Strange as it may sound, today I am quite sympethetic to the collapsed giants of the wall street. If you ask any one, this is the big news these days so everyone is aware, as to what happened, the answer would be recklessness, too much of risk. Hardly anyone will use words like too much of ambition, dreams or confidence. These words are two sides of th same coin, we just choose them based on the result. If AIG would have come out with spectacular results then the CEO would have been described as an ambitious guy, a candidate for some magazine's cover page. I am sure the fall guys now would have donned the cover pages of various magazines in the past.The methods, the race itself has hardly any value in front of results, numbers. Yet it is the methods, the process, the race itself that builds up the numbers, the results.

In a way one is always alone, he , his thoughts his dreams. If a majority of outsiders/ society at large sees some benifit out of your success than you are a hero. They seldom even peep into your methods, the result is all that matters. If on the other hand your utility (for them) goes down or worse goes into negative, you will find yourself at the wrong end of the barrel, this is instantaneous.

What ever happens in your life, you, your soul, your process, your methods, your personality, your dreams are always going to be with you. People, relationships, unless you are very lucky to have real values based relationships, they will be fickle, once the stimuli is gone, it will start decaying. And your mind will create notions, theories to protect your conscience against this uglyness, the betrayal, its natural and to an extent necessary as well. Coming back to The results, well let the society bother about them, let the others take note of it, let the insignificant others take note of it. You should not worry about it.

This theory needs to be developed further, refined. I am discovering new reinforcing thoughts on these lines in day to day life.
