Character − An Investment to Success
T o be successful in life is everyone’s natural desire. Achieving Success means getting something desired or planned in the field one chooses and then moving forward to be ahead from others.
Success gives you the following advantages:
Recognition in the Society
Respect and Regard
When a successful person attends a function or a gathering, he is recognised by all without any introductions
One can earn money and it provides him comforts and conveniences
Society remembers him for a long time
However, achieving success is not an easy task. One has to work hard, face difficult situations, hardships and should be disciplined.
Amitabh Bachchan, Kapil Dev, Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar, Dhirubhai Ambani, Steven Spielberg, Ram Gopal Varma, Mani Ratnam, R.D Burman, A.R Rahman, Steffi Graf, Madhuri Dixit, etc are some of the many well‒known personalities who belong to different fields but have one aspect or quality common in all of them and that is Success! Victory!!
All these people are successful in their respective fields and have reached to the highest positions in their lives.
However, one may wonder, what methods did they follow, or what acts did they do to reach to that level??
In fact, when you study the lives of all the above mentioned great personalities, you can notice some common qualities such as ‒
They all have a goal in their lives, an ambition. Until they achieve their ambition, they do not rest.
They have a strong personality to face any difficult situation or problem in their path of achieving success.
They are not overwhelmed with trivial initial results and struggle till the end until they achieve complete success.
They set a plan and move forward until they achieve their goal.
They are all workaholics, and follow the principle, ‘Work is Worship’.
All the above‒mentioned achievers of success are Genius! And we all know that some may be born Genius, but most of them are not born Genius, but made.
When we talk of a Genius, we immediately recall Einstein, one of the greatest scientists of the world. Here’s an amazing story behind his genius.
One day some scientists met Einstein and asked his permission to examine his brain after his death. He accepted their request with a small condition.
The condition was that he wanted to place a letter in a sealed cover which was to be opened only after receiving the report prepared on his brain examination!
They accepted his condition.
Later, Einstein passed away. Scientists conducted a thorough examination of his brain and prepared a report, and then they remembered his letter and opened it before all.
There were two sentences written in Einstein’s own handwriting:
First sentence ‒ “You have examined my Brain? My brain has nine billion cells like other human brains.”
Yes, even the scientists’ report said so.
Second sentence ‒”I alone know what the difference between others and me is.”
When they read those two sentences, they were astonished.
Actually, what Einstein intended to say was that he had the same brain what others have, but the only difference was that he had sharpened it with constant use, logical thinking and experimentation.
That is why Intellectuals say that if you want to become a genius, you need 80% perspiration, and 10% inspiration.
Perspiration means‒determination, attention, efforts, sincerity and hard work to reach the goal.
To become a genius, or to achieve success in any sphere of life, such as education, profession, love, marriage, etc, one has to put one’s efforts or hard work along with the desire and determination to fulfil one’s goal. Of course, self‒confidence and belief in oneself are compulsory!
In a recent survey conducted in the United States of America, regarding persons who achieved success, or reached to the top in their respective fields revealed that 85% of them attained success by improvising their personalities and the remaining 15% with their experience and talents in their respective fields.
So, in order to succeed, or achieve success in one’s field, be it literature, politics, cinema, journalism or any other field, one must first shape one’s personality and character. Your personality, character and individuality act as a passport leading your journey towards success. Hence, to achieve shape and groom your character, what all do you have to do??
Here is a famous saying by the well‒known scientist, Albert Einstein:
“There are only two ways to live your life.
One is as though nothing is a miracle.
The other is as though everything is a miracle.”
You can be adopt any one of the two ways.
Becoming One Among the Two Percent
