It is a short essay on being obsessed with something to the extent that you would do anything to achieve it. Because you are crazy about it. This essay is based on late Mr. Steve Job's quote : Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. ........ Although this quote forms one of the foundational arguments in this essay, it also tries to understand what is this illusive element that offers few men and women the exceptionally highest form of endurance. Driving them to seek and claim the heights that have never been pursued before. One reason, why in this essay I have referred to the plane carrying rugby players that had crashed in the Andes in 1972.  Most of the passengers had died in this plane crash, but quite a few had survived and challenged the harsh climate of the Andes. "Challenged it!" Yes that is correct, because they managed to survive the bitter and freezing cold for 60 days, with almost nothing to eat or keep them warm. So, what was it that kept them alive and kept them hoping that they will make it through? Somehow and anyhow! To know whether Gods helped them or it was their will that helped them, please read this short essay.

LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE: TEN INSPIRATIONAL LESSONS FROM MANDELA'S LIFE by JakkyBee
11 parts Complete
INTRODUCTION Nelson "Madiba" Mandela without doubt is one of the most inspiring figures to have lived on this earth. Although he wasn't some great general, inventor or founder of a religious faith, Mandela embodied the greatness of the human being. Rising above dire social, political and human limitations, Mandela showed that anyone with a simple belief and commitment to that belief can become great. With many examples of bad leadership, pervasive poverty and corruption, there is seemingly little that is inspiring about the African continent for many young African like me. Yet all over the continent, there are good people who by the example of their commitment to doing their best, continue to serve as inspiration for their families and communities. Nelson Mandela is one of such. By his beliefs and actions, Mandela and countless Africans show that anyone irrespective of their background can rise above any limitations to become great. Sacrificing the usual trappings of a normal life; freedom, family and personal comfort, Mandela spent 27 years in prison for daring to live up to his beliefs, speaking up for and insisting on the rights of other black South Africans. He underscores the importance of personal courage and sacrifice in the pursuit of our ideals and visions. Mandela's actions teach us to that it is our right and responsibility to live a truly authentic, vibrant and purposeful life. He teaches us to stay true to who we are, stretch the boundaries of personal limitations and social restrictions in order to live our best life. Gleaned from the example of his life, the ten lessons (plus one) in this e-book will inspire you to be the best version of yourself and live the life you were meant to live.

'No, he didn't'. I was so shocked by the turn of events. Everything was going fine and then suddenly boom, everything turned upside down. I just couldn't believe this. What did he think of himself? 'Leave me alone.' I said firmly but his hold on me was so strong. I was struggling to get out of his bear hold but to no avail. 'Oh!! So, the poor lady thinks that I will leave her alone and just let her go free?' He had that evil laugh and boy, his breath stank. 'Man, you just signed your death warrant and I will do one favour on you.' No one messes with me. 'Ooooh, I am so scared that I almost peed my pants.' Again that idiotic laugh. I counted till 5 and then kicked right in his balls. I turned around and grabbed his hair from roots, jerked them so badly and then gave my hard elbow shot on his chin. Everything happened so fast for one moment he was standing and the other lying on floor wiggling. I charged at him with my cheetah speed, picked up a wooden rod and started hitting him wildly, 'You idiotic stinky breath was trying to steal my backpack. You are so dead.' 'Favour, favour, favour.' He was screaming in pain just after few seconds and was panting hard. I picked my paste from my bag and threw at him, 'Brush your teeth.' I was fuming. I turned around and saw him standing wide-eyed, 'Hi, I am Scarlett.' I smiled showing my 32 teeth. 'I am scared.' His look puzzled me.

This book is based upon this beautiful quote. "Do what you love,don't love what you do." You see, you have two options in life: 1. Do what others are doing and finally become like them. 2. Do something you enjoy. But doing something of your choice isn't easy. You face criticism from your friends and family, you are mocked by the small minded ones, you take risks and fail due to which you may get demotivated and it's absolutely sure that you'll be alone on that path. But you if are determined to just do it no matter how many times you fail, you will succeed and everyone who mocked you or demoralized you will come looking for you. This whole story revolves around this one thought. How a college going boy decides to do the things his way and gets the success he deserves in end.
