Name

Shakespeare said, "What's in a name?" Someone said, "If there was nothing in a name then why to keep a name?" I say, "There are so many things to bother about, what difference it makes if we add one more to the list?" So the journey of name begins with the first step we have in the world or may be even before and the way it shapes it's life is dependent on some one else, you. Yes we are responsible for the life of our name. We may burn the midnight lamps to make a success for our names or we may end up making it lose the battle of existence.

It takes a lot to add meaning to our name and just takes a snap to shatter it. This is something what everyone knows. But we tend to forget that in doing that are we missing on something. Think hard and you will get to what I want you to arrive at.
Yes, in trying to build an existence for our name we end up killing our own existence. The more we sacrifice our being the more we are able to add value to our name. Is it worth it? We may not have an answer to this, but I am sure you will agree that it depends upon the objective of the individual. For a few making a name is the sole purpose of their existence. While for others name matters only if it holds any importance or else they are happy with their own life. Now, if there are only two types of people it is definately not an easy task to have a defined
objective.

For me, there are another set of people. They dream and dream to make names of their loved ones or make name for their loved ones. These people are certainly those who are ready to chase the life and any challenge that they come around. More than
that, often they are carried away by emotional objective than sensible approach.

So now I guess all of us will agree with why Shakespeare was stuck with "To be or not to be".
