[Think of an excuse to achieve success by reading this anecdote offline:
]
Have you ever seen an ice
berg? Only a part of it seen over the top of water surface whereas the maximum
part is submerged below the water level.
Success is something which is
visible to maximum people in the outer world but only the one who has achieved
it in life knows that the boulevard through which he had travelled was a path
of thorns and now a path of roses. People often misunderstand success as an
easy thing to achieve. Yes it is undoubtedly an easy thing only if you have
your mind clung to your determination. If you feel that if you try for 2-3
times and achieve the pinnacle of white collar job, I think you are sadly
mistaken my friend. Rome wasn’t built in a day nor does success.
Deep, a very good friend of
mine and my room mate as well, medium heighted guy with heavy brains was a kind
of an intellectual person and his French beard gave the gentleman’s spark to
his personality. Apart from studies, he had interests in cooking, football and
most of all, writing stories that can incentivize people and help them develop
moral values.
I used to often sit besides
him, just quietly watching what kind of stuffs he write and trust me, no matter
how low I feel, I get my blood raging through my body after reading his matter.
He had one big aim in life;
to inculcate morality in people which is diminishing day by day. He wrote for
others, not for himself. His notions were completely noble and hardly a person
is busy-go-weary world of today’s would think to such a level. He often told
me, “Ronak, people today are so much busy in increasing their financial status
that they forget to feed their moral status. People are nowadays gaining
attention by doing immoral stuffs rather than spreading goodness and morality
and you know what’s worse? The society finds such things interesting and they
give a boost to such people; people with good values are considered to be
foolish and mad. Yes, we live in a fact that is like impossible to digest.” His
face fell in sadness, his eyes had so much to speak, so much of pain that some
people are been guided in wrong way.
“Deep, I have an idea which
is worth implementing.” I jumped out of joy and I was confident enough I could
help him. “Let me create a blog for you so that people can visit it, and can
know your aim, your notions, your goodness towards morphing the society into a
better one.” His eyes looked at me in some hope. Always reactive to try
something constructive, he jumped, “What are we waiting for then?”
I helped him design a blog
where he could put his thoughts into words and make is intentions viral via his
blog website.
Being his cicerone, I guided
him towards his future website and he paid attention so enthusiastically, like
a small kid is looking towards a toy he likes the most. The aftermath was worth
my efforts. He started uploading his anecdotes on his blog so people can read
and he even gave an option for offline reading by downloading his stories.
He uploaded a few stories and
went for the publicity of his website. Yeah, he got a good response but his
mind craved for more. He wanted to energize people and create an impact on
their mind and gradually, he even touched that star of his improvement. He
endeavored so much just for welfare of the society. He would surely go ahead at
great pace by doing such a good deed and that is thought to inevitable, doesn’t
it? He rubbed his legs quite enough; his blog survived only because of his fixed
determination and optimism otherwise it would have been crushed into despair if
it was some other person than Deep.
I meanwhile was working on my
application project. One can say that I and Deep were sailing in the same boat.
We both had positive approach towards the society and we both worked till we
sweated blood.
I had tough time in designing
the code for the application which was quite a Herculean task for me. The
coding was not that easy but I did not give up. Coding was done and application
worked quite well except for the GPS tab in it. When clicked on it, the
application used to crash. Searched on internet, surfed too many websites but
none was of help. So close to my dream yet so far. I almost gave up. But Deep
was such an optimist.
He optimized me and vice
versa.
But even he was passing
through the valleys of struggle. He ran from here to there, from the land to
the sky. Everyone showered with so many appreciations and blessings on him but
no support from a single person who could take him to the next level on the
ladder of well-being.
From teachers to colleagues,
from family to friends, he spread his ideas as far as he could. But he found no
chain which could pull him up and make himself visible to the world. Deep was
so much filled with zeal for his dream that he bunked his classes to take steps
to spread his blog. He mailed many newspaper companies, asking to help is
notions reach the people. Not just one but he mailed to every company of whose
he got the contact but no reply. He spread awareness about his blog in his
neighbourhoods but all he achieved was vanity.
Deep even let his ideas fly
across the seas so that people can get aware about his blog in abroad too. But
I always saw a smile on his face, despite of all this. He often said, “Ronak,
we have come this far. I consider it to be completely preposterous if we even
think to give up. People find excuses for failure. Let us make excuses for
success.” And his words struck me like a thunder that filled me with bright
vision and optimism.
Hard work always pays,
whether sooner or later. And this was proved in our case. Finally we both got a
platform to raise your thoughts and speak out our notions to the world. And I
had got the limitation in my application solved for which, I searched in every
possible place. Deep had the spark in his eyes, full of hope and willing to
bring the transformation and I could think of nothing, but just breathe. Yeah,
hope was still alive.
God seemed to shower his
blessings upon us. We caught the pace towards our dream. No hindrance was
valiant enough to subside our pace. Our hard work and never-give-up attitude help us come out with
flying colours in our lives!
