Life is a "Race?"???

  Hi friends... 

Yesterday my friend's results has been declare. He has topped. In film 'Three Idiots' there is one dialogue, 'Dost first aajaye to jada dukha hota hai'.  :P  That is not applied here. :) I am very happy for him.  Another quoted lines in same movie are remembered by everybody,  and that to co-ordinate with your studies, career and everything. Competitive world, Life is a race, you have to win.. bla bla bla..  And unfortunately, he follows the same strategy. 

He always used to feel sick when exams come near; cheat his best friend for notes. He always used to keep secret something. In this way if he even comes first who is going to enjoy her success?. “Try not to become a man of success. Rather become a man of value.” Albert Einstein has truly said.  Is he going to remember this marks or friends for life time?? 

I remember in childhood if my friend is not going to come in school I also used to deny to go. I remember my  career plans were more exciting when I was just five. :P  There are perhaps no days of our childhood we lived so fully. Just a single lollipop could make us happy. Daddy's shoulder was the highest place for us. Its impossible to get that time back. 

As the age age grows up why do we get more n more away from morals? Growing apart doesn't change the fact that for a long time we grew side by side; our roots will always be tangled to the land of morals we learned in childhood. I don't know what actually  spoils mind?  Is that the competitive world outside or teachers or parents or system? Grown ups are somewhat complicated creatures.  What we learn up to five is engraved in mind.   Learning is a fun and not just for exams should be "Sanskar" in school. Yes, life is a race but " Don’t waste your energy and time trying to compare with others….. Sometimes you are ahead… Sometimes behind…. The race is long and in the end it’s only with" your self "!! Why this should not be taught? I hope Someday he'll definitely realize that his friend who was ready to give anything for him was more important than his cheated marks...
