Success is never final. Failure is never fatal. Courage is what counts. -Sir Winston Churchill
One thing that I have learnt from life is that it is one helluva roller coaster ride….full of bumps, of twists and turns, of highs and lows…all in one go!!!
Well, recently I hit a small set milestone and I am very happy about it… (I know it’s very much unlike me, I mean everybody who knows me knows the “dumb” reaction tat I give for everything, next to karve putala hopefully..;p)I know though the achieved goal is very small, its given me a confidence and reaffirmed my belief in “hard work”..Wanted to take a moment off –and analyze.
Looking back, I can amusingly notice that so far, I have never achieved a set target…well, on time I mean. And some of things, actually most of them are “time variant”…you want some things…but you want them “now”…you getting it at a later point of time actually takes away the excitement and satisfaction from it...and of course the sense of accomplishment.
Well, first day in the lab reminded me of my first day of job…dated 20th September 2004..the happiness that you get when you are assigned your desk, your desktop, your phone etc.
Yes, the excitement is still there…”to live each moment with the liveliness and curiosity of that of child and you will never grow old”.. (I made tat all by myself jlt..;) )
Jokes apart, yes I have to look forward.. make the most of this opportunity..,… work harder. I hope that form all the past failures, I carry forward the lessons and apply them in the most appropriate context.
I know, the journey so far wasn’t that all a cake walk..infact it was a series of hardships, tons of risks, n definitely hazy..coz no matter how much hard-work u put in, at times , that 1 percent luck-or no luck, just takes everything away..It wouldn’t have been possible without the unflinching support of my family and friends…I feel double lucky to have the best of them all with me… wen one door closes, there are many other un-noticed doors open…its upto you , whether you wanna spend time staring and cribbing over the closed one or grab onto the one that’s open and make the best out of it…
I know this isn’t a winning speech that I am making here…but the journey of thousand miles begins with a single step…it took a lot of strength to take that first step…
Getting way too philosophical, errrrr, never mind, success n failures make u one :p!!!
With another piece fitting in so exactly in my picture my times up of retrospection, I have set another short term goal…and lets see…how well I perform this time.
Here, I go !!!
