In today’s world, the stories of social media, reels and shortcut success have assured a generation that success can be achieved by one click or one night hard work. Every youth is dreaming that he will suddenly become a millionaire or become his identity overnight. But if you look at the layers of history, the truth seems to be completely opposite. Every major success is hidden for years, struggles, failures and firm resolutions. Whether we look at APJ Abdul Kalam or Mahatma Gandhi, from Amitabh Bachchan to Virat Kohli – one thing is common in all these success stories: time, dedication and patience.
Nothing changes overnight, thinking changes
It is true that sometimes luck gives a chance, but only those opportunity are available to those who are already working hard. The foundation of success rests on thinking and action. Those who only dream, often stay away from reality. But people who work a little bit every day, they create history one day.
Social media has made a hurry generation
Nowadays when children see someone on Instagram or on YouTube, they feel that they too may get a shortcut. But they do not see that many years of hard work, rejections, and failure behind that viral person are also hidden. This mentality is “if not done now, it will never happen” – is making the youth impatient. They need to understand that what is found quickly, it is equally snatched away.
It takes years to become history
Chanakya demolished the Nanda dynasty and laid the foundation of the Maurya Empire, but it did not happen overnight. He continued to practice politics, war and ethics for years. Similarly, the sacrifice that Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, Bhagat Singh and Mahatma Gandhi sacrificed for independence were not a day’s work, but it was a decades -lasting movement.
What is the real meaning of richness?
People seek shortcuts to become rich-putting money early in the stock market, earning profits overnight from Crypto or making a viral video. But they do not understand that the real rich is the one who comes from your ability, knowledge and hard work. Such richness lasts, is permanent and inspires others.
Basic mantra of success: discipline + patience + continuity
There is a mention of three things in the story of every successful person – discipline, patience and constant effort. Any area – sports, education, art, or business – there are the same people who work hard, are not afraid of failures, and make themselves better.
