Fortune Favours The Brave
Dear Friend,
Action embodied in one's effort is the real key to one's success as well as happiness. There is no success and resultant happiness without action. Sometimes action or effort may not produce the desired result but happiness and success can never come without action or effort. What is more, you can derive satisfaction and happiness in having done your best even though the results did not turn out to be as expected or desired. That is why it is said in the Gita, "Do your duty unmindful of the results."
No man can expect a very easy life and also, a very successful one at the same time. The rewards one gets in life are usually commensurate with the efforts one puts in. It is astonishing what intelligent effort can accomplish when channelised in the right direction. Success is not easy if it was, everyone would be successful. However, the success ladder is not as difficult to climb as it might seem. Each time we overcome an obstacle or solve a problem, the task we are attempting becomes easiser, till finally what once looked impossible becomes routine. Countless efforts by themselves, despite countless falls, imply the power to rise.
When we are at the bottomof the ladder, the top seems inaccessible and the obstacles to the top, insuperable. But they are not. The early conquests are the toughest. The more you succeed, the easier it becomes to do so, till eventually success grows into a habit. Thus success follows success. Nothing is impossible for a man with a purpose and the determination to persist with it. The world stands aside to let pass the man who knows whither he is going and steps out with confidence, courage and firm determination.
One of the ingredients that makes for success is hard work. But if you like and love your work, you will never find it hard or tiring or boring, no matter how long you happen to be at it. There is no substitute for hard work. Any knowledge you may acquire or any skill you may develop will be the result of consistent effort. No point in deluding yourself that success can be had easily or cheaply. Of course, hard work is not the sole or only ingredient in the recipe for success. There should be a purpose to all work, and a worthy goal at which to aim and advance. Never venture, never win, no risk, no gain. Fortune favours the brave. In life, we have to take bold decisions and take them quickly and thoughtfully.
One more 'mantra' for success in life is: never be dogmatic and stick to a career linked to your academic attainments alone, if you feel there are greener pastures for you to exploit your talent to your fullest advantage. Look, scores of doctors, engineers, etc., going in for the coveted Civil Services with remarkable success with some of them even opting for art subjects.
The same holds true in the case of the young Badminton sensation, Saina Nehwal. Though only 18 years old, she has earned the enviable title of "The most promising playesr of the year 2008" from the Badminton World Federation on December 8, 2008. She has earned this title by dint of her firm determination, hard labour, and constant endeavour. Her consistency is evident from her gradual growth as a player -- in 2003, she won a title at Czechoslovakia's Junior Open Badminton Championship and won Asia Satellite Badminton Championship in 2005 and 2006. In 2006, she won World Junior Badminton Championship also. On December 6, 2008 her name was included in the list of top 10 women Badminton players of the world. Her determination has given her the success she enjoys today. If she can achieve all this why cannot you?
Helping you in your bid to lead and succeed.
Yours sincerely,
