Think, ponder, observe, decide and ACT

I am feeling Deprived (with Capital 'D'). The half glass theory has lost its charm and now i believe i should thrive for excellence. My limitations are only quasi, self created and can easily be conquered. At the moment i think instead of being a motor-mouth the best thing should be to talligate my own moves. Then i also realize that its foolish not to live without risks, afterall my best moments in life were when i was living on the edge, obviously some of the worse moments also came as a bi product. I think hard but without conclusions, just stray reflections and perspectivity is what finally dawns in my head.
The most cherished verse of Iqbal says so:
Khudi ko kar buland itna keh har taqdeer say pehlay
Khuda banday say khud poochay, bata teree raza kiya hai
(Construct your self esteem to such an extend that before every destiny move, God Himself asks Man, wish whatever you wish for!)*
I think this may be the most tortured verse of Iqbal, but the preceding verse is my favourite and conveys more than this one. This verse was formulated by Iqbal when the Atheism was enlightened moderation and Darwanians were celebrating their school's success.
Khiradmandon say kiya poochoon keh meree ibtada kiya hai
Mai to bus is fiqar mai rehta hoon keh meree inteha kiya hai
(Why should i ask the atheists about my origin 'start', i only ponder as to what my maximal absolute point would be!!!!)*
Hardworkers and men of action have only contributed to this world. Rest has only been an overweight on this planet. I am swinging like a pendulum between the two communities.
*The translation of these Urdu verses are not fully accurate, however it conveys all and as usual law gives me the patent rights and Musharraf has just recently signed the Intellectual Property Rights Ordinance.
