Some Random Unanswered Questions

When I am faced with no intellectual activity, I tend to keep thinking of something or the other. One of the usual thoughts is, ‘Every face has 2 eyes, 1 nose, 2 ears, a pair of lips, and so on. The essential components of a human face are the same. Yet how is it possible that there are so many millions of unique faces floating around? I tend to notice faces a lot when am travelling alone, yet rarely have I seen a face that is similar to a face I know.’
Another thought that comes to my mind is that, ‘What separates the men who are successful from those who aren’t? If we divide our life into stages, like high school, intermediate college, graduation, post-graduation, then working life and so on, we’ll see that there are certain individuals who do very well in a particular stage, but don’t do so well in the next. And there are individuals who consistently outperform, and those who consistently underperform. So what is it that separates the successful ones from the also-rans?’ Some say its luck, or at-the-right-place-at-the-right-time factor, or plain sheer hard work, or stealth, or maybe a combination of the above factors! Anyway, since am not too experienced, I’ll try to answer this question in my own way when I gain more wisdom ( ie. more white hair ! ).
Questions like these come up in every mind at some point of time, but usually we do not have time to sit back and ponder. But the problem is, even if we sit back and ponder, there’s no answer to these questions, so they remain unanswered, and hence, all this “intellectual activity” seems to be futile in the end!!
