Reconciling some learnings

Ok... now is the time for me to recollect some lessons which i have picked up over last one year or so. And the very fact that i have learnt this lessons in real life and not in a classroom, makes it very important to me. Because the lessons learnt out of the classroom come at a very very significant cost and sometimes even some irreversible damage. Enough said. Here goes the sacred list which i would try never forget.

1. People skill is the only important skill. Everything else is just to fill up your resume, which really doesn't matter.

2. You deserve what you get. The old and often propagated funda of "you get what you deserve" is just a well-thought out mechanism of actually 'smart' guys to keep you in the illusion and hence out of the door. Also, this statement works in all the situations. C'mon, it is a FACT after all.

3. Promises are made to be broken and you know this. However, for them to be made and subsequently broken, they are also to be believed in. The world does need some suckers to believe them. Choose your side.

4. It is a myth that everything falls into place in the long term. Actually, you just get used to things and convenience overtakes the resilience.

5. Blood, sweat, tears and strong will...Fate overrules them all...

Obviously this is not the final list and i will (have to) keep on adding more as and when i come across these lessons... See, all this is out there, we do not find it...we just get to know of it.
