SUCCESS OVER FAILURE

Folks, it seems our blog is growing bigger and bigger with time. It would not have been possible without your contribution. I have the feeling of Euphoria when I check the stats and I find readers from all over the world reading our posts from different platforms. Be it android device or an IOS. Indeed I agree with you Firoz. They have changed the whole meaning of life and have made this world smaller.

I would like to share a small instance from my school days. I was really very weak in Mathematics. Highest did I get was a mere 35%. And there it came  the Parent Teachers Meet. Where I usually kept my fingers crossed when my dad had to meet the Maths teacher. Obviously yes, the teacher used to complain about me. To his remark, after coming out of the classroom. 
My father used to say- "Oh.. I don't care what that idiot was talking all about, I know your Potential and I know you would get better scores next time. Please do not get bogged down."

I knew it was hard-pressed to comment like that. I used to be happy at that point of time as he spared me. But do you know why he used to say that???
He said it just to boost up my confidence level and cheer me up. And also he saw a potential in me, which I' am still figuring out with myself. It was enough to learn from a successful person like him.

So, confidence is one of the pillars of success. Half the battle itself is won if you are confident and ascertain whats right or wrong. Success can never be achieved in a fortnight. "Rome was not built in a day". It takes time and perseverance. Proper and effective planning needs to be ensured.
I remember a very strong quote by Dr. Abdul Kalam- "Difficulties in your life do not come to destroy you, but to help you realise your hidden potential and power. Let difficulties know that you too are difficult". 
So, the mantra here is very simple. "No Pain, No Gain". One has to suffer tremendous labour and hardwork to achieve success. Hence, Persistent determination leads to success.

Success to me is Correct decision at correct time. Time has got a lot of role to play here. Many of us must have made a blunder in choosing the streams during graduation. It is now we realize the fact that, " what if I had taken up science, I would have been an Engineer, Had I taken up commerce I would have been a Chartered Accountant and Blah Blah Blah!!! Who Cares? People just see the results. And Why Am I thinking about people too? Do I really care? No, I don't. Success is just competing within yourself leaving all odds out. Its learning from the past failures. Contemplating and making amendments in the past mistakes.

People say- "Failure is the stepping stone to success", whereas in my words "Success is building Castles with Stones". So, here comes the never bog down situation. Step up the stones but not sleep on the stones.

 Know Youself- Half the Marathon is already over if we know ourselves in detail. Knowing our Strengths and weakness. Our likes and dislikes, our objectives and goals. The very moment we know all these, we are successful.

The ball is in our court, yes it is and I mean it. Its never too late. We just need to maneuver our present to the path that leads  to our glorious future and reach the summit. 

Friends, Its high time now that we need to revive and explore our strengths. Somewhere, there is a threshold that needs to be understood. Perhaps it is the perfect time to trigger our potential and show the whole world our worth.
