DON'T WISH FOR IT.............. JUST WORK FOR IT..............
-
Do you have any goal or ambition?? Do you really work hard everyday to achieve it??
If your answer is a BIG NO, then this article is for you. Lets get started with a quote by Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam,
Having goals or ambitions is not a big deal. How hard you work towards it matters. Everybody is longing for a successful life. But life is always not a bed of roses. If things fall on your way as ever you planned, will there be any thrill or chill in your life?? Definitely no. Having twists and turns in your plans adds spice to your life. Achieving something after a lot of hard work and with great difficulty will have its name in the history for long. Person who is getting things easily will never know its value. Owning a new shoe is something out of reach for a poverty-stricken boy but it is an ordinary thing for a boy from a wealthy family. The commodity is same in both the cases. But its value is defined by the place where it is placed.
Every goal for sure must have a target and a time limit to reach. Moreover, a feasible plan is a must. Planning is the first step to success. Make sure that you take atleast one step forward everyday to reach your goal. Adhere to your time strictly. If you consider planning as one side of a coin, then working towards it makes it complete. Atleast once in your lifetime taste the happiness of success. You will never leave it.
Just move on……
Life is not always a bed of roses. Sometimes it seems to be so pleasant. But at times it lays its cruel hands on people’s life. Ups and downs are a part and parcel of our life. Just because you feel sad,disappointed and depressed, it doesn’t mean that your whole life will change into a miserable one forever. Mistakes happen and realisation of the mistake too happens with that. Have faith that your day will definitely bloom one day. That day is not too far. Sun rises in the morning and sets in the evening. Irrespective of whatever happens, sun will definitely rise again. The same way, without being so concerned and worried about your sorrows, just let it go and move on. Cherish yourself and your life with beautiful memories and happiness. Don’t let anything to make you feel low. Have everything that motivates you. Every problem has it’s own time limit to solve. Be ready to give that time. Be silent for sometime. Spend more and more time for yourself. Have a good communication with your inner self. Automatically, things will come and fall at your feet as ever you wished. Mostly, you must have heard that everything has an end. But I strongly believe that every end leads to a new beginning. Life is a story book. Days are the pages in it. Just turn the page or skip the page which you don’t like instead of closing the entire book. We are all born here to achieve something great in life. Each person has their own purpose of living. Just go and find out your purpose. What is the reason behind your living?? What are you going to achieve?? Ask yourself a question everyday, “Why am I here??” Definitely your inner self will let you know the answer, a good answer!! Finally don’t forget the mantra : What ever happens, JUST MOVE ON!!! Glorious days are on the way………..Believe………
Have a great day friends!!
Thank you!!

“This Story Will Change the Way You Think”
Ethan had always felt like life was moving forward without him. Every morning, he woke up with plans and went to bed with disappointment. He worked hard, stayed honest, and tried to do the right things, yet nothing seemed to work. Promotions went to others. Opportunities appeared for people who seemed less deserving. Over time, Ethan began to believe that effort didn’t matter—that success was reserved for a lucky few. He often told himself, “Maybe I’m just not meant for more.” One evening, after another long and tiring day, Ethan missed the last bus home. With no other choice, he started walking. The city was unusually quiet, and the streets felt longer than usual. As he passed a small tea stall near a closed bookstore, he noticed an elderly man sitting alone, slowly turning the pages of an old notebook. The notebook caught Ethan’s attention. Its pages were yellow, but every line was written carefully, as if each word mattered. “Are you writing a story?” Ethan asked. The old man looked up and smiled. “No,” he said gently. “I’m rewriting my life.” That answer confused Ethan, but he sat down anyway. “What does that mean?” Ethan asked. The old man closed the notebook. “For years, I blamed the world for everything I didn’t become. Then one day, I realized the story I kept telling myself was the real problem.” Ethan felt uncomfortable. The words felt personal. The old man continued, “Tell me, young man—what story do you tell yourself every day?” Ethan hesitated. Then he spoke honestly. “That no matter how hard I try, it won’t be enough.” The old man nodded slowly. “And so life agrees with you.” That sentence hit Ethan harder than he expected. “What do you mean?” he asked. “Life listens,” the old man replied. “Not to your words—but to your beliefs. If you believe effort is useless, you will unconsciously prove yourself right.” Ethan laughed nervously. “So you’re saying my thoughts control my life?” “No,” the old man said. “Your thoughts control your actions. And your actions shape your life.” The rain started falling lightly. People rushed past, but Ethan stayed. For the first time in a long while, he felt like someone was speaking the truth he had been avoiding. The old man opened his notebook and showed Ethan a page. It had two columns. On the left side, it said: What I Fear On the right side, it said: What I Can Control “Most people,” the old man explained, “live on the left side. They fear failure, rejection, and judgment. Few people live on the right side—where effort, learning, and patience exist.” That night, Ethan walked home thinking deeply. He realized how often he replayed his mistakes, how often he compared his life to others, and how rarely he focused on what he could improve today. The next morning, Ethan made a small decision. He stopped saying, “Why does this always happen to me?” Instead, he asked, “What is this teaching me?” At work, he stopped waiting for motivation and started building discipline. He arrived earlier, learned skills outside his job, and asked questions instead of pretending to know everything. Some days were painful. Old habits tried to pull him back. There were moments when quitting felt easier than continuing. But Ethan remembered the notebook. What can I control? He couldn’t control promotions. He couldn’t control opinions. But he could control his effort. Months passed. Slowly, things began to shift—not dramatically, but meaningfully. Ethan gained confidence. His work improved. People started noticing his consistency. One afternoon, his manager called him into the office. Ethan expected criticism, but instead, he received an opportunity to lead a small project. It wasn’t a reward—it was a test. Ethan accepted. The project was difficult. Mistakes were made. Pressure was constant. But for the first time, Ethan didn’t run from responsibility. He faced it. The project succeeded. That success didn’t make him rich. It didn’t make him famous. But it changed something far more important. Ethan no longer saw himself as a victim of circumstances. Years later, Ethan walked past the same tea stall. The bookstore was still closed. The city still rushed. But the old man was gone. Ethan smiled, understanding the lesson at last. Life had never been against him. Life had been responding to the story he believed. When he changed the story, life changed the direction. Final Lesson Change the story you tell yourself—and your life will follow.
