Hope works like fuel in people's lives When life is plunged into despair, a glimmer of hope helps to navigate anew. People cannot survive without hope. Even a madman has some hope but it is random. Again, a healthy person has hope. People are doing their best because the word hope is involved in people's lives. But mentally weak people may think - I will not dream, I will not hope. But what he hopes is completely over?

No, that person does not give up hope at all. A distressed and despondent person also thinks that 'all my hopes are gone. But actually, the truth is, there is still a small amount of hope alive in the corner of his mind to achieve the desired goal. Consider a terminally ill patient who may only have a month or two to live. But there is a glimmer of hope in the corner of that man's eyes. Don't let hope end. Because every person loves his life the most.

A flower gardener cultivates a garden with care. He may also hope that the flowers in his garden will be fragrant. So don't just hope. Care must be taken to fulfill expectations. There should be adjustments taking into account one's aptitude, ability, and surroundings. Decisions have to be made based on reality and move forward. Hope doesn't mean you expect to achieve the impossible.

Because you can't come back from Mars just by hoping. Nor can you become a famous writer just by hoping. Too high expectations can lead to disappointment. So one can expect according to ability and potential. As well as ability, hard work, honesty, and strong morale should be there. Many people in the world have managed to achieve their goals. For example, three hundred or four hundred years ago where it was unimaginable for humans to travel in the sky.

But now it is not a fantasy, it is very real. So, if you keep failing in life, don't lose hope. Find new ways. Try doing things differently. Desperate people are like boats without sails. We all know the name of Abraham Lincoln. He is immortalized for his famous speech. People pay more attention to their reputations. But the story before his presidency was full of failures. He was born in 1809. He is the 16th President of America. He is considered to be the best American president ever.

When he became president, America still had slavery. His contribution to the freedom of the slaves was undeniable. He is known all over the world as a famous politician and ideal person. He is a successful man in the history of the world. But the life of successful people like him started with the story of failure. He was fired at the age of 23. He was also defeated in the first election of his political career. At the age of 29, he ran for a seat in the House of Representatives but was defeated.

Then in 1848, the 39-year-old Lincoln ran for the post of Commissioner of the Land Office and lost. Ran for senator at age 49 and was miserably defeated. Even after such a big defeat, he did not run away from life. He did not give up hope. Despite so many failures, he continued to fight. As a result of his efforts, he became the President of America one day. He was elected president in 1861 at the age of 52.

Lincoln, whose life was full of failures before becoming president, was later able to create history. If he had given up hope after the first defeat, he might not have become the President of America. The hope accumulated in the corner of their mind and faith in themselves made him a successful person. Maybe you are not an optimistic person like Abraham Lincoln. Maybe you don't have a strong mind like him. But if you love yourself, never give up hope.

The hope cherished in your heart will guide you to the light. Because people hope and know how to love that hope. So love all your hopes like your limbs. If hope is not loved then hope is not fulfilled. We should continue to do what we can. No matter how small that task is to others. You have to have a lot of faith in yourself. We should love ourselves. Now many people may ask that if you love yourself, how can you achieve success? But if you love yourself, you are not selfish.

Loving yourself means loving your dreams, and caring for your hopes. But that doesn't mean you become completely self-centered. As long as there is hope in you, you will keep trying. If a seedling is watered regularly and cared for, the plant grows beautifully. Similarly, if you as a person have hope and care for it, then like a seedling, you too will be successful one day. Hope increases our productivity. Desperate people consider failure as the outcome.
