What makes you different?

What makes you YOU.

Long story short, here I am. Being a writer. Doing things I’d always love to do. Sharing my experiences of what I learnt.

Everything has shaped me. Friends who gave me their pens and journals. Best friends I never made. Crush that made me write poems while he didn’t care. Romances I’ve missed. Opportunity to become an editor or a news correspondent I missed. I think all this has made me the writer I am.

How do you have intercourse with a girl who can remember you for a long time?

"Life is a journey, not a destination. Enjoy the ride." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Become different not according to the world, but according to what you like and what you don’t.

Being different is being a weirdo. And being okay about it.

What's the most valuable lesson you've learned in life, and how has it impacted your journey so far?

Anxious to get a job, I chose to do what was socially recommended for me. So, I tried. Being a govt. servant. Failed. A Research Scholar. Didn’t make it. A Professor. Guess what?

Agree?

Don’t go to the gym because it’s a fitness fad.

When does a man tell a woman he has feelings for her?

If you’ve read this far, let me tell you one more thing.

Until the day I choose to listen to myself. I let my subconscious go wherever it wanted me to go. It was not just in dreams I wanted to live, but in real life. Not allowing others to cloud my personality, my ability, my inclination towards philosophy, knack to motivate others, and my indifference towards others’ opinions.

So, keep on experimenting.

Why is it common for guys to sleep with 10-20 women then marry a good girl?

Even if that means disappointing your parents and teachers for some time, but believe you’ll eventually make them feel proud.

Don’t drink because everybody does today.

Not ignoring emotions because they can be destructive. Not underestimating your aspirations because society calls them second-rate.

I told my 13-year-old daughter that she should never start a fight, but has my permission to end it. She got suspended for ending a fight that some other girl picked with her by hitting her then retreating. How do I handle the school’s response?

Don’t get a partner because you’re jealous of your friends.

You can be fearful and still use it to tame your weaknesses and build your emotional strength.

"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." - Oscar Wilde

He would have experienced the miracle called light. Maybe he got better food to eat. Then he got wounded. Then in search of balm, he travaled to the wilderness and found a party of rats, eaten to its heart’s content and danced the night out.

Do anything and everything because you like it. You love it. Do the things that make you go crazy. Things you’d barter your breath for. Things that make your life a rainbow.

What is the opposite personality type of someone with ASPD (antisocial personality disorder)?

You know how all of this enlightenment came to me.

I know being a writer is no different. But my journey is different. Its unique to me.

Neither I’m Tesla, who got poor grades in school, nor I’ve grown to invent electric current that powers many electronic devices today. Nor I’m an entrepreneur who is the idea behind the Tesla cars.

Hi, I’m Jo. My best friend died 2 years ago today. My husband died 6 months later. So, I’m a depressed mess (we were married 28 years) and can’t shake it. Even my Brother is worried. Some days I don’t do anything, and avoid men cause I don’t want to date. Any suggestions? Thanks for reading.

I experimented. A lot. And now I know I don't need more trials of this kind. I’m writing this today at just the right place from the comfort of my home while it rains outside. While a cold breeze rings music to my senses.

I am an ordinary human being with the same body structure as you who are reading, you and I have the same material of what our bodies and brains are made up of.

Honestly, there’s nothing that makes ‘me’ different.

How did you know you weren't the narc?

“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” - Lao Tzu

A govt. job could do it for me. Plus Money, plus security, plus prestige.

Otherwise, thank you for reading. It was fun writing to you all. Hope it helped you in more ways than one.

If babies could write, what questions would they ask on Quora?

Tried everything. A well-paying corporate job, govt. exams. Nothing provided me with security. I didn’t have time to myself. Hustling was my name. Didn’t go to parties, travel or anything. Didn’t talk to friends.

P.S. What’s your idea of being different? Do you have a different point of view?

Don’t choose to be an engineer just because it pays well.

Indeed, a number of other factors contribute to your uniqueness, but that’s for you to introspect.

Experiences: What has happened to me? Have I led a normal life with two parents and two siblings? Yes. Breakups I’ve had. Friends I’ve made. School I have attended. Guides I’ve met. Places I’ve been.

To take out these experiments, accept the asymmetry of your emotions, your eccentricities, aspirations and thoughts for what they actually are. Instead of filtering it through the social system, recognize the difference and apply it in your life.

Why do gun lovers think their right to own a weapon supercedes everyone else's right to be safe and not be shot?

Consider a rat who never came out of the hole fearing for his life. He stayed in the dark for years and died one day, unbeknownst.

Not because people show it off and you have to follow the lead.

I always yearned to go for government jobs because I had a few relatives already into it and doing well with money and security. And here is me, with an arts background, uncertain about what to choose.

What if he’d come outside?

I have always wanted to write things. Wrote poetry during my grad and reluctantly left it for preparation of a govt. exam because who’s got extra time for it.

Can you make it?

Experiments: My life has been a group of experiments that failed to take off until I resorted to writing.

Without experiments, is life worth it.

So, what actually makes us all different?

Take my word. You won’t regret it.

Being different is being okay with failure, so you know what the dessert of a win tastes like.
