How can we be successful ?

 

“Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.” –Thomas Edison.

 

Every successful person is remembered with great respect by this world. We all want to be successful in our life like them. But we forget that behind their success there lays a long stressful journey. They had to undergo much hardship as failures before reaching to their goals. Here is the difference between a successful & an unsuccessful person. We all want to pick up the rose but fear of the prickles below it.

We with great enthusiasm firstly take up a task & very soon cease to continue after facing a difficulty of failure. This is one type of a mental weakness now-a-days we are inflicted with. One who can win over this weakness with one’s perseverance is none but a successful one. If we are afraid of bees then how can we relish nectar with our heart’s content?

Fix the goal (of course the goal should be a reasonable one) & start your journey; stop not until the goal is achieved. The obstacles are the beauty of your journey path, face them, and enjoy them; if you stop your journey abruptly then the destination will be untouched.

The success is like that beautiful princess of the fairy tale who was captivated in a fortress high on hilltop of a lonely island; she was imprisoned there by a demon who always carried the key of the fortress with him. Hearing about the sorrowful story of that princess a young brave man who was the hero of the story, came to the island & fought with the fierce demon. The demon was killed & the princess was rescued from captivity. Thus the hero had happy life with the princess. You are the hero of your life; failure is the demon that you have to fight with to gain the princess as success. Do remember one thing – winners are not those who never fail, but those who never quit.

Sometimes we become disappointed out of our failure; hopelessness engulfs us as the darkness of night engulfs sun. We think that the only responsible for our failure is the time, we have defeated by our bad-time. Is sitting idle inactively will fetch good time for us?  We should remember that any kind of negativity in the form of laziness or inactivity will cost a negative shadow on our future. So, efforts must be carried on from our end with utmost zeal. Don’t be afraid of dark clouds in the sky, behind which the ever smiling sun is present.

A child in its early stage falls numerous times, but each time it falls, stands up again to walk & one time comes when it easily walks. A bee flies up to 5KM & visits more than 1000 flowers per day to collect nectar for its bee-hive. Our surrounding activities teach us how much we have to pay for our desired success.

 Once a disciple of a sage asked him, “Respected sir, have you seen the God?”

“Yes, I have seen as I am seeing you.”- replied the sage.

“Really! I also want to see him sir. Can you show me the almighty?” – eagerly asked the disciple.

“Why not, come with me.”, the sage firmly answered & took him to the nearby river.

They went straight into the chest-dip water, and then the sage suddenly held tight the neck of that man & dipped into the water for few seconds. The disciple was astonished with such kind of behavior of that holy man. He asked the sage gaspingly, “Sir, why did you do this?”

“What did you feel when your head was under water?” – smilingly asked the sage.

“I was out of breath; I was trying hard for life.”- said the disciple.

“Yes,such kind of effort & dedication are needed to see the God.”- the sage concluded.

 

So friend, now you have surely learnt what is needed to be successful in your life. I wish you all success & happiness in life. Only believe that ‘I Can’ & be happy. Lastly I would conclude giving you the information that Thomas Edison failed 1000 times before inventing electric bulb which is regarded as one of the top most inventions of the world.
