Jam Jar

In this transition, each of us has become future-ready even before we thought of it, similarly, we have also obtained so many options unlatched. When we were kids, we all wanted to become a doctor, someday a lawyer, or maybe run a business or something. Skip to 20 years and you see different career choices right in front of you. The follow-up question is how does one know which career is best suited for them? So, I happened to recently read this book The Defining Decade by Meg Jay- which had a very beautiful case study I’d like to share. It is called the Jam experiment, so they choose a local grocery store to understand one's life choices. So, there were two conditions, one which has six flavors available for tasting, whereas in the second condition it has six plus the eighteen more flavors of jam. Cut to the chase study showed that the twenty-four-flavor table attracted more attention yet resulted in fewer buyers. Shoppers flocked to the exciting array, yet most became overwhelmed

Memories stay with us forever!

We come across so many people in our lives, sharing different equations with an individual. So many words spoken and unspoken, so many thoughts shared, so many emotions, so many memories, happiness, rejection, grief, and what not. 
Each of us would definitely have some of the notable memories with someone be it even a stranger. Such moments stay immortal with us it doesn't matter whether it was positive or negative. Times have been such that it could be with someone whom you are in touch or maybe lost contact, but it's memories that associates you. Nevertheless there might not be a logic behind why do you recall certain specific incident but it stays in your mind forever. 
We can either engrave the sweet memories and bury the painful in the grave and move on. I have seen people, who brood over the past, hence failing to make future it's victim. Some souvenir are such that you need to carry along with you, they become your shadows a part of yourself. Whereas they would never make you feel detached or alienate no matter what. 
Each of us have our concoction of life, which periodically are sweet/sour. From time to time you are not a part of it but it connects you on emotional wavelength.

After all it's a personal choice whether he would want to have a clean slate or have painful memories. Call up a friend whom you have lost touch or you need to talk, sought things out and cherish all good times and be grateful for who stuck by you, as world is a very beautiful place to live in.

Thank you, do let me know in the comments what you think of it.
