mutation...

i was there with few others discussing about how do we understand and how can we defined success. it was an intresting topic and to find that out of 10 people who were there, none of them have any similarities in understanding the meaning of success. this includes people who said nothing at all but yeah, i still think it is something that i need to appreciate. some where in the middle of the discussion, my mom rang and i excused myself from the session. while talking to mom, some part of my brain was working unconsciously, finding way to define what is success.

after putting down the phone, soon i realised that success is about surviving. if you survive in what ever you do, and you fully utilised all the skills and opportunity provided around you, you are a successful person but if you do not survive in doing it, it does not mean that you have failed to survive but actually you have not found the right way of doing things. to be called a failure, i would say that i agreed with what one of my friend said about being a failure,
"you failed once you give up doing it and you stop yourself from continue doing it."
by all means, my definition does not represent the right definition of success but if we put the word survival in general which everyone have the power to define it according to their taste that they like, im sure it mean something.

later i said to everyone, "if we put ourself as a mutant, we actually have the power to overcome all barriers. if we try to mutate ourself by knowing the look and the character of the barrier, it would be the simplest thing to do in getting over it, the barrier and it would be easy for us to understand the consequence of our action due to it and to accept it positively later on."

wish i had pen that time to jot this down as a remembrance to myself...




p/s: "Virus: A microorganism smaller than a bacteria, which cannot grow or reproduce apart from a living cell. A virus invades living cells and uses their chemical machinery to keep itself alive and to replicate itself. It may reproduce with fidelity or with errors (mutations)-this ability to mutate is responsible for the ability of some viruses to change slightly in each infected person, making treatment more difficult."
