This is one of the best article I have read in weeks.
Life is about "karma" and not associating you to the results. Mr. Linus Torvalds never made a "goal" to make linux run in every server on this planet. I don't know what is his real inspiration behind working on Linux, But one thing is clear that he succeeded. Everybody has his own reason to follow his/her path.
Sometimes we don't even have a reason. We just go with the flow and keep learning what life gives us. Just by keeping our direction right in the flow, we will eventually reach our "goal". If we keep looking at the goals, we will never be able to look at our rocky path and eventually fall down. Making goals is wise. But sticking yourself to its result isn't.
Every work we do is our karma. Writing this is also a karma. I'm not talking about HN "karma", but real karma. It is about sharing my views with the community. I learn from the community, so maybe someone will learn from me. This is how community works. Thats my karma.
The word karma gained popularity from this famous verse of Bhagavad Gita :
karmany evadhikaras te
ma phalesu kadachana
ma karma-phala-hetur bhur
ma te sango ’stv akarmani
It means :
You have a right to perform your prescribed duty, but you are not entitled to the fruits of action. Never consider yourself the cause of the results of your activities, and never be attached to not doing your duty.
I am just gonna conclude this with board that I recently saw in Apple's recent iPhone event.
