While
browsing through YouTube today, I just happened to click on an old classmate’s advertisement.People
in the ad kept telling the children that they would be the next Einstein, Kishore,
Obama, Michael Jackson etc. And the
children plead, ‘Instead of being the next somebody can I please be the first
me?’
How true indeed, we spent almost all of our life trying to be like someone. We try imitating our role models, or just try to become what others want us to be like. Satisfying others, we lose ourselves in the process. We forget that life is not a struggle of creating self but a beautiful challenge to find the self hidden within.

We humans are called so, because we are the ones with intellect and power of rational thinking on the planet. I ask where that power of your's go; when you try to please others by losing a part of yourself. There is a beautiful song, ‘When I’m Gone’ from one of my favorite bands 3 Doors Down, where a line says ‘Part of me is fighting this, but part of me is gone’. I second that. We have already lost a part of ourselves trying to be a part of the ‘be someone‘ race. But don’t lose the rest of you buddy.
I would
repeat the same words that can be found everywhere on the internet. Don’t try
to please others, your people would come to you and stay without asking you to
change a bit.
I am definitely going to be the first me, the first SR. Would you too join me in the journey??
