How to connect ...?

5 Happenings/Thoughts I came across in last few days. The question remains - how to relate all of them? I may be asked - why u want to relate them? I don't know.

1. Rajkumar Hirani launched his new film titled "3 Idiots", starring Aamir Khan, Madhavan, and Sharman Joshi, based on Chetan Bhagat's novel "5 point someone".
2. 4 friends started form the same reference point. 2 (X&Y) went ahead a bit as compared to other two (A&B) on first hurdle by successfully completing it. A always regarded this as "failure" at the back of his his mind. 6 years after that he came back with a bang and now with the same reference point he is way ahead of Y & B. X has been able to remain in the same league.
3. A blog of one of my college friends where he talked about "....if life came with a rear view mirror. To see how far is somebody whom you left behind. To see who's coming up to you. To maybe slow down a little at times......"- an awesome thought not easy to forget.
4. Who can be called successful? One who achieves what he wants to? One who do things differently and emerge as unique in his class? One who achieve fame?
5. You talk of choices either in two cases- you are master of many trades to make a choice out of them OR you are not even average in any of those trade to concentrate on that only.

Thoughtful thoughts.

With reference to the thought no. 4, I think there are two definitions of being successful. For the person whose success is being measured, it's achieving what he wanted to and for the rest of the world it's his position in his respective field(read his career). And the two sometimes don't match.

And regarding thought no. 3, I think everyone has a rear view mirror. But not everyone utilizes (or wants to utilize) it.
