“Remember, life is a race. If you don’t run fast, you’ll get
trampled.”
— 3 Idiots
Ranchoddas Chanchad
Rancho had a full confidence of
life amidst the arduous pressure of college life. With a carefree attitude, he never cared about how much
life is pulling down on him, as long as he has the courage to stand up to Virus for himself, his friends, and Pia. He also has a passionate mindset about things.
His wisdom on pursuing one's passion really hits everybody a lot. Sometimes, I
ask myself how was Rancho able to top his class while maintaining a carefree
attitude. Simple, he loved engineering so much that he was able to gain himself
from it. He always helps a friend when it is needed.

All is well.
These engineers are very smart sir, they didn't invent a machine which can measure the pressure on the brain. If they had, we would have come to know that this was not a suicide but a Murder.
[Rancho mimicking Virus]Life is a race.. If you don't run fast.. You will be like a broken anda (egg)..

I never manage to plant the kiss dude... the nose comes in between.
I wasn't teaching you engineering, that you know better than me. I was teaching you how to teach.
Farhan, represents those who are being forced to choose what their parents wanted for
them instead of pursuing what they're passionate about. His admiration for Rancho was his personal key to talk and stand up to his father and become a wildlife photographer. Out of greater love for his parents, Farhan was able to convince his parents to let him pursue his dream. He became a successful wild
photographer authoring various photography books.

We learnt something about human behaviour that day, It feels bad when a friend fails, but it feels even worse when he comes first.
Rancho was right when he said "Pursue excellence, and success (Chateur) will follow, pants down!"
[narration] I've always been a law abiding citizen. But in the last 24 hours, I grounded an airplane, nearly flushed someone's remains down the toilet, and helped Pia escape her wedding. All for Rancho. He would've done the same for any of us, too, like stealing a copy of the final exam that was designed for Raju's failure.“Today my respect for that idiot shot up. Most of us went to college just for a degree. No degree meant no plum job, no pretty wife, no credit card, no social status. But none of this mattered to him, he was in college for the joy of learning, he never cared if he was first or last.”
Raju is the breadwinner of the Rastogi family, such that
the whole family is counting on him to rescue them from their woes. As such, he had to struggle with the poverty his family had suffered, with a paralyzed dad, murmuring mom and an unwed sister. Because of huge fear to fail his family's expectation , Raju was not able to concentrate, resulted to low grades and poor academic performance. But with
Rancho's help, he was able to overcome that fear, and became passionate in helping his family. He even had a prosperous life at the beginning of the film.

Sir, I have learnt to stand up on my feet after having broken both my legs. This attitude has come after great difficulty. No sir, I can't. You may keep your job, and let me keep my attitude.
It’s kooky, it’s fun, it’s colorful. It’s Bollywood. 3
Idiots is a fantastic tale about the strength of friendship even when everyone
starts new chapters in their lives. Like most Bollywood films, the duration is
quite long and stories that stretch can seem quite redundant and fall victim to
wandering aimlessly. 3 Idiots surprisingly isn’t that. This movie is packed
with emotional sensibility both high and low, and don’t forget the music! With
such energetic spirit that embodies Indian culture and musical identity, the
songs are almost unforgettable. You’ll find yourself humming the beat even
after you watch the movie. The plot is quite strong for a film that dons a
comedic genre, something rare these days. (tumblr.com)
Ok. So back to the ten lessons we can learn from 3 Idiots.
- To be born poor or as an average person is not a crime but to die as an average person with middle class talent is miserable and if you are unable to optimize your potentiality and die with unused potentiality then that is your shameful truth.
- One should not die as a mediocre. He/she has to bring out genius inside him/her and has to use his/her potentiality to the optimum level.
- Simplicity is way of life and Indian culture highly stresses on simple living and high thinking, and this is the way of life: ‘Legs down to earth and eyes looking beyond the sky’
- Necessity is mother of invention. Necessity creates pressure and forces you to invent something or to make it happen or to use your potentiality.
- When your hobby becomes your profession, the passion becomes your profession. You will be able to lead up to excellence in life. Satisfaction, Joy, Pleasure & love will be the outcome of the passion.
- Never run after success. Let it happen automatically in Life
- This one’s important. Live and live happily towards happiness.
- Learning is very simple. Never Stop.
