the Jack Bauer way

to any of u guys who does not know jack bauer, lemme introduce jack bauer, no he is not a self improvement fellow or some spiritual leader, jack bauer is a fictional character, he is the hero of the 24 series.

i love 24, i dont need to tell u that anymore, anyone who knows me, know that i hv totally avoided and social outings and gatherings cuz i wanna watch 24 and i dont wanna be bugged by anyone, even my mom. u can be sure, that if i call any of my friends now, the first thing they are gonna say "suraj!! where the hell have u been man!!"

now, i have learnt alot of things from this jack bauer guy.

jack bauer is tough, not physically, he is not some muscular action hero like rambo or terminator, no he is just a father who is in his like late thirtiest probably, average guy who happens to be a federal agent working for CTU.

but this guy has got brains, he is a risk taker and he is very brave.

one thing i have learnt from 24 is how we survive in a tough working environment, like the ctu headquarters, how to survive in such a tough office, i can really relate to jack's daughter, kim, who starts working for the ctu at the 3rd season, i was just like her when i started working, and was a very confused person, and i did get some resentment from other collegues but i survived.

and from jack, i have learnt some few good pointers about negotiating (jack bauer really knows how to talk sternly and get to the point, i love the way he talks), i have learnt that if u wanna be something, sometimes (infact alot of times) u shud NOT play by the book, i mean half of the things he does is totally against the rule, he is the one who breaks most of the rules basically, but any of u who watches 24 would agree with me if i say that he is the guy who brings the most results.

i have learnt how to live in a tough environment from 24...

if i think about it, its really weird how help coems from the most unexpected sources, i mean, all this self improvement and spiritual books, i have to be honest, they gave some really good pointers, i enjoy reading them, but hardly any good even came of them, 24 was intended for mere entertainment, but man, it definitely turned out to be more than that huh ?
