In
the hustle and bustle of the city everyone is just running after their dreams,
goals and whatever one might say, but how many are actually on the right track
to achieve their most coveted aspiration. Many are most of the times just
trying to outdo each other without realizing their actual goals. There is a lot
of competition in almost all the fields, but is the competition so fierce that
people are busier in surpassing others than achieving their own goals. The key
is to focus on your own goals and work with utmost sincerity, dedication and
assiduousness towards achieving it. Also, it is important to learn from the
mistakes we do, no one is perfect and each one is bound to make mistakes, but
it’s important that we don’t repeat them. Motivation also plays a pivotal role
here, some people have role models who inspire them and keep them going, they
try to imbibe the qualities of their idols and it’s indeed a very logical and
positive thing to do. On the other hand, we also have to accept the fact that there
are such super successful people who don’t have any idols or role models, they
are self-motivated and develop an inner strength or force that drive them. What is success? Can it be calculated in terms
of money you have or the power you possess to influence others ? But, I feel
success cannot be quantified or calculated in monetary terms. For instance if a
beggar gets a sum of 20 thousand rupees it would be a complete profusion for
him, if a middle class man gets it then it would be just good enough for him
,but if it goes to someone like Lakshmi Mittal then it would be only peanuts for
the billionaire industrialist . So, success can’t be quantified in terms of
money or for that matter in any materialistic expression, it is the progress in
life , your continuous augmentation in life. What you are today, 10 years down
the line you should be in a much better position in life, that will be your
growth ,your success. How important is education for success and in reaching
the ultimate goal in life? We all know that Dhirubhai Ambani was by no means an educated
person but was a real genius who changed the dynamics of the business world. We
have another example N.R Narayan Muthi who is an engineer started Infosys with
few of his engineer friends contributing their savings and we all know where
Infosys is today. They both turned super successful because of their
intelligence, attitude, right approach, meticulousness, pragmatism and the
ability to judge a situation, which is the key. So, I feel education is
important but judgment is of more importance, education can also hone you to
judge a situation. Life also teaches you a lot and with experience you learn,
however how quickly you learn is of great importance. How you adapt to
different conditions and utilize the available resources to your maximum
advantage will determine your success or failure. I would like to conclude by
saying that just focus on your dream and positively work towards achieving it.
