Never Give up

I am an optimist n can’t see persons getting discouraged by their failure.From the day CA result is out, I have read lot of pessimistic comments by the students n members of this site. After reading discussions over " Result is going down n down ". I am writing this to motivate them n achieve their goal.

Let’s start with a short story :

One day, a teacher was teaching a lesson to the class about never giving up and how history will remember those who never gave up.

She asked the students: "Did Abraham Lincoln ever give up?"

All the students replied, "No".

She asked them again, "Did Edison ever give up?"

Again the students replied, "No".

After mentioning couple of great heroes' names, she finally asked them, "Did Joe Doe give up?"

On that, all the students replied, "Who is Joe Doe?"

She said, "You don't know his name because he gave up."

Abraham Lincoln was told many times that he was nobody and could be nobody in life by the committee of 'they' (those critics whose names are not found in any history books). We have not yet seen nor found the statues erected for the critics who see only the negative aspects of everything. It's just the way people look at things, either with optimism or pessimism.

Thomas Alva Edison, inventor of  more than 1,000 useful items, once said: "Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up."

Edison never gave up on his dreams and goals.

You are the greatest miracle in the world. There is nothing that you can't achieve in life if you believe in it and do not waste your valuable time in destructive things. You are a walking, talking miracle. Just sit for few minutes and start counting the blessings you already have in your life, starting with: being alive, having eyes to look, a nose to breathe, ears to hear, a brain to think and the list goes on."

When one is determined and focused to accomplish something worthwhile, many obstacles and challenges will arise on the way. As long as the goal is crystal clear and mind is determined to get it done, nothing can stop him or her.

About Luck

Luck is defined as "Preparation meeting Opportunity". Abraham Lincoln believed in preparation before aiming at anything BIG and did whatever it took to get the dream accomplished.

So before we think there is nothing we can achieve that is useful, let's think twice, may be ten times, even a hundred or a thousand times
