Day 4 - The failure of a half boil

Friends - again and again this point has been repeated by many scholars. Still I repeat. Because, if I repeat I could be considered to be a scholar. I was frustrated after reading my previous blog. It was too stupid. Hence I came up with this blog, one hour after completing the previous one. This blog is dedicated to the people who fail in life, those who fail in exams, those who fail in interviews and those who fail in anything, including those who fail to fail(dedicated to everybody basically).

Victory and loss, success and failure, love and hate, omelette and half boil, egg white and egg yolk are all two sides of the same coin. As human beings, we all understand this. What we don’t understand is which coin it is and which side each of them are? The difference between victory and loss, between success and failure is the same as that between omelette and half boil and that between egg white and egg yolk. An omelette is made up of the same egg as a half boil. But it has additional ingredients like onion, tomato, is beaten up a lot before becoming an omelette and is fried a longer time than a half boil. Success is like that. Though two persons might have the same potential, only if you work hard, work for more time will you achieve success.

However, people who think success is achievement, god save you!! You are wrong!! Since we have considered success as an omelette and failure as a half boil, we can prove this. Look at the difficulties in making a half boil.

1. The stove has to be heated at the right temperature. Otherwise either the half boil is half baked or 1.5(over) baked.

2. While breaking the egg we have to make sure that the egg yolk remains intact. This need not be the taken care of for an omelette because the omelette is anyway going to be beaten up again.

3. The egg yolk in a half boil needs to be at the center. Precautions have to be taken so that it symmetric. Otherwise it does not look beautiful. Omelettes never look beautiful.

4. Necessary care should be taken to make sure that the egg yolk does not burst. If it does it becomes a new dish and it no longer qualifies to be a half boil.

5. Taking the half boil from the stove is the most difficult step of making a half boil. Even experienced hands tend to make mistakes in this stage. Transfer of half boil from the stove to the plate and then from the plate to the mouth are complex processes than many manufacturing processes.

Now, one clearly understands that it is difficult to make a half boil than an omelette. Hence it is hereby concluded that it is difficult to fail than succeed. So those who fail should be given more marks and grades than those who succeed. They should not stop on failures but work hard to fail more and more. They should believe that they can fail. Self belief is very important if one has to fail. People who fail should motivate other people to fail.

Leo da Mirci once in his inaugural address in the University of Mesopotamia in 1845 said ‘Sisters and brothers of Mesopotamia!! Life is a play. We are all players in it. We play music and at the same time we play football. Musicians play for films which are shown in a cinema theater and football players get injured and go to an operation theater. Life is therefore a game played between musicians and football players in theaters.’
I hope that the students of the University of Mesopotamia understood the meaning of these words, applied it in their lives and failed so that they could achieve something in life.
