When I was young and studying in primary school I had countless desires in my brain.
The desire to become a teacher, and doctor and join the navy.
Desire to become a good teacher, homemaker mother.
However, I was not able to pinpoint which desire suited best to my #potential inside me.
The pool of desires was working in my mind. I was always swimming in that #chaotic pool.
After completing my schooling, one desire I fulfilled was to help my mother with household chores. I soon realized in this exercise I have become efficient in handling so many little things in life.
I found my desires are moving like Brownian motion.
My mother said” Please #focus on one desire and put your energy and time into filling that desire. You can’t get all your desires filled in one lifetime.”
I understood the concept of #channeling my favorite desire in one direction.
I was a science student at the secondary school level.
I fulfilled my other desire also which was should do my graduation and postgraduation degree from one of the best universities (Delhi) in India.
Another Desire I filled was to do a Ph.D from of good Institute in India.
I am thankful to my parents, respected teachers and friends who helped me in my journey of completing my most favorite desire.
I am teaching science in a post-graduate college. While teaching the concept of Brownian motion(Brownian motion is named after the Scottish botanist Robert Brown. He first observed and documented the random movement of particles suspended in a fluid, which is now known as Brownian motion). I give examples of desires traveling in our brain in the form of Brownian motion.
I tell my students "While desire in our brain is not exactly identical with Brownian motion of molecules in fluids there are some similarities:
Desires are #random. Molecule movement in fluids has Brownian motion is also random.
Every student has many random desires. The movement of a Brownian particle in fluids is #unpredictable, and so can be the manifestation of a desire.
Every student's desire is influenced by external factors like the environment the student is living in. How his/her friends are shaping their own life. Brownian motion in fluids is also influenced by the surrounding fluid, like external pressure and temperature of the fluid.

Desires in the mind of any person and the Brownian motion of fluid molecules are both complex phenomena. They can be analyzed using mathematical and #statistical tools.
To conclude while there's no direct, link between the Brownian motion of molecules in fluid and desire. Both can be viewed through the lens of stochastic behavior where outcomes are not predetermined but #influenced by randomness and uncertainty."
Students understand the nature of the concept of desire through this simple example. I am happy as a teacher that I can teach new abstract #concepts in science by taking real examples from life.
Moral: To fulfill your favorite desire in life best is to take a #break from your present job. That silent period will make you distant from your self. In the process, you will find a path for how to fulfill a required desire.
