Success so eagerly and ardently sought by so many of us is not a matter of luck or genius as most of us think or believe. Success depends, to a great deal, on hard work, imagination, perserverance and pluck. If others can become great, earn name and fame, garner glory, power and wealth, you and I can also do so positively and definately. Have no doubt about it. If Lal Bahadur Shastri, Deve Gowda, Chandra Shekhar and Atal Bihari Vajpayee could become Prime Ministers of India, if Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan can become superstars and if Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and M.S. Dhoni can and earn crores of rupees through cricket, you and I also can. None of these who reached the top can boast of having been born with a silver spoon in his mouth or of a royal family background like Nehrus, Pataudis or Kapoors.
All things worth having can be had only with some effort and at some cost and sacrifice. The higher the stakes, in terms of effort, industry, time and toil, more abundant and lasting will be the results. We can be sure that there is no substitute for hard work when one desires success. To find diamonds and gold, you have to dig, sweat and search. To win the hand of your dream girl, you have to woo and prove yourself. If you want to top the list in an examination, you have to study, master the subjects and gain the knowledge and knowhow which guarantee super success.
Try, try and try again and keep trying again till you win. You are bound to win so long as you keep trying and do not yield, surrender or give up. Robert Bruce and Robin Hood learnt the moral by watching the spider which kept trying again and again despite countless falls, till at last it made it. Sage Markandeya, at his birth, was decreed to live only sixteen years but by his penance and efforts, he obtained the boon to live for ever. Princess Savitri was told that her husband Satyavan was destined to die within a year of their marriage but by her perservering efforts and persuasiveness she got the better of even Yama, the Lord of Death. The Bhil boy, Eklavya who was refused tutelage by Dronacharya for being a low-born, learnt archery hiding behind a bush to emerge a challenger to Arjuna-all through a dogged resolve to attain the denied knowledge. The passage of time has only reinforced the essence of this credo. Take the young speedster Ishant Sharma who emerged as the country's fastest bowler during the recent ODI tri-series in Australia. His outstanding performance as a bowler, who could bowl consistently at a breathtaking speed of 150 km/hour, fashioned victory for India against the World Champion Australia in the third Test at Perth. No doubt, it is his steel will and sincere dedication to his cherished goal that has made him a hero. For a scion of a lower middle class family in a peripheral Delhi colony, reaching this height of popularity and fame overnight was beyond any stretch of imagination. But Ishant, through his sheer perseverance and struggle, transformed his cherished dream into reality to become a cynosure of a vast pool of talented youngsters. His example is worth emulation for all those who believe that success--or fortune--smiles at only those who dare and act.
The motto 'Never Give Up' should be your watchword for success. Never give up for it is always wiser and better to hope than despair. Life is a game with a glorious prize only if you could play it right with determined grit. It is give and take, build and break, and often it may end in a bitter fight. But he surely wins who honestly tries with a little more persistence, courage, patience and willpower. Be up and doing, stay in the race and keep fighting and you will win as surely as day follows night.
With our very best efforts to help you lead and success......
