To succeed in any field, one has to
apply three formulas: 1. Establish the goal, 2. Have a keen interest,
and 3. Proper utilization of capabilities.
1.
Establish the goal in life: Establishing a goal in life is as much
crucial as the need for the map when travelling across unknown places
and a navigation device to sail across the sea. When we know well and
always keep in mind what we want to be in life and what we want to do in
life, we will surely keep making continuous efforts in those
directions. There is a famous saying—"There is no wind that blows right
for the sailor who doesn't know his destination." In other words, the
ship of such sailor would remain drifting aimlessly at the mercy of the
ocean waves. An individual without a goal is also destined to meet the
same fate. Therefore, the first and foremost necessity is to establish a
goal.
2.
Having a keen interest: Next, one should have keen interest, great
enthusiasm, strong determination and an attitude to work with total
attention for their chosen goal. Without these, the prospects of success
would always remain doubtful. No noteworthy achievement can be
anticipated with half-hearted efforts or working without due attention.
It is a psychological truth that enthusiasm and determination are the
source of energies without which any amount of knack, talent, flair or
know how would be of very little help.
3.
Proper utilization of capabilities: Time is the most important among
all the divine assets we have in our life. Proper utilization of time
and, physical and mental capabilities can yield extraordinary
achievements. Proper utilization of every single moment in working
towards the set goal can produce miraculous results.
If
we happen to look at the initial capabilities, qualities and other
outward circumstances of both the successful and unsuccessful people, we
may not find much difference. And yet they happen to end up worlds
apart. The only reason for such difference is that the successful person
engaged all his capabilities to work towards achieving his chosen goal
while the unsuccessful person lost his way due to the lack of direction
and being disorganised
