"Happiness is found along the way, not at the end of the road.."
From ages literary scholars have explained life through the"Journey Theorem". In this theorem, life is compared to a journey, where human's achievements and failures mark the way of the journey covered so far. But where does this journey lead to? There is no absolute answer for it yet. Hence people are advised to concentrate on the "path" and the "happenings of the journey" instead of the destination. So can we say a journey successful without knowing what the correct destination was? If not, then what will define the end point? Despite of all these flaws, the "Journey Theorem" remains the most famous theorems of life...
One fine day, while these thoughts occupied my mind, I felt the need of a new theorem to explain life. While we have come up with several models to explain Higgs Boston particle before it's discovery, we have failed in building successful model for life that we are living. As an engineer, I was obliged to put up my theory. So here we go.
I think life should be compared to a Printed Circuit Board(PCB). For non engineers, i would like to reiterate that PCBs are boards on which electrical connectivity is 'printed' in copper. If you get a chance to see the mother board of your television, you would find that all electronic components are mounted on a board(usually green in color on one side). That board is a PCB.
Well, coming back to our theorem, living can be compared to making a PCB. The "path" that we have covered so far can be seen as trails of PCB. People coming to our life are like different electronic components. So, the ultimate aim is to build a gadget. There is no common aim for all. It's your life, so decide what gadget you want to make. Afterall, different gadgets have different PCBs. So in our PCB, different components are available. We have to decide which component do we want to 'embed' in our circuit and which we want to keep away. It's quite probable that you put some wrong component at some wrong place. So you can always decide to restructure your PCB in a way that the unwanted component gets out of the circuit. Or, if you want to 'reposition' any component, just desolder and place it at the correct point. Now compare this to wrong peoples in your life or people whom you gave wrong position in your life. Doesnt this explain that the power of driving your life to correct path is IN YOUR HANDS..!!!! :)
Moving on, a valid thought proposed by this 'PCB Model of Life' is that you never know what did you make of your life till the end. Isnt it true? People who know what they want from life, keep on building the correct circuit, embedding the correct components. So they are pretty sure what will they make at the end. For others, they just keep on making their circuit. So it is a surprise for them in the end. Later in life when they look back, they realise what could have been done better to make life useful.
And guess what's the best part.... Remember, we hear it many times that we should live our lives in a way that we are useful to our society and others. This is exactly what a gadget do. Can a machine be useful for itself? No. However, it's considered useful when it proves to be useful to others. So Aim of your PCB is to make a gadget for service to society. Now it's upto you in which way you want to be remembered as...
Like all theorems, I'm sure this theorem will also have it's pros and cons. So now, it's your time to give your valuable feedback and suggestions. Juggle your head and come up with your theory of life. So start commenting!! :)
