Life's Learnings from 3 Idiots


This has been sent by my student, James George as well as by my friend, Vipul Haria. It had been originally prepared by GMR Industries Ltd. highlighting a message - learning from each individual shots in the movie.

1. Never try to be successful, pursue excellence Success is the bye product and the result
 Excellence always creates success and it is a process of continual improvement
 Never run after success
 Let it happen automatically in life



2. Freedom to Life - Life is beautiful Don’t die before the actual death
 Live every moment to the fullest as if today is the last day
 Life is gifted to humankind to live
 Live and live happily towards happiness

3. Passion leads to Excellence When your hobby becomes your profession , the passion becomes your profession
 You will be able to lead up to excellence in life
 Satisfaction, joy, pleasure and love will be the outcome of the passion
 Following your passion for years, you will surely become somebody one day

4. Learning is very simple - Never stopBe humble
Teachers do fail, learners never fail
 Learning is never complicated or difficult
 Learning is always possible whatever rules you apply




5. Pressure at head The current education system is developing pressure on the student's head
 University intelligence is useful and making some impact on life; but it cannot be
at the cost of life

6. Life is management of emotions and not optimization of intelligence Memory and regular study have definite value and it always helps you in leading a
life.
 You are able to survive even if you can make some mark in the path of the life.
 With artificial intelligence, you can survive and win but you cannot prove yourself to be a genius.
 Therefore, in this process genius dies in you



7. Necessity is the mother ofinvention Necessity creates pressure and forces you to invent something or to make it happen or to use your potentiality.
 Aamir Khan in this film is able to prove by using vacuum pump at the last moment.


8. Simplicity in life Life is need based never want based. Desires have no end.
 Simplicity is a way of life and Indian culture highly stresses on simple living and high
thinking and this is the way of life: ‘Legs down to earth and eyes looking beyond
the sky’


9. Industrial Leadership The Dean of the institute is showing a very typical leadership. He has his own principles, values and ideology, and he leads the whole institute accordingly.
 This is an example of current institutional leadership. In the present scenario, most of the institutes are fixed in a block or squarish thinking


10. Love is time and space free Trust your partner
 Love is not time bound and space bound.
 It is very well demonstrated in this movie. The same love was demonstrated by Krishna and Meera.
 Love is border free, time free, unconditional and space free.

11. Importance of words in communication If communication dies, everything dies.
 Each word has impact and value in communication.
 One word if used wrongly or emphasized wrongly or paused at a wrong place in communication, what effect it creates and how is it affected, is demonstrated very well in this movie.

12. Mediocrity is penalized A middle class family or average talent or average institute is going to suffer and has to pay maximum price in their lives if they do not upgrade their living standards.
 To be born poor or as an average person is not a crime but to die as an average person with middle class talent is miserable and if you are unable to optimize your potentiality and die with unused potentiality then that is your shameful truth.
 One should not die as a mediocre. He/she has to bring out the genius inside him/her and has to use his/her potentiality to the optimum level


Seek excellence and success will follow

It is a fact that the number of students below average far outnumber those above it. But it would not be correct to say that they do not know the meaning of excellence and success.

And if they want to be cricket players or movie stars so what is the problem. Talent is a time tested skill which appear very early in life. If they have it in them that is what they should be doing.

The message from the movie is more important to us than where it has been shot.

They need people to guide them in their formative years. People who can keep them on track and know what is good or bad for them.

But the unfortunate part is all of them want their children to be engineers, doctors or CAs. Not a wild life photographer which will make a son and his parents far happier in life.
