only a handful of them who really really are your 'friends'. Rest of them just form the 'crowd' ;) in both sense :P
You never get to choose family :D
So another one of those powers you probably need to be born with - or rather born in :P
And its funny how it would all ultimately correlate to luck. Good friends , family , intelligence , looks , talent - they call you 'lucky' then :P

Not everything can be achieved, you can only admire exceptional talent, increase your metabolism, gape at other's beauty, curse your luck at times :D
ReplyDeleteQuite a thought! Here for the first time and now following your blog :D
I do agree with what Crystal has said...u can't have it all and i seemed to have realised it pretty early!!
ReplyDeleteHehe.. I loved crystals comment!
ReplyDeleteBut then I don't believe in striving for being better.. I would prefer flowing in my own direction..

True that sugar cube ..
ReplyDeleteBut why we waste our time spending in things that we can't change ??
I just can't agree more.
ReplyDeleteAs far as Metabolism is concerned, mine sucks rat balls. *apologies for obscene language*
:D
