While in college and neck deep into preparing for my MBA entrance exams, I and my brother had a discussion and he remarked- you always need to do the right thing.
At that point in time, I thought to myself that the statement my brother had made was just platitude. But today as I live my life on my own, I realise the gravity of that statement.
I try and use that statement as a yardstick for all actions that I undertake. In the process I have realised that it is not easy. The basic assumption for this is that you have been taught enough what right things are.
But as plain as it sounds it aint so easy to practise. At the peril of sounding like a moral science teacher, I state that it often takes courage to the do the right thing.
Courage to go against your own wishes and that of others. Life presents itself with so many situations, and to do the right things in all of the instances makes you live every moment of life with an intensity like you've never experienced!

Just the mundane stuff called life...
Who am I?
Akila.
Welcome to Mundane Stuff. Not too many prizes for guessing what I write on- Life. Just the way I see it
This is my cosy corner of the earth. A place where I dont have to fear about whether "It sounds better in my head" before I speak.
If given a chance I would have loved to work for the LIFE magazine, listen to the Traveling Wilburys live in concert, travel with Michael Palin once on his journeys(even if it means I have to be a coolie).
Working currently as a Human Resources professional in India and writing nothing about it.

introspection is sometimes painful. that part about courage to go against your own wishes is true, though.

Right or Wrong !
Life isn't so simple... Or is it?
Most of mine is grey :-)
Infact what you believe is right might be perceived as wrong by someone who cannot fully grasp the impact of the stimuli on you.. !
Right or Wrong => Wrong
Reality and Perception => Right
:)) Did u get it right ?
@ravana:
