Positivity in Chetan Bhagat: An Essential Credential
Keywords:
2 States, Money, Life, Youth, PositivityAbstract
Bhagat suggests that it is your life and none has the right to take a decision on your behalf. You better know about your potential. The simple thing required that one should have in life, is a positive attitude towards things or situation in life. Bhagat is known to have the endless positive energy. Krish in 2 States makes it clear that there are positive thoughts somewhere in people’s heads all the time. But somehow, even one negative thought will crowd them out. Maybe it is an evolutionary mechanism so they can focus on the problem at hand rather than rejoice in all things wonderful. But it makes life a bitch, as good memories have to make space for the next pain in the neck item. And what does one gain by losing sleep? Enjoy every moment of your life as it is not going to repeat. You are not watching any movie that can be reversed or forwarded as per the need of the hour. Always try to be happy – this is the message that Bhagat is trying to spread through his creative writings. Govind in The 3 Mistakes of My Life praises his friends as they are full of enthusiasm and energy to live a fuller life.
