Hard-work Vs Luck

Success is neither relative nor has any specific definition. Success is simply psychological pacification of mind on fulfillment of one’s dreams and ambitions. Success can’t be fathomed on any scale or in parameters. It can just be achieved by sheer hard-work.

Success can be achieved by hard-work, perseverance, determination and last of all, luck. All factors are equally important to become successful but hard- work has no parlance among them all. Hard-work reigns supreme. With 10% luck (which is enough to sustain and live dreams) we need to put in the best we got. There never has been or will be any substitute of hard-work, despite the fact how advanced the science and the world becomes.

Luck, indeed, plays a very important role and is also called the “DESTINY”. DESTINY, as they say, is pre-written and similar to DNA fingerprints, everybody has their unique destiny. Neither of the people shares their destiny- siblings, couples, friends or any relations. And yet again it is again the destiny which can be accredited with the real life “rags-to-riches” stories of the likes of Abraham Lincoln , in India our own “AMBANIS” and many more. But there can be denial on ‘if they hadn’t put in any hard-work, they wouldn’t be ones they are today’. Although luck is necessary, if it wasn’t, everybody living would be rich!!!

Success is achieved by hard-work & luck both, though hard-work outweighs all the factors but all of them go hand-in hand. In nutshell, “HARD-WORK + PERSEVERANCE+ DETERMINATION” is a definite formula for success because failing after putting in all of the best you got , is possible but with perseverance and determination handy , you can achieve the seemingly “IMPOSSIBLE” . Luck is a chance factor which makes people go lucky at their 1^st go and with “perseverance +determination” you can make yourself “LUCKY”.

“SUCCESS HAS NO IMMUNITY, NO ENEMIES….IT COMES TO ALL!!!”

(P.S- THIS IS ARTICLE OF FAITH. I never believed in hard-work with so much conviction as I believe after writing this. )

Hoping for “ZEPHYR” of change to set out for all soon!!!

AMEN!!!

COMPROMISE

WE ALL HAVE SEEN SHAHRUKH KHAN ADVERTISING FOR DISH TV…..”THODA WISH KARO, DISH KARO” URGING US NOT TO MAKE COMPROMISES WITH THE QUALITY OF PRODUCT AND SERVICES WE GET. HENCE HE CLAIMS HIS ENDORSED PRODUCT TO BE THE BEST AND THUS WE WONT HAVE TO END UO MAKING COMPROMISE…NOW IS THAT POSSIBLE IN INDIA…WE MAKE COMPROMISES EVRY NOW N THEN…FROM MORNING TO NIGHT … EVRYBODY MAKES COMPROMISES…FROM A TODDLER TO AN AGED PERSON…THOUGH THE SHARE OF COMPROMISES VARIES FROM INDIVIDUAL TO INDIVIDUAL…IN NUTSHELL IT IS NOT FEASIBLE IN INDIA “NOT TO MAKE COMPROMISES” IN OTHER WORDS IT SEEMS AS IF INDIA RUNS ON MAKING “COMPROMISES”…

IN INDIA…STARTING FROM THE YOUNGEST RESIDENT---“A TODDLER” WITH A WORKING MOTHER MAKES COMPROMISE ON HIS SHARE OF MOTHER FEED COZ OF WORKING MOTHER. THOUGH THE BIOLOGIST HV GIVEN A NEW TERM TO HIS COMPROMISE “ WEANING” BUT WILL THIS SOCIAL ISSUE UNDER THE GARB OF MEDICAL TERM “WEANING” BE NEGLECTED… OF COURSE NOBODY CAN BE ACCOUNTED FOR TO B THE “SCAPEGOAT”…BT THE MATTER IS STILL NOT OBSOLVED…OR THE INFANT REFUSING TO MAKE ANY COMPROMISE SHOULD THROW TANTRUMS ‘OR’ GOING THE OTHER WAYS ROUND…HE GROWS UP WEANED WHICH RESULTANTLY CAUSES HIS WEAK IMMUNITY N HENCE RESULTS IN DIRE HEALTH CONSEQUENCES …SHOULD SUE HIS MOTHER UNDER ‘RTI’ ??? WHICH WOULD ,OF COURSE, MEAN RIDICULING THE WHOLE SITUATION…SUBSEQUENTLY THE ANSWER IS “COMPROMISE”…THE BEST AND ULTIMATE SOLUTION…

WE SHOULD RATHER BELIEVE THAT IN OUR INDIAN SOCIETY , AS A PART OF NURTURING N GROWING UP, WE ARE THEORETICALLY TAUGHT NOT TO MAKE COMPROMISES BT THE PRACTICALITY STANDS FOR THE CONVERSE. WE MAKE COMPROMISE IN MANY SITUATIONS DAILY… HOSTELERS MAKE COMPROMISES WITH THEIR ROOM-MATES AT TIMES… STUDENTS MAKE COMPROMISES WITH THEIR FACULTY WHEN THE LATCH OF THEIR INTERNALS IS IN THEIR FACULTY’ HANDS…WIVES MAKE COMPROMISES FOR THEIR HUSBANDS N FAMILIES N SAME STANDS TRUE FOR THE HUSBANDS…

THERE IS NO COMPETITION BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN ON ACCOUNT OF MAKING COMPROMISES…INDIANS – BOTH MEN N WOMEN HV THEIR OWN SHARE OF MAKING COMPROMISES. IN SOME PATRIACH FAMILIES, IT IS FEMALES WHO MAKE MORE COMPROMISES -WHICH IS MOSTLY THE CASE… IN OTHER CASES …FAMILIES WITH MORE OF FEMALES , MALES HV TO MAKE COMPROMISES…

INDIANS ARE TAUGHT TO MAKE COMPROMISES WITH QUANTITY , QUALITY , DEMANDS AND THEIR DESIRES…WELL IF SOMEBODY DOESN’T AGREE TO THAT WE MAKE COMPROMISES IN OUR LIVES--- CAN JUST INTROSPECT THEIR OWN LIVES N JUST ANSWER---“ HAVE THEY GOT ALL THEY WANTED IN THEIR LIVES- IN SAME MEASURES N WAYS THEY WANTED???” IF YES THN PERHAPS U R D LUCKIEST ‘OR’ U R LYING TO URSELF…

BACK TO MAKING COMPROMISES…IT IS SAID” TO RUN THE INSTITUTION OF MARRIAGE SUCCESSFULLY, BOTH THE PARTNERS NEED TO LEARN COMPROMISES A ONE OR OTHR PART OF THEIR LIVES” IF OTHERWISE THE RESULTS ARE TWO WHICH VERY EVIDENTLY DEMEAN THE INSTITUTION OF MARRIAGE…

DIVORCE

DOMINANT-RECESSIVE RELATION---WHERE ONE PARTNER HAS TO MAKE ALL COMPROMISES N IS ALSO SIDELINED..

PEOPLE LIVING IN SMALL TOWNS WELL UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF “COMPROMISING WITH QUALITY STANDARDS”…

POVERTY RESULTS IN POOR PEOPLE MAKING COMPROMISES WD “LIVING STANDARDS”…

WE EVEN MAKE COMPROMISES WHEN OPTING FOR OUR CAREERS---“QUOTA SYSTEM”

NOW DON’T THE CANDIDATES HV TO MAKE COMPROMISE FOR THE DESERVD SEAT WHICH BY GRACE OF QUOTA SYSTEM IS HANDED OVR TO CANDIDATE WD QUOTA…WHICH OTHERWISE ACCORDING TO MERIT HE DOESN’T DESERVE D SAME…

WE EVN MAKE COMPROMISE ON THE QUALITY OF OUR POLITICIANS N REPRESENTATIVES

…TRUE BT IT IS…

OUR WHOLE INDIAN SYSTEM RUNS ON COMPROMISES---EVRYBDY MAKES COMPROMISES BT SHARE VARIES. SOME HV TO MAKE COMPROMISES THRU OUT THEIR LIVES N STILL FIND NO RESPITE…N SOME MAKE FEW COMPROMISES N ARE WELL PAID OFF…

ON THAT ACCOUNT, WE EVEN MAKE COMPROMISES WD GOD AS WELL…

“ IF THINGS DONOT HAPPEN HAPPEN IN UR LYF UR WAY, WAIT N WATCH BECAUSE THINGS R HAPPENING IN GO’S WAYS N ARE BEST FOR U” OR

“SOONER OR LATER, U WILL GET D RESULTS FOR UR HARD WORK”

“KARAM KAR , FAL(RESULT) KI ICHCHA(DESIRE OR EXPECTATION) MAT RAKH”

WE DO MAKE COMPROMISES EVRYTYM… EVRY NW N THEN… WE MAY CALL IT COMPROMISING WD THE SITUATION BT THEN ULTIMATELY WE R DOING IS “COMPROMISING”…

IN INDIA “MAKING COMPROMISES” IS LIKE A TRAIT THAT ACTUALLY IS IN OUR GENES …MORE SUBSTANTIALLY RUNS IN OUR BLOOD N IS INHERITED…

MAKING COMPROMISES HS LIKE JUST IT SEEMS AS IF WE HV FORMED A HABIT OF IT ALREADY… BT IS COMPROMISING GOOD N HEALTHY…OR IN OTHER WORDS…DOES “NO COMPROMISES” MEAN “NO PROBLEMS”??? --- IF YES THEN COMPROMISING IS DEFINITELY WDOUT DOUBT IS GOOD ‘N’ IF NO THEN WE SHOULDN’T REALLY KEEP GOING ON WD COMPROMISES IN OUR LIVES…

crucial tyms sirening!!!

with LS elections approaching....the campaigns are getting hot......wd smbdy showing patriotism by going to jail.......or sm celebrities plunging in politics to secure the future source for "aish".....the elections are a big drama.......wd much over-to do n undue hype n fervour.........there is every kinda of element......"suspense" of how the opposition will counter the allegations........."anxiety" in public wat this cold war b/w parties will result into......"pity" to see how the relations are not even spared in the mad race............see parties play wd one n other's past......no one is spared...........if smbdy was to metaphorize all this........better to say......" members of wild sanctuary all n out free to perform in circus".......
emotions really has no space in politics.......its out n out a hard-core play.......wd no patriotism bt abundance of chauvinism.......to prove oneself the most worthwhile.........
when varun gandhi turns out to be an orthodox hindutva volley player............his mother comes to support him.........ah maneka gandhi ........a self acclaimed out n out idealistic politician........who has , perhaps, uncanny ability to feel for animals.....their pains n sufferings........(PETA).........now to bring her son's deeds undercover she unveils the atrocities done by congress in 1984 against.......after 25 yrs she remember that part of history..........another smart player.........perhaps wanted to side in wd sikh parties............
an indeed good show of so-called secularism..........blabla ......it seems all the politicians hv forgotten all rules n regulations set for elections..........no second thought on that.........wd sanjay dutt contesting on sp seat reveals the very fact........he faced jail for 2 yrs........n nw he cumes to becum the public protector wen once he was punished for violating the laws of public protection......a sarcasm in itself........its pity on our country's jurisdiction........a culprit once proclaimed by court........nw cumes to reign over them...........sanjay dutt must realize this is no multi-starrer movie..........wd everything turning out to b gudie gud for him...
its tym crucial for public.......this tym if opportunity nt availed will b back after 5 yrs............n remember by that tym our country will be poorer by the high multiple of 500 in crores of amount.........its tym to act.........no tym to sit n see them play wd our future...........there is a rule called 49-o-rule.......stands for u dont want to vote for anyone.........if masses decide this way.......the candidature of candidate from ur constituency will b called off..........n u can do this as many no. of tyms..............this year the recession has effected every part n segment of country.......bt it has brought on gud.......the students of iims n iits.......hv heralded their call to save country's future in real practical n real sense...........wd 40 canditates on to the election ground............lets hope this no. increases every tym........n one day our india is represented by elite ppl............act!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

India celebrated its 59th republic day....republic day marks the implementation of our the great preamble........the mirror image of our constitution......the Preamble defines india as a secular, sovereign, socialist, democratic...n all other parameters which shall be used to define any ideal country....but is India really an idealistic country...?????????

In this writing i want to share what i saw.........in so-called ideal country.......i ,being a punjabi, had to listen smthing against punjab........while living in punjab.......i really faced smthing of the sort for the first tym.......i never knew punjabis are hated as well.........inspite of the today punjabi's r among most famous n most loved of all communities.........i have no grudges against any communities,any religion, any state............but the most painful fact about all this .........that the youth of today is also orthodox...........so narrow-minded......so adamant...........when india asserts of overall development...........

well india developed..........but along with the social taboos........which have put virtual shackles to the development of our society.........we need to break them all........the indian youth needs to take concrete steps to really improve upon the future of our country as a whole..............smthing which we really need to eradicate is -----racial biasness...........even the bollywood star Ms. Shilpa Shetty wasnt saved from its brunt........with only difference that she had to face it in foreign land n at foreign hands............n the whole world audience was witnessing it................but there are hundreds n thousands of people who face n go thru it everyday.......every now n then......but have no accounts.....no witnesses.........n no consolings!!!!!!!!

the need of the hour is to really put action n life to the words of our the preamble before the parchment of our preamble withers away........so that actually india can become one of the idealistic country..........in years to cum.......!!!!!!!!!!!!!

on positive note...........india shall be one of the first world countries in years to cum + an ideal country!!!!!!!!............free of corruption......n other social taboos------racial biasness being the supreme among them all.......n is actually the rootcause of many greater problems faced by India!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where is india heading towards?

Now when the votes for change tym is approaching.......all the politicians r busy bagging party tickets from their preferred constituencies........n declaring their properties n assets.......The fact revealed today.......the income of political leaders of ruling party in Rajasthan state has increased by 500% in last 5 yrs rule of BJP headed state govt. under Vasundhara Raje....one can easily judge from this where the india is developing!!!!!!!........check out!!!!!!
