Even a Zero can be a Hero- 17-Nov-2008
I failed in my final year school examinations. At the campus interview, after finishing my college studies, I failed to make an impact on the organizers. There are many among us whining like this. They have not understood the fact: success is not an end and failure is not final.
A person may or may not have a comfortable life, education and refinement. But if he lacks it, it is a bad life. However, a person is rich, though he has no education or comforts, if he possesses it.
What is that it? It is the unshakeable, robust self-confidence. Self-confidence is the first step to progress, achievement and success. Self-confidence was the initial investment of the top leaders of earlier times. They accomplished and performed everything that the world thought to be impossible and unattainable using this tool. They march forward towards their goal doing the right thing at the right place with self-confidence as their watchword. Their everyday habit is rational positive thinking and right approach, success obviously becomes a continuous story. Self-confidence is a trait.
The seed of self-confidence is to have a healthy perspective about ones own self, about others, human life in general and also about the world. To improve self-confidence one has to think and act positively. A person who lacks self-confidence yesterday acquires it today. The need is self-awareness.
One should have an awareness that problems are part of life; they are the essence of life. Everyone should believe that an enormous power and potential lie within him. With the help of these, he should encounter the problems and challenges that cross his life and win over them with courage.
If a question is raised whether life is a garden or full of problems, the apt answer would be that it is a garden replete with problems. To say that life is full os suffereings is as wrong as saying that it is a bed of roses. Self-confidence is our unswerving and intimate friend when we are challenged with trials and tribulations in our life.
If a person is resolute and relentless in his work, nothing can stop him from attaining victory. His plan of action, intelligibility with dedication assure him success.
