It is well said: "Success brings people together, and failure makes them orphans". It applies everywhere and to all the circumstances. For example in the competitive exams, very few succeed and the remaining remains unsuccessful. People call the winners as "Lucky fellows", and the losers are called "bad luck people". This is human nature. But, we can say confidently that all men are equal by nature. God has given intelligence equally to all. But success depends on how we use our intelligence. Success is not hereditary. Success is directly proportional to the hard working capacity. Luck is described as: ‘’Hard work is another name for luck. Leave nothing to chance’’, a golden word to be adopted and followed by those who want success in their activities or programmes. Success Quote: "Genius is nothing but 1% percent inspiration and 99% perspiration". But one must keep it in mind that success is not so easy as it appears outwardly. Ask any successful person how he succeeded in his Endeavour, immediately he reveals the troubles he faced before he came out successfully. The winners were relentlessly working hard, while we were sleeping. They read day and nights and sacrificed number of their happy moments and also luxuries. They also never forget, the hardships they underwent during their childhood life. But one should not get discouraged at the time of failure. Most of the successful persons were also one time failured people. Remember that, ‘’Failure is the stepping stone for success’’. Never stop if you fail one or two times in your attempts. But pursue it until you obtain the fruits of success i.e.; the goals in your life. Usually the failed one says the cause of their failure … [Read more...]

Control your desires
Men have three types of desires, i.e. desires of the eyes, of body and the desire for more amount of money. Controlled desire will help to achieve our goals but excessive desires are the root cause for stress in modern life due to lack satisfaction. Goals and desires are the tools to achieve great things in life but setting up right goals and controlling desires are the difficult tasks in life. Great leaders have burning desires to achieve their goal but not on materialistic things like money and women. Lack of desire makes you feel boredom in life. Bad desires: 1. Desires of the eyes: Never desire for everything which is seen by the eyes. For example your neighbor might have purchased a big-sized car or TV, maybe he is very rich and your economic position does not permit you to offer that much big sized articles. So go as per the size of your pocket. Hence do not compete with others unnecessarily. 2. Bodily desires: Body also desires which appears beautiful and attractive. Who knows, whether it does well or bad to our body. For example, fire appears bright and reddish and if we touch it, it burns our fingers and brings deep pain instead of happiness. 3. Greediness (desire for excess amount of money): Everybody needs money, no doubt. But some people, even though, they have sufficient amount of money to meet their every need and personal requirements, still they crave for money. They won’t satisfy with the amount they earn legally. But they want to earn money by hook or by crook.

Why some people are always unhappy while others face same problems with smile on their face. Cicero, a famous philosopher and statesman of yesteryears (2000B.c) belonging to Italy (Rome), enumerated the following causes for unhappiness, which holds well for ever. 8 weaknesses in the personality of unhappy people: 1. Dominating mentality:Human in-born trait (may be weakness) is by suppressing others, we may achieve our goals and personally be benefitted. It is a wrong notion and of selfishness in nature. This type of thinking is merely an illusion and also we are building castles in air. 2. Un-necessarily worrying about the things or situations which we can’t change. It is a waste of time and energy also. 3. In-accurate estimation of our strengths and weaknesses and at certain times facing heavy losses during our career. 4.Many a time giving importance and evincing keen interest in petty things, which are of no use to us in any way. 5. Never trying sincerely to improve our mental power and not gaining maturity. 6. Always be under the impression that our views are only genuine and factual and also wishing that others also should give their consent to our beliefs. 7. Egoism: “I know everything and I need not other’s advice”. Ultimately such type of personalities will land in darkness and troubles. 8. Arguements: These types of people think that “arguing always pays and meekness is weakness”. But what is the remedy? The surest and simplest way is: Applying commonsense depending upon the situations. But the pitiable thing is, as quoted by a noble personality- “commonsense is uncommon with the common people”.
