When life gets to Dire-Straits?
Wednesday 25th, June 2008
"My life is in dire-straits" means that you are in very dangerous and a precarious situation.. What could one do to come out of it?? This is a very difficult question to answer depending on the context.. But there is way out of everything.. You just have to start searching for the way out..

The feeling what you will be under when you are in dire-straits is exactly similar to what you feel when you are out on an adventurous ride in an Amusement Park or Bungee Jumping and you know your life might be at stake.. But then, in the end you will come out of it being happy right.. Same is the case.. You just have to enjoy being in that feeling knowing you will come out victorious in the end..

Life has many different lessons to offer.. You will learn the most important ones only when you have landed in trouble.. All of these lessons will come at a cost though.. Sometimes, the cost might be less and sometimes more.. You just have to feel that you have paid exactly the cost of the lesson that you have learnt.. Trust me, its really worth it.. Probably, after reading the whole article you might think you have learnt an important lesson.. But, trust me it won't be of much significance unless you have experienced it..

One lesson I have learnt and I want to share with all of you guys - " Money never comes easily.. If you think it will come easily, either someone is trying to fool you or you are trying to fool someone.. Both of them being equally bad.." Only when you work respectfully, will you earn money.. This advice was given by my brother when I was whining over the fact that I have a lot of debts.. I vow a million thanks to him for giving me this advice which I won't forget for the rest of my life..

You have to be really courageous and tough in your decision making to come out of the pit you have fallen into.. As they say - " When the going gets tough, the tough get going ".. Sometimes, it might be better if you wish to go deeper into the pit and learn some more important lessons in life before you get out of it.. My brother wanted me to go deeper since he had experienced the same after paying close to 40k as credit-card late payment fines and had learnt a good lesson..

Once you have come out of the pit you had fallen into, you will have come out fresh and more stronger than ever after learning all the important lessons of life.. You are now a tough guy who can tackle all the problems you might face in future..

One more lesson - " When life throws lemons at you, don't make a lemonade of it.. Just ask for some salt and Tequila.."

Hope you all learn those important lessons that life has to offer by being in dire-straits atleast once.. This is not a curse.. Trust me it's going to be fun.. Cya in dire-straits then..


Regards,
Kishan Chandranna
