VICTORY BELONGS TO THE PERSERVING

   

 Behind all greatness, there is a truth. Men rise like a rocket dazzling all, but they drop down the next moment. Men rise and fall. The twist in destiny is inevitable. Behind the eyes of man, is going on the ceaseless work of nature, without haste, without rest. From the seed, comes out a tender sprout, this grows into a sapling, and in the course of a few hundred years, becomes a mighty banyan tree. Little particles of sand go on accumulating for ages and last, form themselves into a wild desert. The same story of silent growth is told by the majestic river. Little drops of water trickle down to the mountain sides and narrow into a streamlet. It meanders slowly, obstructed at every step by huge boulders, but struggles on, gathering strength, cooperating with other streams, and transforms into an unfathomable ocean! All great accomplishments are the fruits of steadfastness, of tenacity, of perseverance!

    Life is an uphill journey, and at the top rests glory. Therefore one must climb with great passion to embark that beautiful destination. Men slip and fall. But the determination keeps them going and they make it to the very summit. Man’s reach should exceed his grasp! Or what’s heaven for? He, who used to hold horses for gentlemen going to the theater, by the dint of firm resolve, became the mighty Shakespeare! The humble Corsican boy who struggled single-handedly at the last became the great Napoleon….the terror of all Europe! The grand scientist Faraday was an unknown poor clerk before he astonished the world by his epoch-making discoveries. Thus whoever rose to height, rose through steady perseverance; no extraordinary merit, no super human power. All what’s required is to realize one’s potential, one’s ambition and to go on achieving that no matter what stands in the way!

Victory cannot be a gift. It is fruit that must be earned it can be enjoyed. The birds who chirp, the bees who build the hive, the insects that crawl on the earth have their own woeful tale to tell, only if there are men to listen!
