Reasons for Success

One student asked me yesterday," Sir,why do some people succeed in life, while so many of them Fail ?" The answer to it from my side - "Total dedication,perseverance and patience combined with Discipline."
If you possess all of these qualities, you are very likely to succeed in a huge way.Presence of even one of the above will help you a lot in proceeding towards your desired Goal.Dedication is your commitment towards your work in terms of achieving the targets as per schedule. Perseverance is Hardwork.Total ruthless Hardwork.Then comes Patience.Its a low profile virtue,but its an essential supplement to the above two virtues. Without Patience,one can't achieve Longterm Success. To attain success is less difficult. To maintain it for a long term is much more difficult.This comes through a sheer quality called patience.Its that inner voice inside you,which keeps on telling you," Mate,today wasn't my day but i will again try harder tomorrow ....".Patience can be enhanced through Pranayam and Meditation. Last but not the least is Discipline.To understand what Discipline is and how it contributes in our success, lets take the example of two cricketers.
Sachin Tendulkar and Vinod Kambli started their cricketing careers almost together in early nineties.Initially,although Sachin was more talented,Vinod was more successful !! When he hit 4 centuries in a row,people started comparing him to Sir Don Bradman !Two of those centuries he converted into Double hundreds ! Whilst Kambli was in full bloom, Sachin wasn't.He hardly hit a Fifty in those four test matches in which Kambli flourished. But he was more Disciplined and believed in himself.
Slowly Kambli started moving in late night parties and got back to the hotel room late quite often.This had an impact on his batting form.While Sachin was very disciplined.He never went to late night parties and went to bed early.Kambli,inspite of losing his touch, continued to remain astray and decided to work in some films as his sidejob ! Sachin was fully focussed on Cricket.The result is history.Vinod Kambli was finally kicked out of the Indian cricket team due to his deteriorating form and now he sits in the benches to watch Sachin still playing for India after 22 years and creating newer records all the time !!! As on today, Sachin is considered as a Legend while Kambli is a forgotten saga ! The main difference between the two is DISCIPLINE.One never knew what it means, while the other worshipped it and obeyed it fully.

If described at length,the above four virtues can fill up bytes and bytes of data.Each word is so precious for the person, who can rightly evaluate it.However,I think this much is enough for today. Good night and Take care.
