When you look beyond yourself, what do you see?

Few might notice the kind of environment they might be in,

Few might be lost in a trip down their memory lane,

Few might be wondering what the future has in store for them,

and

Few might just look at successful people around them,

Hoping to be like them one day,

or

Cribbing why they themselves couldn’t make it whereas those who did,

How easy it was for them and that they got lucky!

But as you might have experienced yourself,

Nothing comes easy in life,

Be it the likes of Virat Kohli or M S Dhoni,

or

The likes of Shahrukh Khan or Amitabh Bacchan,

Be it the Neeraj Chopra next door,

or

Chetan Bhagat’s in your college,

Be it the well known among startup circles, Bhavish Aggarwal,

or

Be it the not so known yet, Shashank Gupta.

Who ever it might be,

Let me state the obvious,

Without hard work and discipline, achievements and success remains a dream,

Without hours and hours of practice and dedication, goal remains a thing to ponder over,

For

There is no shortcut to success,

There is no alternate to hard work,

There is no success without tons of failures,

No matter which path you want to tread upon,

Be prepared for

Hours and hours of hard work,

Lot of so called sacrifices,

For if it was so easy wheezy,

Majority won’t wonder how they got it so easy!
