The news of my friend’s recent success inspired me for a long-pending post. His story does not make a Hollywood film. It is probably as clichéd as any other success story. But then, heroism in life is not about being flashy. It is about being just like you and me and doing something different, despite all odds.More than his story, I would prefer sharing a few nuggets of wisdom that he stands for. It might be of more use to you and me than his very story.
#1 To dream of success you don’t need to sit on past successes. You could dream even if you, pardon the phrase, are in deep shit.
# 2 When life offers silver, demand for diamonds. You do not need to be content with what life offers to you.
#3. The best way to beat adversity is through passion, perseverance and being enthusiastic about future.
#4 Cynics carp. The best way to deal with them is through your actions. When you celebrate your hard-earned success, they vanish surprisingly
#5 Enthusiasm is contagious. People might not acknowledge it – but definitely are more comfortable being lead by you, if you keep up enthusiasm.
And the bonus
#6 Be reliable – reliable friend, manager and leader. People and businesses need reliable ones desperately.
I don’t know whether I can capture his story in these 6 dimensions. But ‘am sure he would add more dimensions than I could write, in future.
