I don’t want to die without any scars’ –Fight Club

Wow!!! What a statement! Come to think of it, how relevant it is. Really? You are thinking. Who wants scars? They are ugly and painful.

I am talking about the scars life gives us. Our failures, our heartbreaks, our disappointments, all make us who we are. They are our greatest teachers. To quote Sunny in The godfather, “ break bones”. Well, that may be in the context of gang wars but we all have to break bones to get ahead in life.

We have to face setbacks, suffer unexpected delays and feel dejected. But then we come out much stronger. Had that not been the case, Edison wouldn’t have invented the light bulb; there would be no electricity today and no airplanes. In fact we would have been still living in caves. It i9s only because man thought of something, tried, failed and retried till hey got what they wanted, that the world has is today where it is.

Life gives us many scars but these scars also carry memories. Your heart may have been broken by your first crush but honestly; don’t you still smile when you think of him/her? Your business may have suffered but don’t you think it has taught you to reshape your strategies? Your relationship may have ended but didn’t you have a blast while it was good?

So don’t you think that scars are worth every bit? I hope you get some

So be it!!!
