Success cannot be achieved merely by reading ‘Success Stories.’
Dhirubhai Ambani, Abraham Lincoln, Walt Disney, Thomas Edison, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs etc. are some names who are known all over the world due to their accomplishments and success. But their lives had lots struggles and failures which always pushed them back. Still they became successful, was there any secret behind their success? No there was no secret but organized efforts, persistence and perspiration made them successful. There are number of famous people whose biography or autobiography is published in which struggles and challenges faced by these people are mentioned. We read these success stories as ‘stories’ only and of course get entertained. But here is a question, “Do we get inspiration, motivation from these success stories?” Do we become mentally strong to counter any hurdle, resistance and failure?” You know the best answer.
Every successful man once or repeatedly faced struggles and failures but their dedication to taste success made them successful. Most of the times we say their luck facilitated their success. Luck contributes in success, that is true but it is not guaranteed that in very first attempt one will be successful. People who fail but do not give up the task unless successfully accomplishing it are known to be rigorous hard workers and they make their luck change with their efforts. Now we relate these success stories with our lives.
Merely by reading success stories will not create enthusiasm and energy in us. People who got success in their life faced different situations and their success was defined to them. You might not face the same situations and your life might be different from their lives but one common thing between you and those people can be – A realistic goal which will define your success. Some people face difficulties and struggles in any task completion and have to make extra efforts to achieve success but everyone does not face such situation and there are lots of people who get easy and smooth access to the success.
But, it’s very important to mention here that success might not have easy access for all every time. Some achieve success in the beginning of the process but might face problems in later or mid stages. Hurdles, failures, obstacles lead to frustration and people who remain frustrate for long period kill the chances of further success. One thing mentioned in all success stories is generating will power to control frustration generated by failure. Take a small break when you face failure, relax for a while and think about reasons of that failure. Do not loose patience and be calm. This will definitely help you to review and analyze efforts made by you. Impatience and frustration forbid you to review and analyze the efforts and progress of the task.
So, success is not for those who give up when face any resistance or struggle but for those who set a goal and make efforts persistently to achieve that goal. Your stamina, positive energy and enthusiasm will make you upbeat and finally you will be at your destination. Stories can be read anywhere and anybody’s but success will not be there unless you act. Read success stories and add one more story in those – Your Success.
