Everyone should and must enjoy

On a college visit, Michael Dell was asked by a student, "Michael, you are the youngest billionaire. You can just sell everything and buy a beach house, girls around, own a yacht and have fun all your life." Michael Dell exclaimed, "That's sounds boring. You have any idea how much fun it is to handle a multi-million dollar company?"

These lines made me go deep inside myself. While watching a deeply intellectual movie, I often thought, 'I am enjoying this movie so much. I am glad that I can think so much. Can people who don't think such stuff or people who are just too dumb, enjoy so much like I am doing?'

I got my answer. I enjoyed pubbing long time back and then quit it because I stopped enjoying it. I am sure the people who are still in there might think the same: people who don't do pubbing, can they enjoy as much as we do?

Everyone has his own way of enjoying life. Some people enjoy action movies, some comedy, some romantic. Some people get high on rock music, some get fresh on ghazals. But there's one category of people who don't enjoy as much as others do. They're the people who don't do what they want to do. Someone might love travelling but can't do it because of parental or monetary constraints. Someone might love socializing but doesn't have courage or is shy to do so.

So what is it that makes you enjoy life?

Is it freedom? It could be physical freedom to move out of the home anytime you want. It could be financial freedom to spend however and wherever you want.

Is it courage? To have freedom one must have courage. So courage could be something one needs to enjoy life.

Is it open-mindedness? I was bored of my music collection. But I was open-minded enough to try out Bhajans and now I really enjoy them.

It came to me finally. It's "people". Yes, I love to watch movies but it's even more fun if I share it with people. Yes, I love to listen to music but it's even more fun when I listen to it with my friends or with my girlfriend. There's no fun pubbing alone. It's fun to dance. But the fun increases manifold when there are people around you. Even for the shiest person, dancing along with someone he knows is more fun than dancing alone in his room. There could be few things that are fun doing alone but that fun wanes off. Maybe a lot of people know this, but very few actually realize it and think about it. Those who do, they care for people because they know how valuable people are.
