DARE TO EXPLORE!!!


“Challenge is a part of life- take it in stride knowing that you will win most of the time, lose some of the time, but become a better person either way for having tried.”

SUCCESS! The keyword that drives a person towards trying! True indeed!

Are winners born or created? Is it the spark within a man that forces him to participate or is it the lust, the greed that tempts him to give a TRY. Can we imagine a life without electricity? No matter how romantic candle light dinners are, without Thomas Edison’s great invention life would not have been the same. Thus, it is the spirit of participation, the urge to initiate an experiment, the zeal of winning that sets a person apart from the crowd.

The beaming glitter in the eyes of the winner is a result of his initiative to participate. Holding oneself back is a common phenomenon observed in people because of which we lose the opportunity to be acquainted with some of the greatest talents.

“At the start of your career, what you learn is more important than what you earn.” To learn one has to shed his inhibitions and EXPLORE. Explore within him and grab the opportunities around him. It is often the passiveness of a person that leads to his destruction, the destruction of his abilities and confidence. The criticism of the crowd often kills the applause of the audience!
In todays scenario it is the survival of the fittest and to prove it one has to take the pledge. Those who take initiative initiate revolutions, of the mind, the soul and the system.

"If you are ready to criticize a system, be equally ready to offer assistance to improve it." Had our freedom fighters been complacent we would not be enjoying the fruits of a sovereign, secular and democratic country. Business empires are created right in the mind and it would be useless if it would not be followed by actualization of dreams. We often tend to become lethargic, we try to blame the system, complain about what we are not satisfied. However, the question that arises is WHO will initiate change? The government, the system, the preacher, the religion, the society, the businessperson or is it the almighty ‘I’. We cannot deny the fact that all this is an amalgamation of individuals. Before expecting others to change, we should change ourself. In our small way we can contribute to our nation by taking just one step forward and the road ahead would be worthy of that extra bit.

In the dawn of New Year, let us resolve to make ourselves better. It is neither that tough nor that easy. Instead of taking the back seat, let us take control of the steering. Let us experience the immense satisfaction we can enjoy by giving things a try and success would follow- sooner or later!

‘I WILL TRY’ has done wonders.

The world would be a better place to live in if we try changing one thing, 'OURSELF'.
