Resolving To Succeed-Your NewYear Resolution
Someone great has remarked, ” As I grow older I find that I look more and more for greatness in little things. I want to know what a great man eats and wears, and how he speaks to his servants. I want to find a Sir Philip Sidney greatness!Few men would remember the thirst of others, even in the moment of death. But anyone will be great in a great position!Even the coward will grow brave in the glare of the footlights. The world looks on.”
So, how to become great? How to become a kind of ‘rock star”? When you turn your attention within, you may come up with questions like, “Will the New Year be an occassion to get on to this journey? Isn’t it already too late?
Most of the people do the same thing every year, like a popular new year resolution, “Giving up smoking? I have given it up several times.” A good number of well meaning people however, keep searching for occassions to make resolutions for self-change and New Year is just one such occassion.
Let me tell you a story.
One scientist was experimenting in his laboratory and had done already 1000 experiments. But none of them had worked so far. Someone asked him, “Aren’t you discouraged at your all unsuccessful attempts?Isn’t it a waste of your efforts”?
Do you know what was the reply of this scientist. He said, ” There is nothing wasted. I have discovered 1000 things that won’t work”.
Like this scientist, you may have come across thousands of things in your life that won’t work. The moot point is how we react to our failures. I wish our New Year resolution should be to garner as much mental strength as this scientist had.
We should cultivate that, ‘never-say-die’ attitude while dealing with life’s challenges? This is my New Year Resolution. What is your New Year Resolution?
