What's in a name

How much of difference does it take to be different? Everyone walks around proclaiming how 'different' they are, but if everyone is different, aren't everyone the same?

Each one of us want to fit in. Yet again, each one of us want to stand out. 

Mr/Ms. Different, you confuse me.

The truth is, each one of us are different. If you want to go out to the world and prove something, prove your worth. Prove your sense of reliability. Prove your sense of responsibility.

Prove your love, your friendship, your faith.

Sometimes you have to move against the flow of the world. Just being different wont help dude. You need to BE more. You need to DO more.

Be compassionate, not sympathetic. Be informal, but know formalities. Know where the line is, but take care not to cross the line.

Don't cross your limitations, try to overcome them. Do what you want to do. But also do things to help others. Be what you want to be. Life is too short to be some one else.

Love others. Help others. Only after you have helped yourself, loved yourself.

Don't be too selfish. Don't be too selfless. Don't be too balanced.

Don't be too positive. Don't be too negative. Be practical.

Don't be sentimental. Be emotional.

Lie or don't lie. But don't cover up once you are caught.

Lying and manipulating the truth is the same thing. It is better to Shut Up.

Confess. But to the right person.

Introspect. Only when it helps. 

Think. Only when required.

Be spontaneous, but look before you leap.

Compromise, Sacrifice. But do it willingly.

Don't regret.

Make mistakes. Learn from them.

If you haven't made mistakes, you haven't made anything.

Talk you heart out. But respect and keep secrets. Especially if they belong to others.

Enjoy the irony of life. Don't get involved in it.

Be different to different people but same to each one.

Don't have double standards.

Create your own path. If you can't, there is no fault in following another one.

Sometimes it is not about creating your own. It also helps if you repair someone else's.

Giving up is not so bad. But never give in.

Dream. Fantasize. Imagine. But live in the real world. 

Don't get confused about past, present and future. They are equally important for our existence. Remember yesterday, Live today and Think tomorrow.

Listen to other's advice. Follow your heart (or your mind, whichever you choose).

Smile. And spread the smile.

Laugh all the time. It helps heal.

Cry your heart out. It helps heal faster.

Live life King Size.

But remember, the king has had problems too. :P
