“We have to pay attention to what the child in our heart tells us. We must not allow this child to be scared because then the child is alone and is almost never heard.”
Last night, I was feeling really down because of diverse things. Sitting comfortably on my couch, I was thinking about the jagged era I am going through. Numerous issues were bothering me. Questions like- Will I ever be able to play at some Gig? Will I ever be able to strum “Hotel California” on my guitar? Am I on the right career trail?
Just when I was utterly lost in my thoughts, I clicked onto a “savior channel”. This was Cartoon Network. A cat was chasing a mouse with high bouts of dynamism. This cat never gave up, neither the mouse faltered running away. Yes, you got it right! It was our very own “Tom and Jerry”.
Examinaning their efforts, I thought, that how easily we, in our every day lives, give up on our dreams, the dreams which would give us gargantuan contentment. Everyday we leave our dwelling with a spanking new determination to accomplish something, with a resolve to achieve something King-Size. Alas, we give up so easily when faced with an unfavorable state of affairs. The vulnerable efforts perish long before the initial stages of a voyage, to Victory.
The Spirit of “Tom & Jerry” is of grand inspiration to all of us. Even when Tom is thrown down from a 1000 feet tall structure, still he manages to get up and proceed with his never ending Endeavour to chase Jerry. Correspondingly, Jerry, with his entire valor, tries to flee the courageous chase of Tom. It gave me immense motivation when I saw the “half tailed Tom” running after Jerry. He didn’t give up, He would never give up.
The clear message is “Never- Ever Give up on your dreams”

Another interpretation of the efforts of Tom and Jerry is to think of ways and methods of being ahead of your adversaries irrespective of how strong they may be. A mouse can never match the physical strength of a cat but does he give up? In fact he, more often than not, gets the better of the physically stronger adversary purely on the basis of thinking ahead of his rival. In any field, be it marketing, finance, general management or any aspect of life, be ahead of others in effort, thinking, action, initiative. Basic philosophy of Tom and Jerry is to be ahead of the other in thought and action. And of course, NEVER GIVE UP because you have not lost till you have lost.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous is your Anand Uncle
ReplyDeleteVery wonderfully quoted the cartoon. well even i wanted to say what your anonymous commentor number one says that no matter how big and massive the adversaries are important is never to accept defeat
ReplyDeleteUncle, Thank you for the brilliant elucidation of this piece of writing. Your explanation, beyond doubt, makes a lot of sense. I thoroughly agree when you state the logic of- finding ways and methods of being ahead of the adversaries irrespective of how strong they may be. Indisputably, Tom and Jerry exhibit a faultless illustration of the “Never say die” stance. Being ahead of our competitors in terms of actions and thoughts is indeed the finest Unique Selling Proposition.
