Dear all...THIS IS FOR ALL COLLEGE STUDENTS...
There is a pic of a tamil guy in US floating around in fb saying he is an aerospace engineering scientist, has designed some missile, but communicates only in tamil, he is a great tamizhan, we are proud of him etc.
Many also feel proud that Dr APJ Abdul kalam spoke in tamil in UN assembly quoting Kaniyan Poongundranar's "Yaathum orey, yaavarum keleer!!' (means "this world is one family and we are all one!!").
There are many more such shares floating around boasting of tamil, tamilian, based on caste and religion also. Many are celebrating the celebrities also.
What do we want to do??...We want to just booze, and celebrate celebrities and remain rotten wherever we are?..or we also want to become a celebrity, become a role model tamilian or a role model of that caste or religion...become an inspiration to others?
remember...all these achievers did not become that by knowing only Tamil language!!
1. They learnt all the possible languages of country and world.
2. They all had a goal in life, passion to do things, they got involved in those, they spent their days and nights towards reaching their goals and enjoying their passion. They were not lazy. They kept their body and mind healthy and strong.
3. They worked very very hard and they were focused.
4. They were not getting distracted from their goals by people, by rules and regulations, by social pressures, by family pressures, by social networks.
5. They were not sensitized about caste, religion, region, tamilian, this and that. They lived their life beyond all these downgrading sensitivities which also pull them down and do not allow to grow in life.
6. They were highly flexible, adaptable to places, people, food, climate, situations. They accepted people as they are. They did not look at people for their caste, religion, language they speak etc. They only looked at people for their 'resourcefulness' for organisations, relationships, projects and their usefulness for achieving their goals and passion.
7. They all traveled widely in search of knowledge, wisdom, experience. They did not lock up themselves in Tamil Nadu, or spoke only to Tamil people, or only to Indians. They were open. The presumed the whole world as their house, full of oppurtunities to learn, work, enjoy!!...They were patriotic too. Patriotism needs to be understood correctly!!..The understanding of most the Indians is wrong!!
8. They became achievers, famous, role models, inspirers and ambassadors of their language, religion, culture etc. Only after they became all these they started talking in Tamil or saying that they belong to this country or culture or religion or language etc in UN or big gatherings etc.
9. They learnt and 'followed' everything that is good for peace, health, happiness and success that is there in their language, or culture or religion to achieve their goals. They also picked up good things from all religions, cultures, countries, races, languages etc.
10. They were not rigid about what is right, what is correct and what is wrong. But they all had good morals, ethics and values. They used all their learning and experience to become good human beings. Good professionals. Highly talented. Multiple skilled. Good administrators. Good managers. Good leaders. Became like a banyan tree.
11. They were disciplined. They had a time discipline. Hygiene discipline. Health discipline. Relationships discipline. What to do, when to do, what not to do etc.
12. They never wasted time. They played while playing. They worked when they worked.
13. Many of them are not intelligent, rich, well supported etc. They all worked hard, with their own efforts, moved step by step, at their own pace depending upon their capabilities, they never withdrew when they faced failures, they always got up and kept on moving in entire life, created their own identities, created images for them, utilized oppurtunities, created oppurtunities etc. They had the fire in their belly and eyes always. Their heart and soul were always determined to reach their goals in their passion against all the odds. They were not living like others. They were different. Their life style was different.

I was also born in a poor Tamil family. Studied only in Tamil medium corporation school. But i realised all these early in life, pulled out myself from all these sensitivities, though i was state first in 10th Tamil mandram exam, have written literature standard short stories in the best magazines like Ananda Vikatan etc, i am interested in learning many languages for my development so that we are able to communicate globally. This should be the attitude. Towards this you will have to break all the challenges you face from family, friends, society, people around etc.
Therefore, the crux is...
1. Don't stop by just celebrating the celebrities...be a celebrity yourself...by doing all the above...become a role model....then you don't have to boast about your language, or culture or caste or religion...when you radiate all these, people will automatically follow all that of yours. After reaching this height if you talk Tamil or put up your other sensitivities then people will appreciate and accept....otherwise not!!
Otherwise these sensitivities are of no use, will not help you to grow in life and you will remain a crib master in your small hole and die!!
Peacefully yours...rams...Psychologist...
