Only if you dream big, you can achieve big. Do only one thing but do it greatly.

And then there are many sayings which urge you to put all your energies around so called “big” or “great” things. How many of us do that in reality? We all have to agree that bigger moments are so few and smaller moments are so many!

I have learned over time that life defines itself in many smaller things. I’m sure we all have had our own bigger moments but is our life only about those few moments? What about all those other million smaller moments which helped us to become what we are today? I would say our bigger moments are those curves which we took on our journey called life but our smaller moments are those which let us reach those life-defining curves.

Before reaching a seat in one of the engineering colleges, we had to pass so many smaller tests. I remember the euphoria (momentary though) after beating all my friends in Math test caused me so many times to forget about that engineering seat! That one test, on the way to engineering seat, was a very small moment in comparison to what I was aspiring for but still that euphoria is something I’ll never forget! And I’m sure my friends got the similar feeling when they beat me in all the other subjects;)

Same with my MBA seat as well. When I was in Pune and preparing for my MBA, I used to give full-length tests with “youth-icon” Chunnu. We always had that healthy competition of outsmarting each other. My arguments and all the teasing with him are more memorable than the offer letter which I received to join an MBA college!

You can easily decide which is more important:

Paying for the family dinner at a restaurant for the first time or your current take home? Buying Nokia 1100 from your first salary or buying iPhone now? Someone’s name appearing on the mobile screen or actually talking to her?

Smaller moments make our life meaningful. Life is more beautiful in those smaller moments. Cheers to all those chhoti-chhoti baatein:)
