“By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail”. This was so very rightly quoted by Benjamin Franklin where he tried to remove the blurred veils in front of every eye believing that success is just the matter of destiny. Our life gives us numerous opportunities to make the best out of it and in order to do that we set certain goals that are to be accomplished. But always keep in mind that setting high goals, just incessantly talking about them is not enough, pouring our heart and soul to realize them is the most important thing. Many a times we see people talking about their goals and achieving them but try to remember the times where the small steps which will lead us there were discussed! We just imagine what life will be like when we will get what we want, it will be the golden period. But we all are doing it wrong. Instead of regarding the goal accomplished period as the golden one, the period in which we will be preparing for that must be called as the golden period. Let us just take an example of war, though wars are termed negative but we have to fucus on the positive things we get to learn through them. In the situation of a war, there are always a series of events which are essentially meant to be followed. First of all, it is announced and the responsible authorities plan the things like the weapons, position of soldiers and others and tend to follow them, they do not haphazardly run into the war grounds without deciding and planning anything. These are the rules which are followed till now also. Similar is the case with our success also. Without proper planning and understanding, it is nothing!
Daniel Chidiac in his famous book ‘Who Says You can’t? You Do’ said that “Without enjoying the process, there is no success in what you do”. This is totally correct in all the spheres of life. No matter how hard the path to success is, if we prep for it while having a positive charge inside of our beautiful souls, no doubt success will be touching our feet in the near future. This is common human nature that he/she always crave for something which come to them directly without putting any efforts but this is not what life is my friend! If you want to live to the fullest it will obviously ask you for your efforts and trust me if you do something with all your dedication and interest, the result can never get negative. In the end, there will be a big smile reaching to your ears. It will be of assurance that you actually did something which was worth giving to your amazing life!
In order to do something big, one has to start from taking small steps only. There will be times where you will feel hopeless and things getting out of your reach. These will be the crucial testing times which will decide your future self. They will teach you many things which you have not thought about and once you start accepting the ordeals with open arms always trying to find the solution with a positive attitude, success will not be far away. Remember failures are also included as the paths toward success. Just that one must not lose hope and always keep trying no matter how many times you fail. When one is well organized and has properly planned the things, with so much preparation, one does not lose focus of his/her goals and objectives even when the going gets tough. In all, one must be ready to face the challenges coming their way. “Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration. Accordingly, a ‘genius’ is often merely a talented person who has done all of his or her homework”. – Thomas Edison. So, complete your homework as is it the boarding ticket of the train which completes the journey of your life!
