There is nothing like "Over-night Success".
Behind every such success there is a hard work. Look around you,
successful people have a few things in common:
Dreams -
they have expectations from themselves and they want to be different from
rest of the crowd.
Self Confidence - in their abilities. They
know that they are capable to do anything.
Daring - they never
bothered about society and the thoughts / opinions of
others.
Patience - they were never in a hurry though aggressive
in their approach.
Focused - they had clear path for themselves;
they know what they were doing, where they are going and
why.
Enthusiasm - to carry-on in spite of failures and they had
the ability to bounce back. Every time they fall they bounced back they
gained greater heights.
Never say die attitude - nothing shakes
their resolve or disturbs their vision. They always play to
win.
Your life consists of more than commuting to and from your
workplace and sitting at your desk / computer. Your life involves more
than living through your head - it is about living from your heart.
We all had a dream. It involves 'growing up', some falling down
and too much listening to those who never made a difference to arrive at
the 'conclusion': "I cannot make a difference." Think for a moment, how
the world would be if all people had chosen not to strive for their dreams
and make a difference.
People like Martin Luther King, John
Kennedy, Mohan Das Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Mother Theresa...You may look
at these names and feel somewhat intimidated and be tempted to ask: "Can I
really make a difference? Is it worth the price I would have to pay?" It
is easier to live a compromised, mediocre life, hoping that someone else
makes a difference, while you read about it.
We all had and have
people in our life, telling us that dreams are for children, encouraging
us to 'grow-up'. Making a difference is like throwing a pebble in a pool.
The ripples spread from the centre to larger and larger circles of
influence. It begins within you.
Find your dream again. Shake off
the dust. Put it before you and say, "Hello, I'm back. " Get reacquainted.
Feel the energy, excitement, enthusiasm, fire and passion, overflowing
within, calling you to movement and action. Take a stance. Let people know
what you think and what you believe in, remembering the old phrase: "Stand
for something or fall for anything" - Words are not enough - let your
actions talk.
Making a difference challenges you to think and act
differently to be different. The word is a stage, we are simply players:
Let us brighten it. An altruistic act is a truly scared chant.
Success is not an hour's fruit. It is the outcome of passionate
dedication, sensitisation, conscientiousness, egalitarian outlook,
pluralistic, unbiased approach, multi-cultural perspective and strong
faith. It needs moral repugnance against injustice even when you are in
the complex web of relationships.
When life's largest pressures
leave you struck dumb, search for an answer; the solution will come. When
a tragedy occurs leaving you feeling numb, wait for your health; the
strength will come. When everyone relies on you and there is no way you
can see, trust your mind to think with time; patience is the key.
When you have made it where others always flee, wait to gather
courage; soon you'll be where you want to be. When it is nearing the end
and you're in need, muster up your courage; endurance will lead. IT WILL
COME.
