A Secret For Success

Today's Blog is all about those who give up things easily after attempting once.

People tend to accept their failure on the first attempt and never come out of it just because they haven't given themselves a fair chance or they haven't tried for the next time. For them failure is the end of life. They never think of trying one more time. Sometimes all we need to do is trying one more time and taking the risk. But we give up rather than taking risk. People generally are not flexible to digest ups and downs of life.

Failure is not the ultimate result. There is always a retest or a retry but the fear of failure never allow us to get up and fight again. The fear of failure gives negative result and converts talent into dumbness. Hesitation has never created a leader in the world. Every leader has a character of never giving up. Be it India's father of Nation Mahatma Gandhi or Barack Obama from USA.

We fear to try more than once and ask our selves how many times should I try ?? I have the answer for you

There is a proverb in English which says "TRYING IS BETTER THAN CRYING"

Let me tell you the story of  an Indian Hockey Player

BEFORE:

He is an Indian professional field hockey player and an ex-captain of the Indian National Team. He made his international debut in January 2004 in Sultan Azlan Shah Cup In Kuala Lumpur. He took over as the captain of the Indian national team in January 2009. At a time when he was at his peak, he was said to have the best speed in the world in drag flick (speed 145 km/h). On 22 August 2006, Singh was seriously injured after being hit by an accidental gunshshot in Shatabdi train, while on his way to join the national team due to leave for the World Cup in Germany two days later. He was almost paralyzed and on a wheelchair for two years of his life.

Under his captaincy, the Indian team managed to clinch the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup in 2009 after defeating Malaysia in the finals at Ipoh. India won the title after a long wait of 13 years. Singh was also the top goal scorer of the tournament.

AFTER:

Sandeep Singh Bhinder not only recovered from that serious injury, but also established himself again in the team.

The India men’s national Hockey team had qualified for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London after a gap of 8 years. The team had a resounding victory over France in the finals of the Olympic qualifiers by beating France 8–1. Ace drag-flicker Singh starred in the final against France by scoring five goals – including a hat-trick – all from penalty corners (19th, 26th, 38th, 49th and 51st minutes). Singh was the highest scorer of the Olympic qualifiers tournament by scoring 16 goals.

He is regarded as one of the best drag flickers of the game.

Hope this much would be encouraging enough for you to keep trying in life.

LIFE - A NEVER ENDING GAME (Part Two)

Continued... LIFE-A Never Ending Game (Part Two)

In the previous blog I kept my thoughts on Life as a never ending game and would like you to have a VISION of seeing LIFE AS A GAME..

We talked about the HOW TO PLAY option of  a game and compared the same with our upbringing.


So now we are into the real stages of life, where the stage levels would get tougher and tougher. In general scenario, we step back when we face a tough situation, we find the escape route or drag ourselves out of that fuzz. But let us think did we do the same in games we played. Every time we failed to win the stage we gave the best try next time. We focus more on that stage and we try different tricks and way to pass the stage. So why not in the real life ?  We always cry sitting aside that we failed and often tend to restrict ourself to work on that failure. We were the only one with desire of success and a failure in the pursuit would change the direction of our success map.

In every game, to unlock the next level we need to win in the current level. Similarly in Life, to unlock the happiness of future, we all need to register victory against every hurdles and difficulties we face. But we never try to get up after failing. We were always taught in our Life's How to Play option to play it safe and if we fail, we were always taught to get up and try more harder. But we never do that. We always cry for what has happened and never plan for what to do next.

Do you remember, every game has "mute sound" option ?  We mute sound when we want to play silently without any background noise. Same is the case with life. All the negative people in our life who do not trust our talent or demotivate us with their words stop us from winning the next level. They are the "mute sound" option. All we need to do is to ignore them and silently move towards our goal. Try harder and never give up is the only option to move on in life. Be stronger in every stage of life.

Do you remember every game has a pause button in it, so that when we want to take a break or when we have some other things to do, we can pause it and again resume it. Same is the case with life, take a break when you want to get fresh, take a break when you feel you are burdened or take a break when you want to redefine the success path.

My dear readers, life is a game with more thrill, more fun and more interesting levels to be won, and more milestones to be achieved. Never fear failure, when you fail remember this blog and get up with double power and focus to cross the milestone.

I hope this blog would have given you more insights and you might have planted new thoughts into your mind to achieve great heights in your life.

Wish you all the best..!!

LIFE - A NEVER ENDING GAME (Part One)

You might be surprised to read the title of this blog LIFE - A NEVER ENDING GAME. You would think how can life be a game ?  But I say YES. Life is a game. Sometimes you donot require eye sight to view, You need to have a VISION to view several things. I will show you from my angle.

We all would have played lot of games during childhood and even many of us would be playing for a change or for fun. It may be a racing game, a fighting game, a puzzle game or sports game. Before starting any game for the first time, it would have surely given us an option of How To Play. What would we do ?  Obviously click on it and learn how to play to identify control buttons and its functions. The 1st stage of every game would be very easy. The 2nd would require little more efforts. The 3rd stage of game would require more efforts to complete the stage & the later stages would increase the level of difficulty to complete and move to the next stage. Now remember those days how keen we were to cross each and every stage and unlock the next stage to proceed in game ? With increase in difficulty level, our commitment to complete the stage would also increase. We would many a times fail to cross the finish line, but we never let it go. We restart the stage and try to cross it. The gist is we never stop playing game untill we cross the finish line or win the entire stages of that game.

Now consider your life as a game itself. Every incidence happening with you or around you is a part of that game.

Like every other game, life has its HOW TO PLAY option. With our birth on Earth, we have parents to teach us manners and to take care of our upbringing. We go to school and we have teachers to educate us. With passage of time we grow up and complete our studies. Our age would  be around 23 to 25. These long years we were in the menu called HOW TO PLAY. It is not just important that we have completed our learning process, important is how well we have learned.

Here starts real stages of life. We would not be facing tough stages initially but gradually as the time passes we would face some difficult stages to life to be cracked with the help of learning we had in past years.

This is all for this blog in LIFE - A NEVER ENDING GAME's Part One. Be with me in Part Two for more interesting views and more stages of life are explored where we shall evaluate each stage and guide ourselves. Part two will be published within 24 hours. Till then, Happy reading...!!
