Because there is NO DIFFERENCE in 'winning everything' and in 'not giving up till the end'... (क्योंकि 'सब कुछ जीत लेने' और 'अंत तक हार न मानने' में कोई फर्क नहीं है...)


1. It was the winter of 1990; A 20-years old Sri-Lankan youth was ready to make his debut against India in national cricket after batting with a bang in first class cricket. But, what is this? He got out at zero in both the innings and was dropped from the team by the selectors. After this he went straight to the nets and sweated day and night. He got the next chance after a full 21 months but the result was not favorable this time also. This time also he could score only 1 run by combining both the innings. After remaining out of the team for 17 months again, he got the next chance and once again he got out at zero in both the innings.

After such a situation, the patience of anyone would have answered; Anyone would surrender; But the greatness of great people lies in not doubting their journey. Through constant struggle and belief in himself, he scales the toughest paths.

The batsman was once again selected in the national team after next 3 years of continuous struggle and after that his career is recorded in history. 6 Double Centuries, Over 5000 Test Runs, Leading Your Country etc! This 'Don't Give Up' story is of Marvan Atapattu; Rather say it belongs to everyone who refuses to give up!




"Whether thousands of storms fall, lakhs of storms rise

Those flowers that are about to bloom, will bloom"

 

Who doesn't like success! Who doesn't get distracted by failure! But, the person who accepts failure graciously; Constantly refers to his shortcomings, improves and invests his all diligently, he is sure to get success. Gradually measuring your growth, nurturing it and maintaining your faith is the key to success.

"You can never guarantee the results,

But you can always guarantee the efforts."


2. We can also understand the struggle-journey of success from the life-journey of 'Chinese Bamboo'. If you sow its seeds and even after giving fertilizer and water throughout the year, it does not show any growth, then you get upset; This trouble and fret goes on for 4-5 years because it doesn't show any growth! In the 5th year, the fruits of your hard work start coming and right in front of the eye this 'Chinese-bamboo' grows above 90 feet.



The same is truth of life. Life also surprises you in the same way. If you keep on struggling while working hard, suddenly one day the results start coming and then this chain starts and you feel that your struggle journey is complete.


** Keep going! Keep learning! Keep trying from where you are! Make the little moments count! Have faith in yourself! Be humble! And then one day you will find that the darkness is slowly dissipating, you are entering in the light and your life is getting easier, and you have been able to find the meaning of your being!!!



According to Kunwar Narayan :-


How clear it meant to move forward

if the ten directions were in front of us,

not around us.

How easy it was to walk

if only we could walk

everything else would have stopped.


I have often made this bustling world

in trying to think with ten heads and to receive with twenty hands

very difficult for myself.


This is what everyone wants in the beginning

that everything starts from the beginning,

but by the time they reach the end, they lose their courage.

We are not interested

that's how it all ends

that started with so much fanfare

on our wish.


Conquering inaccessible forests and high mountains

when you conquer even the final height -

When you feel that there is no difference now

in you and in the hardness of those stones

whom you have won -

When you face the first snowstorm on your head

and will not tremble -

Then you will find that there is no difference

in winning everything

and in not giving up till the end...

Because it is not just about a temple, it is about correcting a historical wrong...(क्योंकि यह सिर्फ एक मंदिर की बात नहीं है, यह एक ऐतिहासिक गलती को सुधारने की बात है...)

We are on the cusp of a cultural and civilizational Renaissance. 22nd of January is a date that this country is waiting with bated breath for (the Ram temple consecration). What should be our thoughts at this moment in terms of reclaiming our cultural and religious ethos seen in the life of any nation?  Let's start with a similar kind of example of Spain (where the majority follows Christianity). When the Arab armies took over Spain in the 8th Century every Cathedral they converted into mosques but when Spain regained it in the 13th century they built back everything without exception . i.e. Cordoba Mosque     Valencia Cathedral     Old Cathedral of Lleida     Visigothic Cathedral So in India, this should have been done before 1950 (from 1947 to 1950). Because abilities required to be a successful nation are not just in its resources, politics, and military but it's in the spirit of the people . If people feel defeated they're not going to do great thi...

Because 'SILENCE' is not empty, It is full of expression... (क्योंकि 'मौन' खाली नहीं होता, यह अभिव्यक्ति से भरा होता है...)

You will often meet people who are extremely vocal in their expressions. They always have a limitless stock of things. In any conversation, they listen less and talk more. They do not feel any hesitation in expressing their opinion on any issue. Usually, such people are kept in the category of smart people and most people want that they should also have a fearless and assertive personalities like them. On the other hand, you must have also seen some people who are generally silent. On the issue on which the outspoken persons appear to be fighting among themselves, these persons remain very calm even on those issues. The general belief is that people who remain silent have a suppressed personality and often no one wants to allow themselves to be included in this category. Most parents teach their children to be assertive from childhood and if a child remains calm then it becomes a cause of worry for his/her family. There will also be some of you readers who generally prefer to remain si...

Because ATTITUDE is the mirror of personality… (क्योंकि नज़रिया व्यक्तित्व का आईना होता है...)

Image
Often you will come across two types of people – those who make you depressed because of their clumsiness or irritability and  those who win your heart with their liveliness and generosity . Needless to say that we all want to see ourselves included in the second category.  The hallmark of irritable people is that they are always complaining about something or the other. If someone cooks and feeds them with love, then they start counting the shortcomings in that food too. In fact, he complains about everything except himself. No two words of praise come out of his mouth even on the greatest merit. There is a practice of calling such people ' wretched'  in common language and usually everyone wants to keep distance from them.  On the other hand, the specialty of lively and cheerful people is that they find reasons to be happy even in the worst of circumstances. Even if someone feeds them half-cooked food, there would no wrinkle on their forehead. On the contrary, fill...
