Recently I visited to one of my friend's place and in a conversation I just quoted: "Live your life in widescreen". After that I started thinking upon it and here follows my comprehension to my own quote: Live your life in WIDESCREEN.
Initially, I quoted it as for someone who has lots of assets and almost no liability, but then I realized that it would rather be “having life in widescreen” and not “living life in widescreen”, which still can be narrow and particular. So what shall be "living life in widescreen"???
As per my understanding, everyone in this world has 24 hours in a day, 7 days in a week, 52 weeks in a year (and so on...) and it is so definite that it can never be altered to favor or un-favor anyone. In simple words everyone has same amount of time in a day to do whatever she/he wants to and can do. There are certain things everyone has to do to survive and all others are choices. Those choices can be as overwhelming as to fulfill the dreams ever seen or as circumstantial as one would never want to do. Living life in widescreen, to my comprehension, means widening scope of activities* to accommodate all those ones into your life that may contribute to obtaining those dream options that you might have ever wanted to choose; along with living life in a normal mode that involves maintaining health, wealth and relationships with all dignity/integrity associated with these. (*-> activities/thoughts/pursuance)
To illustrate further I'm putting an example (in terms of activities) of a person who goes to work 5/6 days a week and works 8 hours a day. She/he can do the following things on a working day:
• 8 hours of sound sleep.
• 8 hours of dedicated work.
• 1 hour of getting ready for the day.
• 1 hour of commute to and from work.
• 1 hour for lunch + dinner.
• 1 hour of social gathering (via connection, mail, phone, email, chat etc).
• 1 hour for general awareness (news, magazines, journals, etc).
• 1 hour exclusive for family.
• 1 hour for studies/experiments to enhance career.
• 1 hour for relaxation/entertainment/exercise.
• 1 hour for the particular one that may contribute to fulfill the dreams/ambitions.
*Noticeably, all above numbers add to 25 hours instead of 24 in a day. I’ve put it this way so that one can choose any eight of nine available 1 hour options depending upon her/his priorities, convenience and motivations.
On a similar note, one can arrange her/his holidays as following:
• 8 hours of sound sleep.
• 1 hour of getting ready for the day.
• 1 hour for lunch + dinner.
• 3 hours of social gathering (via meets, mails, emails, phone, chat etc).
• 1 hour for general awareness (news, magazines, journals, etc).
• 3 hours exclusive for family.
• 2 hours of volunteering / helping others (people around, community, society, friends, relatives, etc).
• 2 hours for the particular one that may contribute to fulfill the dreams/ambitions.
• 3 hours for ?*
* There are still three hours left for doing whatever one may or would like to do, i.e. contributing to finishing any pending task, planning for future, recreation, entertainment, etc.
This way, I’ve just illustrated my comprehension of “living life in widescreen” in one measurable aspect that is “time”, and for just one particular classification of people… “Office going working class people”, but there can be many number of aspects and also many number of classifications.
I hope I've been able to depict what I understand by the quote: "Live your life in WIDESCREEN". Please feel free to contribute your comments and suggestions on this.
