No matter what people say, Success and praise are two things that matter most to any human being. In today’s rat race everyone wants to succeed no matter how. Sad thing about this situation is that definition of success has changed long way. Today by success what one expects is, he has to beat the others. No one seems to be striving for achieving perfection or self evolution. Like in today’s education system right from childhood a student is said to be clever if he manages to score more than others. It’s true that everyone needs money and that’s why one thinks about overtaking others. Paulo Coelho puts it so rightly in his best seller “The Alchemist” that “No one can become Alchemist if he is just looking for an invention which would turn iron into gold. It’s a process of evolution where gold is the ultimate state. During evolution he has to evolve himself along with things around him and then only he could achieve alchemy.”
During learning to ride bicycle people keep saying don’t worry about falls it’s failures through which you learn. I don’t believe in this philosophy. Why think about failures. Definitely failures are inevitable part of life. Yet it’s initial mind set I am talking about. As Robin Sharma says, “It’s initial steps that count, the power of start.” So now I would modify initial statement as “Learning to ride bicycle is not about falling but rising again no matter how many times you fall.” Don’t even think about missed chances as failures but look at them as stepping stones. It’s not failures through which one learns but it’s the mind set.
There are people who want to be successful at any cost. Also there are some who are not sure about themselves they also want to succeed but they think about failures first and lose their fire. Then there is this third kind who keeps doing things that they believe is right staying loyal to their heart. They believe in famous verse, “KARMANYE VADHIKARASTE MA FALESHU KADACHAN.” I would like to mention J.R.D. Tata. Tata industries is a firm who does think about coworkers and as mentioned earlier they evolve themselves along with people around them. It’s this third kind due to which the world evolves!
